Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The balanced equation of the reaction is;
FeBr2 (aq) + Cl2 (g) → FeCl2 (aq) + Br2 (aq)
This reaction is possible because chlorine is more electronegative than bromine and can displace it from its salt.
In group seventeen, electro negativity decreases down the group. Hence as we move down the group, elements become less electronegative and can be displaced from their salt by more electronegative elements found earlier in the group.
Hence chlorine can displace bromine in FeBr2 to form FeCl2.
Answer:
Yes, because Cl2 has higher activity than Br2

A hypothetical metal crystallizes with the face-centered cubic unit cell. The radius of the metal atom is 198 picometers and its molar mass is 195.08 g/mol. Calculate the density of the metal in g/cm3.
Answer:
7.38 g/cm³ is the density of the metal
Explanation:
In a Face-centered cubic unit cell you have 4 atoms. Also, the edge length is √8×r (r is radius of the atom).
To solve this problem, we need first to calculate the volume of the unit cell and then, with molar mass calculate the mass of 4 atoms. As density is the ratio between mass and volume we can obtain this value.
Volume of the unit cellVolume = a³
a = √8×r
(r = 198x10⁻¹²m)
a = 5.6x10⁻¹⁰ m
Volume = 1.756x10⁻²⁸ m³
1m = 100cm → 1m³ = (100cm)³:
1.756x10⁻²⁸ m³× ((100cm)³ / 1m³) =
1.756x10⁻²² cm³ → Volume of the unit cell in cm³Mass of the unit cell:There are 4 atoms of gold:
4 atoms × (1mol / 6.022x10²³ atoms) = 6.64x10⁻²⁴ moles of gold
As 1 mole weighs 195.08g:
6.64x10⁻²⁴ moles of gold × (195.08g / mol) =
1.296x10⁻²¹g is the mass of the unit cellDensity of the metal:1.296x10⁻²¹g / 1.756x10⁻²² cm³ =
7.38 g/cm³ is the density of the metalThe density of the metal is 7.40 g/cm³
In cubic crystal system, face-centered cubic FFC is the name given to sort of atom arrangement observed in which structure is made up of atoms organized in a cube with a portion of an atom in each corner and six extra atoms in the center of each cube face.
It is expressed by using the formula:
[tex]\mathbf{\rho = \dfrac{Z \times M}{N_A\times a^}}[/tex]
where;
[tex]\rho[/tex] = density of the metalZ = atoms coordination no = 4 (for FCC)Molar mass (M) = 195.8 g/molAvogadro's constant (NA) = 6.022 × 10²³ /mola = edge lengthFor face-centered cubic FFC;

When titrating a strong acid with a strong base, after the equivalence point is reached, the pH will be determined exclusively by: Select the correct answer below:
A) hydronium concentration
B) hydroxide concentration
C) conjugate base concentration
D) conjugate acid concentration
Answer:
B) hydroxide concentration
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since we are talking about strong both base and acid, since the base is the titrant and the acid the analyte, once the equivalence point has been reached, some additional base could be added before the experimenter realizes about it, therefore, since the titrant is a strong base, it completely dissociates in hydroxide ions and metallic ions which allows us to compute the pOH of the solution by known the hydroxide ions concentration.
After that, due to the fact that the pH is related with the pOH as shown below:
pH=14-pOH
We can directly compute the pH.

Answer:
The best reducing agent is Zn(s)
Explanation:
A reducing agent must to be able to reduce another compound, by oxidizing itself. Consequently, the oxidation potential must be high. The oxidation potential of a compound is the reduction potential of the same compound with the opposite charge. Given the reduction potentials, the best reducing agent will be the compound with the most negative reduction potential. Among the following reduction potentials:
Cd₂⁺(aq)|Cd(s) ⇒ -0.40 V
Zn²⁺(aq)|Zn(s) ⇒ -0.76 V
Ni²⁺(aq)|Ni(s) ⇒‑0.25 V
Cu²⁺(aq)|Cu(s) ⇒ +0.34 V
Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s) ⇒ +0.80 V
The most negative is Zn²⁺(aq)|Zn(s) ⇒ -0.76 V
From this, the most reducing agent is Zn. Zn(s) is oxidized to Zn²⁺ ions with the highest oxidation potential (0.76 V).

When is a redox reaction spontaneous?
A. When a metal electrode is in contact with an electrolyte
B. When a power source supplies an electrical current
C. When the cell potential is positive
D. When the cell potential is negative
According to the concept of redox reactions, the answer to this question is option C.
When the cell potential is positive. A redox reaction is spontaneous when the cell potential is positive.The cell potential is the measure of the driving force of the chemical reaction occurring in the electrochemical cell. In an electrochemical cell, a redox reaction occurs, which leads to the production of an electric potential.
If this potential is positive, then the redox reaction is considered spontaneous. However, if the potential is negative, then the reaction is non-spontaneous.In general, a redox reaction is spontaneous if the potential difference between the two electrodes of the cell is positive. This means that the reaction will occur spontaneously without any external energy input.
Thus, the correct option is C.

