The weak acid will have fewer ions than the strong acid of similar concentration.

The chemical reactions for a weak acid and a strong acid is given below:

Strong acid: HA → H⁺ + A⁻
Weak acid: HA ⇆ H⁺ + A⁻

<h3>What are strong and weak acids?</h3>

Strong acids are acids which dissociate completely in solutions. Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

Weak acids are acids which dissociate only partially in solutions. Examples of weak acids are carbonic acid and acetic acid.

Weak acids of a similar concentration to a strong acid have fewer hydrogen ions.

The equation of the dissociation of strong acids and weak acids are given below:

Strong acid: HA → H⁺ + A⁻
Weak acid: HA ⇆ H⁺ + A⁻

In conclusion, weak acids produce few ions in solution while strong acids fully dissociate into ions in solution.

In general, what makes one kind of amino acid different from other amino acids?

Vinvika [58]

There is part of an amino acid molecule that is called the R group or side chain. The side chain of the amino acid called glycine is a single hydrogen atom. The side chain is what differs from amino acid to amino acid.

Suppose 550.mmol of electrons must be transported from one side of an electrochemical cell to another in 49.0 minutes. Calculate

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

18.0 Ampere is the size of electric current that must flow.

Explanation:

Moles of electron , n = 550 mmol = 0.550 mol

1 mmol = 0.001 mol

Number of electrons = N

$N=N_A\times n$

Charge on N electrons : Q

$Q = N\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

Duration of time charge allowed to pass = T = 49.0 min = 49.0 × 60 seconds

1 min = 60 seconds

Size of current : I

$I=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{N\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}$

$=\frac{n\times N_A\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}$

$I=\frac{0.550 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}=18.047 A\approx 18.0 A$

18.0 Ampere is the size of electric current that must flow.

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

notsponge [240]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ in the cell is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V$

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)$ $E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.
