If the pH of a weak acid solution is 2.500 and the solution has a concentration of 0.100M, what is the Ka of the weak acid HA?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Kₐ of the weak acid is 1.033×10⁻⁴

Explanation:

The dissociation of a weak acid in aqueous solution is limited to about 5 to 10%

The acid dissociation reaction is given as follows;

HA (aq) + H₂O (l) → H₃O⁺(aq) + A⁻ (aq)

Given that the pH = 2.5, we have

pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺] = 2.5

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10^(-2.5) = 0.0031623

[tex]K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^+][A^-]}{[HA]}[/tex]

Kₐ = [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA] = (0.0031623^2)/(0.1 - 0.0031623) = 1.033×10⁻⁴

The acid dissociation constant, Kₐ for weak acid is very low as obtained

Place the following substances in order of decreasing vapor pressure at a given temperature: BeF2, CH3OH, OF2?
(a) OF2 > BeF2 > CH3OH
(b) BeF2 > OF2 > CH3OH
(c) BeF2 > CH3OH > OF2
(d) CH3OH > OF2 > BeF2
(e) OF2 > CH3OH > BeF2

Answers

Answer:

(b) BeF2 > OF2 > CH3OH

Explanation:

The degree and type of intermolecular forces present in a substance influences its vapour pressure considerably. The greater the magnitude and strength of intermolecular forces in the substance, the lower the vapour pressure of the substance.

BeF2 molecules are held together by weak vanderwaals forces hence BeF2 will exhibit the least degree of intermolecular interaction and have the highest vapour pressure. OF2 molecules are bound together by dipole interactions hence it will exhibit a lower vapour pressure compared to BeF2. CH3OH molecules form hydrogen bonds with water molecules hence it will exhibit the least vapour pressure among the trio.

6. A diamond contains 5.0 ×10^21 atoms of carbon. What amount(moles) of carbon and what mass (grams) of carbon are in this diamond? *
a. 0.008303 and 0.0997
b. 0.008303g and 0.0997mol
c. 0.008303amu and 0.0997
d. 0.008303 and 0.0997amu

Answers

Answer:

0.008303 mol and 0.0997 g

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

This implies that 1 mole of carbon also contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

Next, we shall determine the mole of carbon that contains 5.0×10²¹ atoms. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of carbon contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, Xmol of carbon will contain 5.0×10²¹ atoms i.e

Xmol of carbon = 5.0×10²¹ / 6.022×10²³

Xmol of carbon = 0.008303 mole

Therefore, 0.008303 mole of carbon contains 5.0×10²¹ atoms.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of carbon. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of carbon = 0.008303 mole

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Mass of Carbon =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.008303 = mass of carbon/12.01

Cross multiply

Mass of Carbon = 0.008303 x 12.01

Mass of Carbon = 0.0997 g.

Why does anhydrous aluminium chloride have lower melting point than anhydrous aluminium fluoride?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Molecule of aluminium fluoride is more polar than molecule of aluminium chloride . It is so because fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine . On Pauling scale , the electronegativity of fluorine is 3.98 whereas that of chlorine is 3.16 . Hence in aluminium fluoride , there is stronger inter molecular bonding because of  more polar nature of molecules .  In aluminium chloride  , there is weaker  inter molecular bonding because of  comparatively  polar nature of molecules . Hence melting point of anhydrous aluminium fluoride is higher than that of anhydrous aluminium chloride .

Consider a gas in a container that can adjust its volume to maintain constant pressure. Suppose the gas is cooled. What happens to the gas particles with the decrease in temperature? What happens to the volume of the container?

Answers

Answer:

The volume will also decrease.

Explanation:

This illustration clearly indicates Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. Mathematically, it is represented as:

V & T

V = KT

K = V/T

V1/T1 = V2/T2 =... = Vn/Tn

Where:

T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperature respectively, measured in Kelvin.

V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume of the gas respectively.

From the illustration above, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume also will decrease.

Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. 9. Calculate the chemical potential of your cell. Show all of your work.

Answers

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

You haven't shown your drawing, so I will assume that Metal A is the anode and Metal B is the cathode.

I will make a galvanic cell using Mg and Zn as the metals.

I selected Zn because it is common and readily available in the lab.

Zn is lower than Mg in the activity series, so Mg should be able to displace Zn from its salts

The standard reduction potentials are:

                                         E°/V

Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Zn(s);  -0.76

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Mg(s); -2.38

The Mg half-reaction has the more negative potential, so it will be the oxidation half-reaction.

8 and 9. Oxidation and reduction half-reactions and cell potential

                                                                                   E°/V

Oxidation:  Mg(s) ⇌ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ;                      +2.38

Reduction: Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Zn(s);                         -0.76

                   Mg(s) + Zn²⁺ (aq)  ⇌ Mg²⁺(aq) + Zn(s);  +1.62

The cell potential is positive, so the reaction will be spontaneous.

