Hello!
The statement that a solution of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is weakly basic is true:
Sodium acetate is the conjugate base of Acetic Acid. When sodium acetate is dissolved in water, it follows the equation that is shown below:
CH₃COONa(s) → CH₃COO⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)
Now the Acetate (CH₃COO⁻) ion, has an equilibrium in water to produce hydroxyl (OH⁻) ions and (Acetic Acid CH₃COOH)
CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COOH + OH⁻
This is a weak equilibrium, and the hydroxyl ions cause the solution to be weakly basic.
Have a nice day!
Answer and Explanation:
Iodine have lower atomic mass than tellurium even though the atomic number of iodine is more than the atomic number of tellurium
This is because the atomic weight of any element is the sum of number of proton and number of neutron, even though the number of proton in iodine is more so but the number of neutron is less as compared to tellurium which makes the tellurium of high atomic mass
This is an incomplete question, the given sketch is shown below.
Answer : The name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
Explanation :
Unit cell : It is defined as the smallest 3-dimensional portion of a complete space lattice which when repeated over the and again in different directions produces the complete space lattice.
There are three types of unit cell.
- SCC (simple-centered cubic unit cell)
- BCC (body-centered cubic unit cell)
- FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
In SCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners.

The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 1
In BCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners and the body center.

The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 2
The given unit cell is, FCC because the atoms are arranged at the corners and the center of the 6 faces.

The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 4
Thus, the name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)

See the explanation
Explanation:
1) The Lewis structure for
has a central Carbon<em> </em>atom attached to Oxygen atoms.
In the
we will have a structure: O=C=O the <u>central atom</u> "carbon" we will have <u>2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp hybridization</u>. For O we have <u>1 pi and 1 sigma bond</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp2 hybridization</u>.
2) These atoms are held together by <u>double bonds.</u>
<u></u>
Again in the structure of
: O=C=O we only have double bonds.
3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a <u>Linear</u> electron geometry.
Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.
4. The carbon atom is <u>Sp</u> hybridized.
We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an <u>Sp</u> hybridization.
5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.
(See figures)

Answer: The
for the given chemical reaction is -175.51 kJ/mol
Explanation: Enthalpy change of the reaction is defined as the amount of heat released or absorbed in a given chemical reaction.
Mathematically,

We are given a chemical reaction. The reaction follows:




Enthalpy change for the reaction of he given chemical reaction is given by:

Putting the values in above equation, we get
