An ionic compound has the general form, xcly. which option for x and y correctly completes the formula?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:
Case 1:
  X =  Any element from Group I

i)   H
ii)   Li
iii) Na
   iv) K
v)   Rb
vi)  Cs

  Y =  1

Case 2:
  X = Any element from Group II

i) Be
ii) Mg
iii) Ca
iv) Sr
v) Ba
vi) Ra

  Y = 2

Case 3:
  X =  Any element from Group III

i)   B
ii)   Al
iii) Ga
   iv) In
v)   Ti

  Y =  3

Explanation:
The general formula given is as follow,

XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

the height of a column of mercury in barometer is 754.3mm. what us the atmospheric pressure in atm. in kPa.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 atm = 760mmHg
754.3 mmHg / 760 mmHg * 1atm = 0.99 atm
760 mmHg = 101.3 KPa
754.3 mmHg/ 760mmHg *101.3 KPa = 100.54 KPa

A cylinder contains 4.0 g of nitrogen gas. A piston compresses the gas to half its initial volume. Afterward, by what factor has

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The mass density will be doubled

Explanation:

Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
An increase in mass causes an increase in density and vice versa, while a decrease in volume causes an increase in density and volume.
Therefore, when the volume is halved, then the density will be doubled if the mass is kept constant.
This has no effect on the number of moles as the mass is constant.

If PbI2(s) is dissolved in 1.0MNaI(aq) , is the maximum possible concentration of Pb2+(aq) in the solution greater than, less th

fredd [130]

Answer:

$\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}$

Less than the concentration of Pb2+(aq) in the solution in part ( a )

Explanation:

From the question:

We assume that s to be the solubility of PbI₂.

The equation of the reaction is given as :

PbI₂(s) ⇌ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq); Ksp = 7 × 10⁻⁹

[Pb²⁺] = s

Then [I⁻] = 2s

$K_{sp} =\text{[Pb$^{2+}$][I$^{-}$]}^{2} = s\times (2s)^{2} = 4s^{3}\\s^{3} = \dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}\\\\s =\mathbf{ \sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}\\\\\text{The mathematical expressionthat can be used to determine the value of }\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}$

The Concentration of Pb²⁺ in water is calculated as :

$\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}$

$\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{7*10^{-9}}{4}}}$

$\mathbf{s} =\sqrt[3]{1.75*10^{-9}}$

$\mathbf{s} =\mathbf{1.21*10^{-3} \ mol/L }$

The Concentration of Pb²⁺ in 1.0 mol·L⁻¹ NaI

$\mathbf{PbCl{_2}} \leftrightharpoons \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{Pb^{2+}} \ \ \ \ \ + \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{2 I^-}$

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf0} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{1.0}$

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{+x} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{+2x}$

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{+x} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{1.0+2x}$

The equilibrium constant:

$K_{sp} =[Pb^{2+}}][I^-]^2 \\ \\ K_{sp} = s*(1.0*2s)^2 =7*1.0^{-9} \\ \\ s = 7*10^{-9} \ \ m/L$

It is now clear that maximum possible concentration of Pb²⁺ in the solution is less than that in the solution in part (A). This happens due to the common ion effect. The added iodide ion forces the position of equilibrium to shift to the left, reducing the concentration of Pb²⁺.

) Do you think the pH of 1,0 M tri-methyl ammonium (CH3)3NH+, pKa = 9.80, will be higher or lower than that of 1.0 M phenol, C6H

Elanso [62]

Answer:

1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).

2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.

Explanation:

1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}])$
