Answer:
Al^3+
Explanation:
Solubility rules tell us what substances are soluble in water. Since NaCl was added and no precipitate was observed, the mercury II ion is absent.
Addition of Na2SO4 does not form a precipitate meaning that Ba^2+ is absent.
If a precipitate is formed when NaOH is added, the the ionic reaction is as follows;
Al^3+(aq) + 3 OH^-(aq) ------> Al(OH)3(s)

Answer:
[tex]Pb^{2+}(aq)+Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary for us to write the complete molecular equation as shown below:
[tex]Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)[/tex]
Now, we can separate the nitrates in ions as they are aqueous to obtain:
[tex]Pb^{2+}(aq)+2(NO_3)^-(aq)+Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+2(NO_3)^-(aq)+Pb(s)[/tex]
And then, we cancel out the nitrate ions as the spectator ones, for us to obtain the net ionic equation:
[tex]Pb^{2+}(aq)+Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)[/tex]

You will observe a weak acid-strong base titration in this experiment. Select all statements that are true about weak acid-strong base titrations.
A. Weak acid-strong base titrations always start at a higher pH than strong acid-strong base titrations, no matter the initial concentration.
B. The pH is less than 7 at the equivalence point.
C. The pH is greater than 7 at the equivalence point.
D. Half way to the equivalence point, a buffer region is observed.
Answer:
The pH is greater than 7 at the equivalence point.
Explanation:
Equivalence point is the point where the acid reacts with the base as stipulated in the equation of the reaction.
When a weak acid and a strong base are titrated, the pH of the solution at equivalence point is actually found to be around about pH ~ 9.
Hence, for a weak acid and strong base titration, The pH is greater than 7 at the equivalence point.
A titration between a weak acid and a strong base yields a solution whose pH is greater than 7 at the equivalence point.
What are weak acids?Weak acids are acids which only ionize partially in aqueous solutions.
When weak acids are dissolved in water, they produce only few hydrogen ions.
A strong base on the other hand ionizes completely to produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions.
The titration of a weak acid and a strong base gives a solution whose pH is greater than 7 at equivalence point.

Answer:
[tex]d=4.24x10^{-4}\frac{lb}{in^3}[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary for us to set the equation for the calculation of density and mass divided by volume:
[tex]d=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
Thus, we can find the mass of the unknown by subtracting the total mass of the liquid to the mass of the flask and the liquid:
[tex]m=552.4g-464.7g=87.7g[/tex]
So that we are now able to calculate the density in g/mL first:
[tex]d=\frac{87.7g}{27.8mL}=3.15g/mL[/tex]
Now, we proceed to the conversion to lb/in³ by using the following setup:
[tex]d=3.15\frac{g}{mL}*\frac{1lb}{453.6g}*\frac{1in^3}{16.3871mL}\\\\d=4.24x10^{-4}\frac{lb}{in^3}[/tex]

why beta carbon hydrogen is easily replaceable but not alpha carbon hydrogen
Answer:
Four common types of reactions involving carbonyl reactions: 1) nucleophilic addition; 2) nucleophilic acyl substitution; 3) alpha substitution; 4) carbonyl condensations. The first two were previously discussed and the second two involve the properties of the carbon directly adjacent to the carbonyls, α carbons.
Alpha-substitution reactions results in the replacement of an H attached to the alpha carbon with an electrophile.
The nucleophile in these reactions are new and called enols and enolates.
Explanation:
The carbon in the carbonyl is the reference point and the alpha carbon is adjacent to the carbonyl carbon.
Hydrogen atoms attached the these carbons denoted with Greek letters will have the same designation, so an alpha hydrogen is attached to an alpha carbon.
Aldehyde hydrogens not given Greek leters.
α hydrogens display unusual acidity, due to the resonance stabilization of the carbanion conjugate base, called an enolate.
Tautomers are readily interconverted constitutional isomers, usually distinguished by a different location for an atom or a group, which is different than resonance.
The tautomerization in this chapter focuses on the carbonyl group with alpha hydrogen, which undergo keto-enol tautomerism.
Keto refers to the tautomer containing the carbonyl while enol implies a double bond and a hydroxyl group present in the tautomer.
The keto-enol tautomerization equilibrium is dependent on stabilization factors of both the keto tautomer and the enol tautomer, though the keto form is typically favored for simple carbonyl compounds.
The 1,3 arrangement of two carbonyl groups can work synergistically to stabilize the enol tautomer, increasing the amount present at equilibrium.
The positioning of the carbonyl groups in the 1,3 arrangement allows for the formation of a stabilizing intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of the enol and the carbonyl oxygen as well as the alkene group of the enol tautomer is also conjugated with the carbonyl double bond which provides additional stabilization.
Aromaticity can also stabilize the enol tautomer over the keto tautomer.
Under neutral conditions, the tautomerization is slow, but both acid and base catalysts can be utilized to speed the reaction up.
Biological enol forming reactions use isomerase enzymes to catalyze the shifting of a carbonyl group in sugar molecules, often converting between a ketose and an aldose in a process called carbonyl isomerization.

