Answer to Question #89536 in Inorganic Chemistry for Dinesh




 Why SnCl2 dissolves in HCl but not in ammonia .
Tin(II) chloride can dissolve in less than its own mass of water without apparent decomposition, but as the solution is diluted, hydrolysis occurs to form an insoluble basic salt:

 

Therefore, if clear solutions of tin(II) chloride are to be used, it must be dissolved in hydrochloric acid (typically of the same or greater molarity as the stannous chloride) to maintain the equilibrium towards the left-hand side (using Le Chatelier's principle).

reno, please don't answer organic chemistry questions if you don't know the subject matter.
 
mixing acetic acid with sodium bicarbonate doesn't yield "gaseous water." also, you didn't actually answer the question and decided instead to list the first thing you found in wikipedia about a dangerous reaction that has nothing to do with the fact that acetic acid and hcl react the same way because they are both stronger acids than the conjugate acid of bicarbonate. reasonexplanation:the word 'reason' cannot be formed from 'concentrate' due to the absence of the letter 's'. a) he helium (he) is an element by itself. he atom can only exhibit dispersion forces.b) hclh          1a                   1 × 1 e– = 1 e–cl         7a                   1 × 7 e– = 7 e–   total: 8 valence e–[readmore]cl is more electronegative than h, so hcl is a polar covalent compound. hcl exhibits dipole-dipole interaction.c) h2oh          1a                   1 × 2 e– = 2 e–o          6a                   1 × 6 e– = 6 e–   total: 8 valence e– since hydrogen is bonded directly to oxygen.h2o exhibits hydrogen bonding.d) cl2cl         7a                   1 × 7 e– = 14 valence e–composed of the same atom. there's no electronegativity difference.cl2 can only exhibit dispersion forces. we are being asked to classify the following reactions based on the following categories:combination/synthesis → multiple reactants combine to form a single productw/o change in oxidation numbersa + b → abdecomposition →reactant splits into multiple products with no change in oxidation numbersab → a + bcombustion reaction: reaction with oxygen that produces carbon dioxide and waterhydrocarbon + o2 → co2 + h2osingle displacement →single element displaces another element in a compoundab + c → ac + b[readmore]let’s analyze the given reactionsa. fe2(co3)2 (s) → fe2o3(s) + 2co2(g) break down of fe2(co3)2(s) to its component ions → decomposition reactionanswer: this is a decomposition reaction.b. 2 c6h11oh(l) + 17 o2(g) → 12co2 (g) + 12h2o(l) reaction with oxygen that produces carbon dioxide and water → combustion reactionanswer: this is a combustion reaction.c. p4o10(s) + 6h2o(l) → 4h3po4(aq) two or more substances combine to form a single compound → combination reactionanswer: this is a combination reaction.d. 2c(s) + mno2(s) → mn(s) + 2co(g) substitute one element for another element in a compound →single-displacement reaction answer: this is a single-displacement reactione. 2naclo3 (s) → 2nacl(s) + 3o2(g)break down of compound into its simpler substances → decomposition reactionanswer: this is a decomposition reaction NaBr

Mg3N2 recall that there are several types of intermolecular forces:1. ion-dipole interaction – occurs between an ion and a polar covalent compound2. hydrogen bonding – occurs in compounds where hydrogen is directly connected to an electronegative element such as n, o, or f3. dipole-dipole interaction – occurs between two polar covalent compounds4. induced-dipole interaction – occurs when a nonpolar compound interacts with a polar compound5. dispersion forces – occurs in all compounds. this is the primary intermolecular force exhibited by nonpolar compounds.[readmore]although hcl is a polar molecule, it still exhibits dispersion forces because it occurs in all compounds there are 3 types of hybridisation for carbon in organic compounds, sp, sp2 and sp3 depending on the number of sigma and pi bonds between the carbon atoms. more the ‘s’ character more is the electronegativity of the carbon as ‘s’ orbitals are closer to the nucleus, hence electrons held more closely. a) 3ag + 4hn03 > 3agno3 + no + 2h2o

b) mno2 + 4hcl > 2h2o + mncl2 + cl2 sr2+ → strontium cl- → chloride[readmore]therefore the chemical name will appear as strontium chloride ch3nh2 will appear as a stronger base since n for (ch3)2nh has bulkier substituents that will block n from accepting extra h (bl base = proton acceptor)[readmore]since ch3nh2  is the stronger base than (ch3)2nh, its c.acid will be weaker compared to (ch3)2nhstronger base → ch3nh2 stronger c.acid → (ch3)2nh3+
