Answer:
Neutral
Explanation:
pKa of acid = -log Ka
= -log (1.8 x 10^-5)
= 4.74
pKb of base = -log Kb
= 4.74
pKa of acid = pKb of base
salt pH formula : pH = 7 + 1/2 [pKa -pKb ]
here pKa = pKb
so pH = 7
the salt it is CH3COONH4 exactly neutral solution .
If a salt is formed by combining NH₃ (Kb=1.8×10⁻⁵) and CH₃COOH (Ka=1.8×10⁻⁵), an aqueous solution of this salt would be neutral.
What information does pH convey?pH of any solution tells about the acidity or basicity or neutral nature of the solution.
pH of any solution is directly proportional to the acid dissociation constant value (Ka) and base dissociation constant (Kb). In the question it is given that,
Value of Kb for NH₃ = 1.8×10⁻⁵
Value of Ka for CH₃COOH = 1.8×10⁻⁵
Ka & Kb values for the base and acid is same means it dissociates with same extent. So the aqueous solution of this acid and base is a neutral in nature as they have same number of acid and base ions in it.
Hence resultant solution will be a neutral solution .

How many grams of sodium chloride are required to make 2.00 L of a solution with a concentration of 0.100 M?
Answer:
Mass = 11.688g
Explanation:
Volume = 2.00L
Molar concentration = 0.100M
Mass = ?
These quantities are relatted by the following equation;
Conc = Number of moles / volume
Number of moles = Conc * Volume = 2 * 0.100 = 0.2 mol
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Mass = 0.2mol * 58.44g/mol
Mass = 11.688g
If the rate of formation (also called rate of production) of compound C is 2M/s in the reaction A --->2C, what is the rate of consumption of A
Answer:
[tex]r_A=-1\frac{M}{s}[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the rate of production of C, we can compute the rate of consumption of A by using the rate relationships which include the stoichiometric coefficients at the denominators (-1 for A and 2 for C) as follows:
[tex]\frac{1}{-1} r_A=\frac{1}{2}r_C[/tex]
In such a way, solving the rate of consumption of A, we obtain:
[tex]r_A=-\frac{1}{2} r_C=-\frac{1}{2}*2\frac{M}{s}\\ \\r_A=-1\frac{M}{s}[/tex]
Clearly, such rate is negative which account for consumption process.

What is Non Metal?
help me find
The element which can not loose electron easily and having electronagtive character is called non-metal it has following property-
1. it can not conduct heat and electricity
2. it is netiher ductile not malleable
3. it is not lsuturous and also not sonorous
Explanation:
a nonmetal (or non-metal) is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Chemically, nonmetals tend to have relatively high ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. They gain or share electrons when they react with other elements and chemical compounds. Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals: most are gases (hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon); one is a liquid (bromine); and a few are solids (carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and iodine). Metalloids such as boron, silicon, and germanium are sometimes counted as nonmetals.

