Gifblaar is a small South African shrub and one of the most poisonous plants known because it contains fluoroacetic acid (FCH2CO

OH), which has a pKa of 2.59. Calculate the concentration of fluoroacetic acid in a solution that has the same pH as a 0.00770 M solution of HCl

[H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

The equilibrium equation representing the dissociation of FCH_{2}COOH

FCH_{2}COOH(aq) + H_{2}O (l)    FCH_{2}COO^{-}(aq)+ H_{3}O^{+}(aq)

Given [H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

Let the initial concentration of acid be x and change y

So y = [H_{3}O^{+}] =[FCH_{2}COO^{-}] = 0.00770 M

pK_{a} = 2.59K_{a} = 10^{-2.59}   = 0.00257 M

K_{a} = \frac{(0.00770 M)(0.00770 M)}{x - 0.00770}

0.00257 = \frac{0.00005929}{x - 0.00770}

0.00257 x - 0.00001979 = 0.00005929

x = 0.031 M

Therefore, initial concentration of the weak acid is <u>0.031 M</u>

Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?
baherus [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.

2. What is the mass of a car with a momentum of 10,000.00 kgm/s, traveling at 15.0 m/s?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

666.67 kg is the mass of a car.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as amount of motion possessed by the the moving body. It is mathematically calculated by multiplying mass into velocity by which object is moving.

Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times Velocity(v)

Mass of the car = m =?

Velocity of the car = v = 15.0 m/s

Momentum of the car = P = 10,000.00 kgm/s

m=\frac{P}{v}

m=\frac{ 10,000.00 kgm/s}{15.0 m/s}=666.67 kg

666.67 kg is the mass of a car.

How do you work out question 1a?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

-125 kJ

Explanation:

You calculate the energy required to break all the bonds in the reactants. Then you subtract the energy to break all the bonds in the products.

                     H₂C=CH₂   +    H₂ ⟶    H₃C-CH₃

Bonds:       4C-H + 1C=C     1H-H     6C-H + 1C-C

D/kJ·mol⁻¹:  413       612        436       413      347

The formula relating ΔHrxn and bond dissociation energies (D) is

ΔHrxn = Σ(Dreactants) – Σ(Dproducts)

(Note: This is an exception to the rule. All other thermochemical reactions are “products – reactants”. With bond energies, it’s “reactants – products”. The reason comes from the way we define bond energies.)

<em>For the reactant</em>s:

Σ(Dreactants) = 4 × 413 + 1 × 612 + 1 × 436 = 2700 kJ

<em>For the products:</em>

Σ(Dproducts) = 6 × 413 + 1 × 347 = 2825 kJ

<em>For the system</em> :

ΔHrxn = 2700 - 2825 = -125 kJ
