Answer:
- pKa = 7.46
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO
b) [HClO} = 0.015
c) pH = 4.64
d) pKa = ?
<u>2) Strategy:</u>
With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.
<u>3) Solution:</u>
a) pH
- pH = - log [H₃O⁺]
- 4.64 = - log [H₃O⁺]
b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)
c) Equilibrium constant: Ka = [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]
d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M
e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M
f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46
Answer:
Explanation:
The half-life of Na-24 (15 h) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
No. of Fraction Mass
<u>half-lives t/da Remaining Remaining/g </u>
0 0 1 18
1 15 ½ 9.0
2 30 ¼ 4.5
3 45 ⅛ 2.2
4 60 ⅟₁₆ 1.1
5 75 ⅟₃₂ 0.56
6 90 ⅟₆₄ 0.28
We see that remain after five half-lives (75 h).
