Explain why calcium combines in a different ratio to a fluoride ion versus an oxide ion.

Chemistry

Answer:

This is due the different charges of fluoride and oxide ions.

Explanation:

When calcium reacts it is oxidized to Ca²⁺. In the same way, fluoride ion is reduced to F⁻ and oxide ion to O²⁻.

When these ions are combined, the molecule must be neutral. That means 2 ions of F⁻ are necessaries and just 1 O²⁻ ion will reacts producing:

CaF₂ and CaO.

The different charges of these ions is the reason why calcium will combine in different ratios.

The pka of hf is 3.2 determine the pkb of hf?
Julli [10]

Well, first we must remember that

pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

This is because

K_{a}*K_{b}=10^{-14}

-log(K_{a}*K_{b})=-log(10^{-14})\\-logK_{a}+-logK_{b}=-log(10^{-14})\\pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

So then

pK_{b}=14-pK_{a}=14-3.2=1.8

When 1.57 mol o2 reacts with h2 to form h2o, how many moles of h2 are consumed in the process?
natita [175]

Here we have to get the moles of hydrogen (H₂) consumed to form water (H₂O) from 1.57 moles of oxygen (O₂)

In this process 3.14 moles of H₂ will be consumed.

The balanced reaction between oxygen (O₂) and hydrogen (H₂); both of which are in gaseous state to form water, which is liquid in nature can be written as-

2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) = 2H₂O (l).

Thus form the equation we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen to form 2 moles of water.

So, 1.57 moles of oxygen will consume (1.57×2) = 3.14 moles of hydrogen to form water.

1) ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.
p - pressure of gas.
V -volume of gas.
n - amount of substance.
R - universal gas constant.
T - temperature of gas.
n₁ = 0,04 mol, V₁ = 0,06 l.
n₂ = 0,07 mol, V₂ = 0,06 · 0,07 ÷ 0,04 = 0,105 l.
2) V₁ = 0,06 l, T₁ = 240,00 K.
T₂ = 340,00 K, V₂ = 340 · 0,06 ÷ 240 = 0,05 l.

An important reaction sequence in the industrial production of nitric acid is the following: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) 4NH3(g) +
frutty [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 50 moles of O₂

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reactions

1.-                 N₂(g)  +  3H₂ (g)   ⇒   2NH₃ (g)

2.-                4NH₃ (g) + 5O₂(g)  ⇒  4NO (g)  +  6H₂O (l)

moles of N₂(g) = 20 moles

moles of O₂(g) = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the moles of NH₃

                     1 mol of N₂ ------------- 2 moles of NH₃

                   20 moles of N₂ ---------  x

                     x = (20 x 2) / 1

                     x = 40 moles of NH₃

2.- Calculate the moles of O₂

                4 moles of NH₃ -------------- 5 O₂

               40 moles of NH₃ ------------  x

                    x = (40 x 5) / 4

                    x = 200 / 4

                    x = 50 moles of O₂

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The open system evaporates the solvent in the solution

Explanation:

An open system is a system in which exchange of materials and energy can occur. If a TLC set up is left open, then the set up constitutes an open system.

During TLC, the sample is dotted on the plate and inserted into a suitable solvent. The solvent moves up the plate and achieves the required separation of the mixture.

Most of these solvents used used TLC are volatile organic compounds. Therefore, if the TLC set up is left open, the solvent will evaporate leading to poor results after running the TLC experiment.
