Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic compounds.

A water solution is found to have a molar oh- concentration of 3.2 x 10-5. the solution would be classified as :_______.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A water solution is found to have a molar oh- concentration of 3.2 x 10-5. the solution would be classified as neutral.

The concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is measured by pOH. It is a way of expressing how alkaline a solution is. At 25 degrees Celsius, aqueous solutions with pOH values of 7 or less are neutral, whereas those with pOH values of 7 or more are acidic. The hydrogen ion potential is known as pH. The potential of hydroxide ions is known as pOH. 2. It is a scale used to estimate the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in the solution. The hydroxide ion (OH-) concentration of the solution is measured using this scale.

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 3.2x 10-5

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH) =10^(- 3.2x 10-5)

= 0.99

Write a covalent compound formed by nitrogen and oxygen. what is its Lewis structure

iragen [17]

Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.

Answer the following questions based on the reaction below: NaOH(aq) + KHP(s) --> NaKP(aq)+H2O(I)

Natali [406]

Answer:

a) 1.44g

b) 77.3%

Explanation:

1. Chemical balanced equation (given)

$NaOH(aq)+ KHP(s)\rightarrow NaKP(aq)+H_2O(l)$

2. Mole ratio

$1molNaOH(aq):1molKHP(s)$

This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.

3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base

$Molarity=\text{number of moles of solute}/\text{volume of solution in liters}$

$\text{Volume of solution}=72.14mL=0.07214liters$

$\text{Number of moles of NaOH}=0.0978M\times 0.07214liter=0.007055mol$

4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted

The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol

Convert moles to grams:

mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol

mass = 1.4408 g.

You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).

5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample

The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.

The formula is:

% = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100

% = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%

A solution is prepared by dissolving 23.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the

alekssr [168]

The density of the solution =1.05 g/ml.
The total mass of the resulting solution is = 398.7 g (CaCl2 + water)

Find moles of CaCl2 and water.
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 110 (approx.)

Moles of CaCl2 = 23.7 / 110 = 0.22
so, moles of Cl- ion = 2 x 0.22 = 0.44 (because each molecule of CaCl2 will give two Cl- ions)
Moles of water = 375 / 18 = 20.83

Now, Mole fraction of CaCl2 = (moles of CaCl2) / (total moles)

total moles = moles of Cl- ions + moles of Ca2+ ions + moles of water

= 0.44 + 0.22 + 20.83

=21.49

So, mole fraction = 0.44 / (21.49) = 0.02

Guess what !!! density is not used. No need