To find the pH of a solution of NH4Br directly, one would need to use:__________
Select the correct answer below:
a) the Kb of NH3 to find the hydroxide concentration
b) the Ka of NH+4 to find the hydronium concentration
c) the Kb of NH3 to find the hydronium concentration
d) the Ka of NH+4 to find the hydroxide concentration
Answer:
b) the Ka of NH₄⁺ to find the hydronium concentration
Explanation:
The equilbrium of NH₄⁺ (The conjugate acid of NH₃, a weak base), is:
NH₄⁺ ⇄ NH₃ + H⁺
Where Ka of the conjugate acid is:
Ka = [NH₃] [H⁺] / [NH₄⁺]
Thus, if you know Ka of NH₄⁺ and its molar concentration you can calculate [H⁺], the hydronium concentration, to find pH (Because pH = -log [H⁺])
Thus, right option is:
b) the Ka of NH₄⁺ to find the hydronium concentrationg Which ONE of the following molecules and ions has trigonal planar molecular geometry? (NOTE: You must first determine what the Lewis structure of each substance is.) A) PCl3 B) HCN C) CO3 2– D) H3O+ E) NF3
Answer: C) [tex]CO^{2-}_{3}[/tex]
Explanation: The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model (VSEPR Model) shows bonding and nonbonding electron pairs present in the valence, outermost, shell of an atom connecting to other atoms. It also gives the molecular geometric shape of a molecule.
To determine molecular geometry:
1) Draw Lewis Structure, i.e., a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons;
2) Count the number of electron pairs (count multiple bonds as 1 pair);
3) Arrange electron pairs to minimise repulsion;
4) Position the atoms to minimise the lone pair;
5) Name the molecular geometry from the atom position;
Trigonal planar molecular geometry is a model which molecule's shape is triangular and in one plane. Such molecule has three regions of electron density extending out from the central atom and the repulsion will be at minimum when angle between any two is 120°.
The Lewis structure of each molecule is shown in the attachment.
Analysing each one, it can be concluded that molecule with trigonal planar geometry is [tex]CO^{2-}_{3}[/tex]
A 30.5 g sample of a compound contains 9.29 g of nitrogen and the rest is oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
Answer:
The empirical formula of the compound is NO2.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of compound = 30.5 g
Mass of nitrogen (N) = 9.29 g
Empirical formula of compound =?
Next, we shall determine the mass of oxygen in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of compound = 30.5 g
Mass of nitrogen (N) = 9.29 g
Mass of oxygen (O) =?
Mass of O = mass of compound – mass of N.
Mass of O = 30.5 – 9.29
Mass of O = 21.21 g
Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound as follow:
Mass of nitrogen (N) = 9.29 g
Mass of oxygen (O) = 21.21 g
Divide by their molar mass.
N = 9.29 / 14 = 0.664
O = 21.21 / 16 = 1.326
Divide by the smallest
N = 0.664/ 0.664 = 1
O = 1.326/ 0.664 = 2
Therefore the empirical formula of the compound is NO2.

Answer:
[tex]M_{acid}=0.141M[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the reaction between sulfuric acid and hydroxide is:
[tex]H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O[/tex]
We can notice a 1:2 molar ratio between the acid and the base respectively, therefore, at the equivalence point we have:

Calculate the entropy change in the surroundings associated with this reaction occurring at 25∘C. Express the entropy change to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Answer:
That means that if you are calculating entropy change, you must multiply the enthalpy change value by 1000. So if, say, you have an enthalpy change of -92.2 kJ mol-1, the value you must put into the equation is -92200 J mol-1
The entropy change in the surroundings associated with this reaction occurring at 25 degree C is calculated as ΔS = -ΔH/T J/K.
What is entropy?Entropy is a quantity which gives idea about the randomness or arrangement of atoms or molecules present in any sample.
Entropy change will be calculated as:
ΔS = -ΔH/T, where
ΔH = chnage in enthalpy (J/mole)
T = temperature (K)
So to calculate the entropy change first we have to know about the value of enthalpy in joules and then divide it by the temperature.
Hence the unit of entropy is joule per kelvin.

The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is: a. the temperature change b. the amount of heat given off or absorbed c. related to molar volume d. none of the above
Answer:
b. the amount of heat given off or absorbed
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we should take into account a formal definition of enthalpy change such as an energetic change that occurs in a system when matter is transformed by a given chemical reaction from reactants to products. Thus, such energetic change is macroscopically exhibited and it is related with either a temperature increase or decrease; it means that if a reaction exhibits a temperature increase, we say that heat was given off and if the temperature exhibits a decrease, we say that heat is absorbed. For that reason, answer is b. the amount of heat given off or absorbed.