Mg is the anode, so it is Metal A.

Zn is the cathode, so it is Metal B.

1. The Mg|Mg²⁺ half-cell is the oxidation compartment.

2. The Zn²⁺|Zn half-cell is the reduction compartment.

3. The electrons flow from anode to cathode in the external circuit.

4. The Mg²⁺ ions flow from the Mg through the solution to the salt bridge.

5. The Zn²⁺ ions flow from the solution to the Zn.

6. NO₃⁻ ions flow from the salt bridge into the anode compartment to balance the charge of the developing Zn²⁺ ions.

7. Na⁺ ions flow from the salt bridge into the cathode compartment to replace the charge of the depleted Zn²⁺ ions.

When N2gas is passed through water at 293k.how many moles of N2 dissolve in 1litre water

Answers

Answer: 7 milimoles of [tex]N_2[/tex] dissolve in 1 litre water.

Explanation:

Given:  [tex]N_2[/tex] gas is passed through water at 293K.

Assumption :[tex]N_2[/tex] exerts a partial pressure of 0.987 bar.

Take : Henry's constant [tex]p_N_2[/tex] = 76.8 Kbar

[tex]K_H=76800[/tex]

To find : Number of moles of  [tex]N_2[/tex] gas dissolve in 1 litre water.

According to Henry's law,

[tex]p_N_2=K_HX_{N_2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 0.987=76800X_{N_2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ X_{N_2}=\dfrac{0.987}{76800}=0.0000128515625\approx1.29\times10^{-5}[/tex]

moles in 1 liter  of water = [tex]\dfrac{1000}{18}=55.56\ [\text{Molar mass of }H_2O=18\ g][/tex]

Let n= moles of nitrogen

Total moles = 55.56+n

So,

[tex]X_{N_2}=\dfrac{n}{55.56+n}=1.29\times10^{-5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 55.56\times1.29\times10^{-5}+1.29\times10^5n=n\\\\\Rightarrow\ n- 1.29\times10^5n=0.000714033\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.999987n=0.000714033\\\\\Rightarrow\ n\approx7\text{ milimoles}[/tex]

Hence, 7 milimoles of [tex]N_2[/tex] dissolve in 1 litre water.

What is the rate of a reaction?

The rate at which the concentration of reactant or product participating in a chemical reaction alters is called the rate of reaction.

Rate of reaction = [tex]\frac{change \;in \;concentration}{time}[/tex] =  (mol/litre)/time.

m= 1 and n = 2

[tex]rate = K [A] [B]^2[/tex]

[tex]0.2 = K X 3 X 3 ^2[/tex]

K =   [tex]\frac{0.2 }{27 }[/tex]

K =   [tex]7.408 \;X 10 ^ {-3} m^{-2} s^{-1}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]7.408 \;X 10 ^ {-3} m^{-2} s^{-1}[/tex]  is rate of a reaction when k = 0.2, [A] = 3 M, [B] = 3 M, m = 1, n = 2 .

Which of the following has the smallest radius ? A. Br B. I C. I- D. Br-

Answers

Answer:

A. Br

Explanation:

Atomic radius increases down the group. As the increase in the attractive force of the nucleus increases owing to increase in the size of its positive charges, extra electrons are added to the shells to more than counterbalance this effect down the group hence the atomic radius becomes larger. Iodine has a larger atomic radius than bromine.

Secondly, the ionic radius of a negative ion is greater than its corresponding atomic radius since a negative ion is formed by adding a negative charge (electron) to the atom thus making it bigger. Hence the radius of I^- is greater than that of Br^-.

This means that Br atom must possess the smallest radius among the options listed.

A large scuba tank with a volume of 18 L is rated for a pressure of 220 bar. The tank is filled at 20 °C and contains enough air to supply 1860 L of air to a diver at a pressure of 2.37 atm (a depth of 45 feet). Was the tank filled to capacity at 20 °C?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, at 20 °C the tank was filled to full capacity

Explanation:

Given;

let initial pressure, P₁ = 2.37 atm

let initial volume, V₁ = 1860 L

let final pressure, P₂ = 220 bar = 217.123 atm

let final volume, V₂ = ?

Subject the air volume (1860 L )  at 2.37 atm to the tank rating (220 bar)

Ideal law is given by;

PV = nRT

At a fixed mole and gas temperature, the equation becomes;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = (P₁V₁) / P₂

V₂ = (2.37 x 1860) / 217.123

V₂ = 20.3 L

After subjecting the air volume to tank rating, the volume of the air at 220 bar is 20.3 L which is greater than tank volume (18 L).

The extra 2.3 L can be assumed to be compressed gas volume due to the given (lower) temperature.

Thus, at 20 °C the tank was filled to full capacity.
