Various samples of the must be combusted in other to obtain a reliable result.

<h3>What is a bomb calorimeter?</h3>

The bomb calorimeter is used to obtain the energy of a sample. This is called the energy equivalent or the energy value of the sample.

Now, we know that the bomb calorimeter is calibrated by the use of benzoic acid hence it must be combusted first to obtain the basic energy value of the calorimeter.

Various samples of the must be combusted in other to obtain a reliable result.

Calculate the ph of a 0.60 m h2so3, solution that has the stepwise dissociation constants ka1 = 1.5 × 10-2 and 1.82 1.06 1.02 2.
Vsevolod [243]
Missing in your question Ka2 =6.3x10^-8
From this reaction:
 H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+  + HSO3-
by using the ICE table :
                H2SO3     ↔    H3O     +    HSO3- 
intial         0.6                     0                  0
change     -X                      +X                +X
Equ         (0.6-X)                  X                   X

when Ka1 = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
So by substitution:
1.5X10^-2 = (X*X) / (0.6-X) by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.088
∴[H2SO3] = 0.6 - 0.088 = 0.512
[HSO3-] = [H3O+] = 0.088

by using the ICE table 2:
                 HSO3-     ↔   H3O     +     SO3-
initial        0.088              0.088              0
change    -X                      +X                   +X
Equ         (0.088-X)          (0.088+X)          X

Ka2= [H3O+] [SO3-] / [HSO3-]
we can assume [HSO3-] =  0.088 as the value of Ka2 is very small
 6.3x10^-8 = (0.088+X)*X / 0.088
X^2 +0.088 X - 5.5x10^-9= 0 by solving this equation for X
∴X= 6.3x10^-8
∴[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.3x10^-8
               = 0.088 m ( because X is so small)
∴PH= -㏒[H3O+]
       = -㏒ 0.088 = 1.06
