Answer: B) $P_4I_{10}$

Explanation: $P_4I_{10}$ is a covalent compound because sharing of electrons takes place between phosphorous and iodine. Both the elements are non-metals and hence, will form covalent bond.

The nomenclature of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written then, and a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

3. If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms , 'tetra' for 4 atoms and so on.

So, the IUPAC name for $P_4I_{10}$ is tetraphosphorus decaiodide.

The answer is B.

Tetraphosphorus is written as P4, and decaiodide as I10, so when you put them together, it's P4I10

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).

Genrish500 [490]

Answer is: concentration of ammonium ions are 7,14·10⁻¹⁴ M.
Chemical reaction: 2NH₃(l) → NH₄⁺(am) + NH₂⁻(am).
Kam = 5,1·10⁻²⁷.
[NH₄⁺] · [NH₂⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration of cations and anions.
Kam = [NH₄⁺] · [NH₂⁻].
Kam = x².
x = [NH₄⁺] = √5,1·10⁻²⁷.
[NH₄⁺] = 7,14·10⁻¹⁴ M.

(ii) When shale gas is burned, the hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.