Can solid FeBr2 react with Cl2 gas to produce solid FeCl2 and Br2 gas? Why or why not?
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

Answer:
[tex]1.25~mol~H_2O[/tex] and [tex]0.627~mol~N_2[/tex]
Explanation:
Our goal for this question is the calculation of the number of moles of the molecules produced by the reaction of hydrazine ([tex]N_2H_4[/tex]) and oxygen ([tex]O_2[/tex]). So, we can start with the reaction between these compounds:
[tex]N_2H_4~+~O_2~->~N_2~+~H_2O[/tex]
Now we can balance the reaction:
[tex]N_2H_4~+~O_2~->~N_2~+~2H_2O[/tex]
In the problem, we have the values for both reagents. Therefore we have to calculate the limiting reagent. Our first step, is to calculate the moles of each compound using the molar masses values (32.04 g/mol for [tex]N_2H_4[/tex] and 31.99 g/mol for [tex]O_2[/tex]):
[tex]20.1~g~N_2H_4\frac{1~mol~N_2H_4}{32.04~g~N_2H_4}=0.627~mol~N_2H_4[/tex]
[tex]20.1~g~O_2\frac{1~mol~O_2}{31.99~g~O_2}=0.628~mol~O_2[/tex]
In the balanced reaction we have 1 mol for each reagent (the numbers in front of [tex]O_2[/tex] and [tex]N_2H_4[/tex] are 1). Therefore the smallest value would be the limiting reagent, in this case, the limiting reagent is [tex]N_2H_4[/tex].
With this in mind, we can calculate the number of moles for each product. In the case of [tex]N_2[/tex] we have a 1:1 molar ratio (1 mol of [tex]N_2[/tex] is produced by 1 mol of [tex]N_2H_4[/tex]), so:
[tex]0.627~mol~N_2H_4\frac{1~mol~N_2}{1~mol~N_2H_4}=~0.627~mol~N_2[/tex]
We can follow the same logic for the other compound. In the case of [tex]H_2O[/tex] we have a 1:2 molar ratio (2 mol of [tex]H_2O[/tex] is produced by 1 mol of [tex]N_2H_4[/tex]), so:
[tex]0.627~mol~N_2H_4\frac{2~mol~H_2O}{1~mol~N_2H_4}=~1.25~mol~H_2O[/tex]

D) lowest b.p.... acetone < isobutane < isopropanol ...highest b.p. E) lowest b.p.... acetone < isopropanol < isobutane ...highest b.p.
Answer:
The correct answer is - option B - lowest b.p.... isobutane < acetone < isopropanol ...highest b.p.
Explanation:
Isobutane has lowest boiling point due to no hydrogen bonding and no diole to dipole interaction found in them. Isobutane only shows weak dispersion force.
Acetone has dipole dipole interaction but due to lack of Hydrogen bonding they have low boiling point than isopropanol but higher than isobutanol.
Isopropanol is the compound that has ability to form hydrogen bonding with other molecule its boiling point is maximum among all three.
Thus, the correct answer is - option B - lowest b.p.... isobutane < acetone < isopropanol ...highest b.p.
Arrange the following substances in the order of increasing entropy at 25°C. HF(g), NaF(s), SiF 4(g), SiH 4(g), Al(s) lowest → highest
Answer:
Al(s)<NaF(s)<HF(g)<SiH4(g)<SiF4(g)
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we can arrange the increasing order of entropy at 25 \°C by taking into account, at first, that since solids are more molecularly organized than gases, the first we have solid sodium fluoride and solid aluminium, but in this case, as the higher the molar mass, the higher the entropy, the molar mass of aluminium is 27 g/mol and 42 g/mol for sodium fluoride, therefore, we first have:
Al(s)<NaF(s)
Afterwards, since the molar mass of hydrogen fluoride (HF), silicon fluoride (SiF4) and silane (SiH4) are 20, 104 and 32 g/mol respctively, since silicon fluoride has the greater molar mass, it also has the higher entropy. In such a way, the overall order turns out:
Al(s)<NaF(s)<HF(g)<SiH4(g)<SiF4(g)

