Answer:

The CH₃ carbon atom has tetrahedral geometry and the nitrile carbon atom has linear geometry

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory, in an acetonitrile:

The outer carbon atom CH₃, which is connected to three hydrogen atoms and one central carbon atom, has 4 bond pairs of electrons and zero lone pair. Therefore, outer carbon atom CH₃ has a TETRAHEDRAL geometry.

The nitrile carbon atom (C≡N), which forms a single bond with the outer CH₃ carbon atom and triple bond with the nitrogen atom, has two bond pairs and zero lone pairs.

Therefore, nitrile carbon atom has a LINEAR geometry.

Phosphorous acid, H3PO3(aq), is a diprotic oxyacid that is an important compound in industry and agriculture. K pKa1 K pKa2 1.30
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

* Before addition of any KOH:

pH = 0,0301

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

pH = 1,30

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

pH = 2,87

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

pH = 6,70

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

pH = 10,7

Explanation:

H₃PO₃ has the following equilibriums:

H₃PO₃ ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ H⁺

k = [H₂PO₃⁻] [H⁺] / [H₃PO₃] k = 10^-(1,30) <em>(1)</em>

H₂PO₃⁻ ⇄ HPO₃²⁻ + H⁺

k = [HPO₃²⁻] [H⁺] / [H₂PO₃⁻] k = 10^-(6,70) <em>(2)</em>

Moles of H₃PO₃ are:

0,0500L×(1,8mol/L) = 0,09 moles of H₃PO₃

* Before addition of any KOH:

Using (1), moles in equilibrium are:

H₃PO₃: 0,09-x

H₂PO₃⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-1.30} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.51x10⁻³ - 0.050x -x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.0466589

As volume is 0,050L

[H⁺] = 0.0466589moles / 0,050L = 0,933M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 0,0301</em>

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

0,025L×1,8M = 0,045 moles of KOH that reacts with H₃PO₃ thus:

KOH + H₃PO₃ → H₂PO₃⁻ + H₂O

That means moles of KOH will be the same of H₂PO₃⁻ and moles of H₃PO₃ are 0,09moles - 0,045moles = 0,045moles

Henderson-Hasselbalch formula is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] /[HA]

Where A⁻ is H₂PO₃⁻ and HA is H₃PO₃.

Replacing:

pH = 1,30 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 1,30</em>

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

The addition of 50.0 mL KOH consume all H₃PO₃. Thus, in the solution you will have just H₂PO₃⁻. Thus, moles in solution for the equilibrium will be:

H₂PO₃⁻: 0,09-x

HPO₃²⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-6.70} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

1.8x10⁻⁸ - 2x10⁻⁷x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000134064

As volume is 50,0mL + 50,0mL = 100,0mL

[H⁺] = 0.000134064moles / 0,100L = 1.34x10⁻³M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 2,87</em>

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

Applying Henderson-Hasselbalch formula you will have 0,045 moles of both H₂PO₃⁻ HPO₃²⁻ and pka: 6,70:

pH = 6,70 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 6,70</em>

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

You will have just 0,09moles of HPO₃²⁻, the equilibrium will be:

HPO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ + OH⁻ with kb = kw/ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴/10^-(6,70) = 5,01x10⁻⁸

kb = [H₂PO₃⁻] [OH⁻] / [HPO₃²⁻]

Moles are:

H₂PO₃⁻: x

OH⁻: x

HPO₃²⁻: 0,09-x

Replacing:

5.01x10^{-8} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.5x10⁻⁹ - 5.01x10⁻⁸x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000067057

As volume is 50,0mL + 100,0mL = 150,0mL

[OH⁻] = 0.000067057moles / 0,150L = 4.47x10⁻⁴M

As pH = 14-pOH; pOH = -log [OH⁻]

<em>pH = 10,7</em>

A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the iron has an initial temperatur
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K

Explanation:

Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.

The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold

Assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation, rank these aqueous solutions by their freezing points. NH4l, CoBr3, Na2
seraphim [82]
Answer:

NaI > Na2SO4 > Co Br3

meaning that NaI has the highest freezing point, and Co Br3 has the lowest freezing point.

Explanation:

The freezing point depression is a colligative property.

That means that it depends on the number of solute particles dissolved.

The formula to calculate the freezing point depression of a solution of a non volatile solute is:

ΔTf = i * Kf * m

Where kf is a constant, m is the molality and i is the van't Hoff factor.

Molality, which is number of moles per kg of solvent, counts for the number of moles dissolved and the van't Hoff factor multipllies according for molecules that dissociate.

The higher the number of molecules that dissociate, the higher the van't Hoff, the greater the freezing point depression and the lower the freezing point.

As the question states that you assume equal concentrations (molality) and complete dissociation you just must find the number of ions generated by each solute, in this way:

NH4 I → NH4(+) + I(-) => 2 ions

Co Br3 → Co(+) + 3 Br(-) => 4 ions

Na2SO4 → 2Na(+) + SO4(2-) => 3 ions.

So, Co Br3 is the solute that generate more particles and that solution will exhibit the lowest freezing point among the options given, Na2SO4 is next and the NaI is the third. Ordering the freezing point from higher to lower the rank is NaI > Na2SO4 > CoBr3, which is the answer given.