g A high altitude balloon is filled with 1.41 x 104 L of hydrogen gas (H2) at a temperature of 21oC and a pressure of 745 torr. What is the volume of the balloon at a height of 20 km, where the temperature is -48oC and the pressure is 63.1 torr
Answer:
1.27 × 10⁵ L
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Initial pressure (P₁): 745 TorrInitial volume (V₁): 1.41 × 10⁴ LInital temperature (T₁): 21 °CFinal pressure (P₂): 63.1 TorrFinal volume (V₂): ?Final temperature (T₂): -48 °CStep 2: Convert the temperatures to the Kelvin scale
We will use the following expression.
K = °C + 273.15
K = 21 °C + 273.15 = 294 K
K = -48 °C + 273.15 = 225 K
Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the balloon
We will use the combined gas law.
P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂
V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂/ T₁ × P₂
V₂ = 745 Torr × 1.41 × 10⁴ L × 225 K/ 294 K × 63.1 Torr
V₂ = 1.27 × 10⁵ L

A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 53 wt% B-47 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for both and phases. If the composition of the phase is 92 wt% B-8 wt% A, what is the composition of the phase
Answer:
the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Co = 53 or [ 53 wt% B-47 wt% A ]
W∝ = 0.5 = Wβ
Cβ = 92 or [ 92 wt% B-8 wt% A ]
Now, lets set up the Lever rule for W∝ as follows;
W∝ = [ Cβ - Co ] / [ Cβ - C∝ ]
so we substitute our given values into the expression;
0.5 = [ 92 - 53 ] / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5 = 39 / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5[ 92 - C∝ ] = 39
46 - 0.5C∝ = 39
0.5C∝ = 46 - 39
0.5C∝ = 7
C∝ = 7 / 0.5
C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Therefore, the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

A student prepares a aqueous solution of acetic acid . Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form in his solution. Express your answer as a percentage. You will probably find some useful data in the ALEKS Data resource.
Answer:
10.71%
Explanation:
The dissociation of acetic acid can be well expressed as follow:
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Let assume that the prepared amount of the aqueous solution is 14mM since it is not given:
Then:
The I.C.E Table is expressed as follows:
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Initial 0.0014 0 0
Change - x +x +x
Equilibrium (0.0014 - x) x x
Recall that:
Ka for acetic acid CH₃COOH = 1.8×10⁻⁵
∴
[tex]K_a = \dfrac{[x][x]]}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5} = \dfrac{[x][x]]}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5} = \dfrac{[x]^2}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5}(0.0014-x) = x^2[/tex]
[tex]2.52*10^{-8} -1.8*10^{-5}x = x^2[/tex]
[tex]2.52*10^{-8} -1.8*10^{-5}x - x^2 =0[/tex]
By rearrangement:
[tex]- x^2 -1.8*10^{-5}x +2.52*10^{-8}= 0[/tex]
Multiplying through by (-) and solving the quadratic equation:
[tex]x^2 +1.8*10^{-5}x-2.52*10^{-8}= 0[/tex]
[tex](-0.00015 + x) (0.000168 + x) =0[/tex]
x = 0.00015 or x = -0.000168
We will only consider the positive value;
so x=[CH₃COO⁻] = [H⁺] = 0.00015
CH₃COOH = (0.0014 - 0.00015) = 0.00125
However, the percentage fraction of the dissociated acetic acid is:
[tex]= \dfrac{ 0.00015}{0.0014}\times 100[/tex]
= 10.71%
How can a Bose-Einstein condensate be formed? A. B super-heating a gas. B. By super-cooling certain types of solid. C. By super-cooling certain types of plasma. D. By super-heating a plasma
Answer:
C. By super-cooling certain types of plasma.
Explanation:
Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter whereby atoms or particles become cooled to a very low energy state leading to their condensation to give a single quantum state.
Note that plasma refers to atoms that have had some or even all of its electrons stripped away leaving only positively charged ions. Simply put, plasma is ionized matter.
When certain types of plasma are super cooled, Bose-Einstein condensate are formed.
A uniform plastic block floats in water with 50.0 % of its volume above the surface of the water. The block is placed in a second liquid and floats with 23.0 % of its volume above the surface of the liquid.
What is the density of the second liquid?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
density of second liquid = 650 kg/m³
Explanation:
Given that:
The volume of the plastic block submerged inside the water = 0.5 V
The force on the plastic block = [tex]\rho_1V_1g[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
W [tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 0.5 \rho _1[/tex]
where;
water density [tex]\rho _1[/tex] = 1000
[tex]\rho = 0.5 (1000)[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 500 kg/m^3[/tex]
In the second liquid, the volume of plastic block in the water = (100-23)%
= 77% = 0.7 V
The force on the plastic block is:
[tex]= 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
[tex]W = 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.77 \rho_2 V_g \\ \\ \rho = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ 500 = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ \rho_2 = 500/0.77[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ \rho_2 \simeq 650 \ kg/m^3}[/tex]

For each of the following compounds, indicate the pH at which 50% of the compound will be in a form that possesses a charge and at which pH more than 99% of the compound will be in a form that possesses a charge.
ClCH2COOH (pKa = 2.86)
CH3CH2NH+3 (pKa = 10.7)
Express your answer using two decimal places
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Answer:
a. 2..86 b. 4.86 c. 10.7 d. 8.7
Explanation:
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 2.86
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.99x while the acidic concentration is remaining 1 % (1 - 0.99)x = 0.01x
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) = 0.99x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.01x.
pH = pKa + log0.99x/0.01x
pH = pKa + log0.99/0.01
pH = 2.86 + log99
pH = 2.86 + 1.996
pH = 4.856
pH ≅ 4.86
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 10.7
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.01x while the acidic concentration is remaining 99 % (1 - 0.01)x = 0.99x (which possesses the charge).
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base = 0.01x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.99x.
pH = pKa + log0.01x/0.99x
pH = pKa + log1/99
pH = 10.7 - log99
pH = 10.7 - 1.996
pH = 8.704
pH ≅ 8.7
