Ionic Equilibrium

Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibri…

Arrhenius Acid

Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.

Create a diagram to trace the development of the modern periodic table based on the observations on the properties of the elements? 3. Is the periodic table useful to you as a student? Justify your answer. 2. If you were to create a simple product using metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, what would your product be like? Sketch the design and composition of your product. Then, briefly explain what properties of each material are utilized in each part of the product. 4.

Predict the compound formed between a cesium atom and a sulfur atom. Write it's formula. Classify the compound as ionic, acid, or molecular. Explain, with specific details, how you arrived at the formula. Be brief and relevant.

Establishing the relative reactivity of metals requires a comparison of their relative tendency to either gain or lose electrons. Which of the following does not accurately describe the phenomena you observed in order to determine these tendencies? O When a more reactive metal is placed in a solution of a less reactive metal cation, the more reactive metal dissolves and donates its electrons to the cation of the less reactive metal. O The relative reactivity of Group IA metals increases as you go down a group on the periodic table because as you proceed down the group, the metal is more easily oxidized. O A less reactive metal cation gains electrons when placed into a solution with a more reactive metal, converting the metal cation to a solid. When copper metal is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, the copper metal disappears, shiny flakes appear, and the solution turns blue. O A more reactive metal gains electrons when placed into a solution with a less metal, converting the…