A galvanic cell consists of a Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq) half-cell and a Cd(s)|Cd2+(aq) half-cell connected by a salt bridge. Oxidation occurs in the cadmium half-cell. The cell can be represented in standard notation as
Answer:
[tex]Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)[/tex]
Explanation:
A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.
The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.
As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

Sum of the internal energy plus the product of the pressure and volume for a reaction
Answer:
Difference of the enthalpy (of a system) minus the product of the entropy and absolute temperature
Explanation:
The basis of spontaneity in a chemical reaction is that ∆G must be negative. ¡∆G is known as the change in free energy of a system. If ∆G is negative, then the reaction will occur without any external help (the reaction is spontaneous at room temperature).
∆G is given by;
∆G= ∆H -T∆S
Where;
∆H= change in enthalpy of the system
T= absolute temperature of the system
∆S= change in entropy
Hence; when ∆H -T∆S gives a negative result, the reaction proceeds without any external help.
Consider the reaction for the dissolution of solid magnesium hydroxide.
Mg(OH)2(s)g2 (a) +2OH (ag)
If the concentration of hydroxide ion in a saturated solution of magnesium hydroxide is 2.24 x 104 M.
what is the molar solubility of magnesium hydroxide? Report your answer in scientific notation with three significant figures.
Answer:
Molar solubility is 1.12x10⁻⁴M
Explanation:
The dissolution of magnesium hydroxide is:
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺ + 2OH⁻
The molar solubility represents the moles of the solid that the solution can dissolve, that could be written as:
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ X + 2X
Where X is solubility.
If you obtained a [OH⁻] = 2.24x10⁻⁴M and you know [OH⁻] = 2X:
2X = 2.24x10⁻⁴M
X = 2.24x10⁻⁴M/2
X =1.12x10⁻⁴M
Molar solubility is 1.12x10⁻⁴M
acid-catalyzed hydration of 1-methylcyclohexene gives two alcohols. The major product does not undergo oxidation, while the minor product will undergo oxidation. Explain
Answer:
Major product does not undergo oxidation since it is a tertiary alcohol whereas minor product undergoes oxidation to ketone as it is secondary alcohol.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the attached picture, the hydration of the 1 methylcyclohexene yields to alcohols; 1-methylcyclohexan-1-ol and 1-methylcyclohexan-2-ol. Thus, since the OH in the 1-methylcyclohexan-1-ol (major product) is bonded to a tertiary carbon (bonded with other three carbon atoms) it is not able to increase the number of oxygen bonds (oxidation) as it already attained the octet whereas the 1-methylcyclohexan-2-ol (minor product) is able to undergo oxidation to ketone as the carbon bonded to it is secondary (bonded with other two carbon atoms), so one extra bond the oxygen is allowed to be formed to carbonyl.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Compound X has a molar mass of 153.05 g/mol and the following composition:
element mass %
carbon 47.09%
hydrogen 6.59%
chlorine 46.33%
Write the molecular formula of X.
Answer: The molecular formula of X is [tex]C_6H_{10}Cl_2[/tex]
Explanation:
If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.
So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of C= 47.09 g
Mass of H = 6.59 g
Mass of Cl = 46.33 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{47.09g}{12g/mole}=3.92moles[/tex]
Moles of H =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.59g}{1g/mole}=6.59moles[/tex]
Moles of Cl =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac{46.33g}{35.5g/mole}=1.30moles[/tex]
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C = [tex]\frac{3.92}{1.30}=3[/tex]
For H = [tex]\frac{6.59}{1.30}=5[/tex]
For Cl =[tex]\frac{1.30}{1.30}=1[/tex]
The ratio of C : H: Cl= 3: 5 :1
Hence the empirical formula is [tex]C_3H_5Cl[/tex]
The empirical weight of [tex]C_3H_5Cl[/tex] = 3(12)+5(1)+1(35.5)= 76.5g.
The molecular weight = 153.05 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.
[tex]n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{153.05}{76.5}=2[/tex]
The molecular formula will be=[tex]2\times C_3H_5Cl=C_6H_{10}Cl_2[/tex]
