If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?
The conjugate acid of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid.
The conjugate acid of hydrofluoric acid is stronger than that of acetic acid.
The conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid.
The conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is stronger than that of acetic acid.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, [tex]HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}[/tex]

The conjugate base is [tex]F^{-}[/tex] which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

[tex]CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air varies with the seasons. Would you expect the partial pressure in the Northern Hemisphere to be higher in the summer or winter

Answers

Answer:

It will be higher in the summer.

Explanation:

Usually, the winter season is more harsh a weather on leaves than summer because it is wet season and thus has less sunlight and this means there will be less photosynthesis reactions and therefore it means the partial pressure will be lesser here unlike in the summer when it is a more warm and dry weather with sunlight where photosynthesis reactions will be more favorable to occur.

Thus, CO2 which is a great component of photosynthesis is used more in the summer and as such the partial pressure in the summer will be higher.

How did Rutherford's gold foil experiment show that Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was
incorrect?

Answers

Answer:

He blasted alpha rays at the gold foils. The Alpha rays are charged positive. When he blasted them the protons deflected and changed the course of them and the electrons surrounding the atom let them through. In the plum pudding model they were supposed to be sprinkled on which was clearly wrong according to that experiment.

If an atom has 32 protons in the nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus

Answers

An atom is neutral as it has the same number of electrons that of protons. So, if an atom has 32 protons i.e. the atomic number of it is 32, then it will have 32 electrons revolving the nucleus.

What volume is occupied by 0.109 molmol of helium gas at a pressure of 0.98 atmatm and a temperature of 307 K

Answers

Answer:

2.8 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole (n) = 0.109 mole

Pressure (P) = 0.98 atm

Temperature (T) = 307 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

The volume of the helium gas can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

0.98 × V = 0.109 × 0.0821 × 307

0.98 × V = 2.7473123

Divide both side by 0.98

V = 2.7473123 / 0.98

V = 2.8 L

Thus, the volume of the helium gas is 2.8 L.

1.What is the most common isotope for element X

2.Calculate the average atomic mass or element X

Answers

Answer:

1. Isotope 2 occurs most commonly

2. 39.02amu

Explanation:

1. Isotope 2 has a relative abundance of 78.68% i.e. 78.68 out of 100, hence, it is the isotope that occurs most commonly.

2. Isotope 1 = 9.67%, mass no: 38

Isotope 2 = 78.68%, mass no: 39

Isotope 3 = 11.34%, mass no: 40

Isotope 4 = 0.31%, mass no: 41

To find the average atomic mass of element X, we multiply each isotopes' relative abundance by its mass no and find the sum as follows:

We convert each percentage to decimal abundance:

Isotope 1 = 9.67% = 0.0967

Isotope 2 = 78.68% = 0.7868

Isotope 3 = 11.34% = 0.1134

Isotope 4 = 0.31% = 0.0031

(0.0967 × 38) + (0.7868 × 39) + (0.1134 × 40) + (0.0031 × 41)

3.6746 + 30.6852 + 4.536 + 0.1271

Average atomic mass = 39.02amu

Explanation:

Fluorine is a member of group 7 elements on the periodic table called HALOGENS. Just like other members of its group like chlorine, iodine etc., fluorine is a nonmetallic element. Fluorine is regarded as the most reactive element on the periodic table because of its affinity to accept electrons i.e. most electronegative element.

According to this question, fluorine is an highly reactive nonmetal based on its location on the periodic table.

When naming acids such as HCl, HBr, and HI, the prefix "hydro-" is added and the "ine" of the element is replaced with which of the following suffixes before the word "acid" is added?
Select one:
a. "-ic"
b. "-ate"
c. "-ite"
d. "-ide"

Answers

Answer:

a. "-ic"

Explanation:

The correct answer is a. "-ic".

For example:

For HCl, the name is Hydrochloric acid. As you can see, the suffix "-ine" of the element (originally chlorine) is changed to "-ic".

Following the same logic, the name for HBr is Hydrobromic acid; and the name for HI is Hydroiodic acid.

the sum of two numbers is 54 one exceed the other by 14 find the number​

Answers

Answer:

x=34

y=20

Explanation:

let the first number be 'x'

let the second number be 'y'

Equation 1:-

x + y = 54

Equation 2:-

x = y + 14  (Since one exceeds the other by 14)

Substituting Equation 2 in Equation 1:-

(y + 14) + y = 54

=> y + 14 + y = 54

=> 2y + 14 = 54

=> 2y = 54 - 14

=> 2y = 40

=> y = 40/2

=> y = 20

Now in Equation 1:-

x + y = 54

Substituting y=20,

x + 20 = 54

x = 54 - 20

x = 34

(b) State three physical properties of covalent compounds.[3 marks]

Answers

Answer; a) Covalent compound are formed when atoms of different molecules share electrons in order to be stable either by losing or gaining electrons

eg.. HCL hydrogen chloride , a chlorine atom has 7 electrons on its outer shell and hydrogen has 1 so when this two pair they become covalently bonded. chlorine shares one electron with the hydrogen atom ,thus to say both now have a stable arrangement of electron in their outer shell.

methane CH4 the carbon atom has 4 electrons and hydrogen has 1 so carbon would need 4 more and hydrogen would need 1 more so carbon pairs with 4 hydrogen atoms making it 8 and hydrogen 2 so they now have a stable arrangement ,thus the carbon atom shares with 4 hydrogen atoms.

b) some physical properties are

i)they have low melting and boiling points

ii)their insolubility in water

iii) they are non conductors of electricity

c) an experiment using their melting and boiling point

EXPERIMENT; lets use the covalent molecule carbon monoxide CO

when you apply heat and it tend to melt at a -199 degree celsius then it is a covalent molecule

and when it starts to boil at -191 degree celsuis then its sure a carbon monoxide covalent molecule

explanation; the reason for its low melting point and boiling point is because the attraction between the molecule is very low so it doesn't need much energy to break up the lattice between them.
