1. Give an explanation for the decreasing acidity for HI > HBr > HCl a) because the molar mass of the compounds decreases in that order (True or False) b) because the electronegativity of the halogens increases in that order (True or False) c) because the hydrogen-halogen bond strength increases in that order (True or False)
You will not find “hydroxide” in the stockroom, but you will find sodium hydroxide (NaOH) andpotassium hydroxide (KOH). Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is expensive and used in spacecraft airfilters since hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide, and lithium is lighter than sodium or potassium.Cesium and francium hydroxides are very expensive and little used. Is this information consistentwith your answer to the previous question?

Draw the attraction between a water molecule and a molecule of PH3 First, draw one molecule and add the partial charges where needed - use the ΔEN to determine the types of bonds. Then, draw the second molecule so that the δ+ on one molecule lines up across from the δ- on the other. Since we can't draw the molecules here you will answer questions about the drawings that you made on the homework worksheet. PH3 has _________ bonds with a ΔEN = ____________ . PH3 has 4 REDs and is symmetrical/asymmetrical (answer is _________ ) but it is a polar/nonpolar (answer is ___________ ) molecule. Each H has a __________ charge and the P has a __________ charge.

How do you explain the pattern/trend in the distance between the anion of an acid and H3O+? The acid strength is HCl > HNO3 > HF > HOCl, but I don't understand why the lengths vary like this. Or does it have to do with electronegativity? If it does have to do with electronegativity, why doesn't HF have the shortest length? Or is it because OCl- is more elctronegatvie than F-? Also, does an acid's strength decrease/increase with increasing electronegativity of its conjugate base? When looking at the trend, HI is stronger than HBr, which is stronger than HCl. However, HClO4 is stronger than all of these acids, which I don't understand why.