Answer:
The temperature of the air at this given elevation will be 53.32425°C
Explanation:
We can calculate the final temperature through the combined gas law. Therefore we will need to know 1 ) The initial volume, 2 ) The initial temperature, 3 ) Initial Pressure, 4 ) Final Volume, 5 ) Final Pressure.
Initial Volume = 1.2 L ; Initial Temperature = 25°C = 298.15 K ; Initial pressure = 1.0 atm ; Final Volume = 1.8 L ; Final pressure = 0.73 atm
We have all the information we need. Now let us substitute into the following formula, and solve for the final temperature ( T[tex]_2[/tex] ),

When we react a weak acid with a strong base of equal amounts and concentration, the component of the reaction that will have the greatest effect on the pH of the solution is:______.
a. the acid.
b. the base.
c. the conjugate acid.
d. the conjugate base.
Answer:
d. the conjugate base.
Explanation:
The general reaction of a weak acid, HA, with a strong base YOH, is:
HA + YOH → A⁻ + H₂O + Y⁻
Where A⁻ is the conjugate base of the weak acid and Y⁻ usually is a strong electrolyte.
That means after he complete reaction you don't have weak acid nor strong base, just conjugate base that will be in equilibrium with water, thus (Strong electrolyte doesn't change pH:
A⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HA + OH⁻
As the equilibrium is producing OH⁻, the pH of the solution is being affected for the conjugate base
Right option:
d. the conjugate base."How much NH4Cl, when present in 2.00 liters of 0.200 M ammonia, will give a solution with pH = 8.20? For NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5"
Answer:
245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH
Explanation:
The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:
pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]
Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical
First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.
pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺pKb = - log Kb
pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74
pKa = 14 - pKb
pKa = 14 - 4.74
pKa = 9.26
Moles NH₃2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃
H-H equation:pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]
8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]
-1.06 = log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]
0.0087 = [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]
[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087
[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):
4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

When rays travel from a denser medium to a less dense medium, we can define a critical angle of incidence θ such that refracted angle θ₂ = 90°. Applying Snell's law: Critical angle θ = sin-1(n₂/n₁).
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, 100% of the light intensity is reflected. This is called total internal reflection because all the light is reflected.
15. Calculate the critical angle of glass and water combination. Show your calculation.
16. What is the critical angle for the interface between Mystery A and glass?
Explanation:
15. Applying Snell's law; Critical angle θ = sin-1(n₂/n₁).
where n₂,refractive index of water = 1.33, n₁, refractive index of glass = 1.50 since glass is denser than water
θ = sin-1(1.33/1.50)
θ = 62.45°
Critical angle of glass and water combination, θ = 62.45°
16. Refractive index of mystery A , n = c/v
where v = 0.41 c
therefore, n = c / 0.41 c = 2.44
Critical angle for the interface between Mystery A and glass, θ = sin-1(n₂/n₁).
where n₂,refractive index of glass = 1.50, n₁, refractive index of mystery A = 2.44 since mystery A is denser than glass as seen from its refractive index
θ = sin-1(1.50/2.44)
θ = 37.93°
Critical angle for the interface between Mystery A and glass, θ = 37.93°

You want to convert cubic centimetres to cubic metres, so you multiply the cubic centimetres by a conversion factor.
For example, you know that centi means "× 10⁻²", so
1 cm = 10⁻² m
If we divide each side by 1 cm, we get 1 = (10⁻² m/1 cm).
If we divide each side by 10⁻² m, we get (1 cm/10⁻² m) = 1.
So, we can use either (10⁻² m/1 cm) or (1 cm/10⁻² m) as a conversion factor, because each fraction equals one.
We choose the former because it has the desired units on top.
The "cm" is cubed, so we must cube the conversion factor.
The calculation becomes
[tex]\text{0.30 cm}^{3} \times \left (\dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ m}}{\text{1 cm}}\right )^{3} = 0.30 \times 10^{-6}\text{ m}^{3} = \mathbf{3.0 \times 10^{-7}} \textbf{ m}^{\mathbf{3}}\\\\\textbf{0.30 cm}^{\mathbf{3}} \times \left (\dfrac{\mathbf{10^{-2}}\textbf{ m}}{\textbf{1 cm}}\right )^{\mathbf{3}} = \mathbf{3.0 \times 10^{-7}} \textbf{ m}^{\mathbf{3}}[/tex]
In the Lewis structure of AB4 where B is more electronegative than A. Both are main group elements where A has 8 valence electrons and each B has 7 valence electrons.
Required:
a. What is the total number of valence electrons?
b. How many lone pairs are in the molecule?
Answer:
1. 36
2. Two
Explanation:
The Lewis structure shows the valence electrons present in a compound. Usually the valence electrons are shown as dot structures around the symbol of the elements involved in the compound.
For a compound AB4 where B is more electronegative than A and A has 8 electrons in its valence shell, there will be thirty six valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.
There are six electron pair domains present in the molecule, four bond pairs and two lone pairs. The molecule is in a square planar geometry.
Answer: a- 36 valence electrons
b- 14 lone pairs
Explanation:
Valence is equal to A + 4B = 8 + 4(7)
With 4 bonds between A and the 4 B, that is 36 valence minus 8 electrons in those pairs = 28. 28 is 14 lone pairs.
