Get started for freeWhile selenic acid has the formula \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SeO}_{4}\) and thus is directly related to sulfuric acid, telluric acid is best visualized as \(\mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{TeO}_{6}\) or \(\mathrm{Te}(\mathrm{OH})_{6}\) a. What is the oxidation state of tellurium in \(\operatorname{Te}(\mathrm{OH})_{6} ?\) b. Despite its structural differences with sulfuric and selenic acid, telluric acid is a diprotic acid with \(\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}_{1}}=7.68\) and \(\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}_{2}}=11.29 .\) Telluric acid can be prepared by hydrolysis of tellurium hexafluoride according to the equation $$\operatorname{TeF}_{6}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow\operatorname{Te}(\mathrm{OH})_{6}(a q)+6 \mathrm{HF}(a q)$$ Tellurium hexafluoride can be prepared by the reaction of elemental tellurium with fluorine gas:$$\operatorname{Te}(s)+3 \mathrm{F}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \operatorname{Te} \mathrm{F}_{6}(g)$$.If a cubic block of tellurium (density \(=6.240 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) ) measuring \(0.545 \mathrm{cm}\) on edge is allowed to react with 2.34 L fluorine gas at 1.06 atm and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), what is the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a solution of \(\mathrm{Te}(\mathrm{OH})_{6}\) formed by dissolving the isolated \(\operatorname{Te} \mathrm{F}_{6}(g)\) in \(115 \mathrm{mL}\) solution? Assume \(100 \%\) yield in all reactions.

What is the molecular structure for each of the following molecules or ions? a. \(\mathrm{OCl}_{2}\) b. \(\mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-}\) c. ICls d. \(\mathrm{PF}_{6}^{-}\)
Although the earth was formed from the same interstellar material as the sun, there is little elemental hydrogen \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\right)\) in the earth's atmosphere. Explain.
