Answer:

${ \rm{F _{2(g)} + 2KCl _{(aq)} → { \bold{2KF _{(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} }}}}$

Explanation:

» The prediction is 98% correct because single displacement reaction type is highly possible.

This is because Fluorine has is more electronegative than Chlorine in Potassium Chloride. So, it strongly displaces Chlorine from the solution hence forming Chlorine gas.

» The 2% of wrong prediction maybe because of wrong reactant measurements following mole concept chemistry.

If you are asked the observation,

Observation » A green yellowish gas is formed.

This gas is Chlorine gas (Cl2)

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when Na₂CO₃ and AgNO₃ are mixed in aqueous solution. If no reaction

alexdok [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when Na₂CO₃ and AgNO₃ are mixed in aqueous solution. If no reaction occurs, simply write only NR.

Ag (+1) + NO3(-1) + 2 Na(+1) + Co3 (-2)--> Ag2CO3 (s) + 2 Na (+1) + 2NO3(-1)

If 2.0 mol of Zn is mixed with 3.0 mol of HCl, which reactant will be limiting?

Soloha48 [4]

The following Balanced Reaction will take place:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction

Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:

Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn

Identifying the Limiting Reagent:

But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.

So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent

A solution that is 0.20 m in hcho2 and 0.15 m in nacho2 find ph

Mashutka [201]

We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH

The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])

We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87

So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

Which statement is incorrect regarding the reaction of benzene with an electrophile? View Available Hint(s) A) The carbocation i

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The carbocation intermediate reacts with a nucleophile to form the addition product.

Explanation:

The reaction of benzene with an electrophile is an electrophillic substitution reaction. Here the electrophile replaces hydrogen. There is no formation of carbocation as intermediate in the reaction. Infact there is transition state where the electorphile attacks on benzene ring and at the same time the hydrogen gets removed from the benzene. So a transition carbocation is formed.

The general mechanism is shown in the figure.

i) Attack of the electrophile on the benzene (which is the nucleophile)

ii) The carbocation intermediate loses a proton from the carbon bonded to the electrophile.

iii) the carbocation formation is the rate determining step.

iv) There is no formation of addition product.

Thus the wrong statement is

The carbocation intermediate reacts with a nucleophile to form the addition product.
