A) What assumptions are made about ideal gases. B) if 14g of an ideal gas is added to a 4 dm3 container at 210Kpa pressure and a temperature of 40oc how many moles were added and suggest the identity of the gas.

The two main assumptions that are made about ideal gases are: firstly, that the volume of the gas particles themselves is negligible or zero. So, the entire volume of the container is available. Secondly ...

In order to find the [H+] ion content of H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid), why must you divide by two after using the formula for pH calculation?

This is because H2S04 is a diprotic acid. If we look at how the acid dissiociates, we can see that:

H₂SO₄----------> 2H⁺+SO₄^2-

Since...

What are 3 characteristics of Benzene that go against the proposed Kekule model?

The Kekule model states Benzene consists of 3 pairs of alternating double C=C and single C-C bonds. A typical C=C bond would readily react with bromine to produce a dibromo-alkane and therefore would reac...

Draw the structure, name the shape and show bond angles of the molecules XeF4 and SbF4-. In your answer explain why each structure is different, despite both having a central atom, surrounded by 4 fluorine atoms.

Xe is in group 8, the noble gases. Therefore it has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Fluorine atoms have 7 electrons, yet one is an unpaired electron, so this is the electron in fluorine that gets involved...
