Xylene moles =\frac{17.12}{106.16×1000}=0.00016moles=

106.16×1000

17.12

=0.00016moles

Moles of CO_2 =\frac{56.77}{44.01×1000}=0.0013CO

44.01×1000

56.77

=0.0013

Moles of H_2O= =\frac{14.53}{18.02×1000}=0.0008H

O==

18.02×1000

14.53

=0.0008

Moles ratios

\frac{0.0013}{0.0008}=1.625

0.0008

0.0013

=1.625

\frac{0.0008}{0.0008}=1

0.0008

A container is filled with a mixture of gases:

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The pressure of Cl2 is 1, 55 atm.

Explanation:

The sum of the partial pressures of the gases that make up a gaseous mixture is equal to the total pressure of said mixture, according to Dalton's law:

P total = P02 + P N2 + P Cl2

P Cl2= P total - P02 - P N2=3,30 atm-1,0 atm -0,75 atm=<em>1,55 atm</em>

The following is a list of weak acids and their Ka values.HOCl hypochlorous acid 3.5 x 10^-8H2S hydrogen sulfide 1.1 x 10^-7HCN

notsponge [240]

Answer:

(a) HNO₂ nitrous acid 4.5 x 10^-4 is strong acid

(b) Ka expression $Ka = \frac{[H^{+}][NO_{2} ^{-}] }{[HNO_{2}] }$

(c) List of Conjugate Bases

OCl⁻, S²⁻, CN⁻, NO₂⁻

(d) cyanide ion is strongest conjugate base.

(e) pH and pOH of Hypochlorous acid = 4.22 & 9.77

pH and pOH of hydrogen sulfide = 4 & 10

pH and pOH of hydrocyanic acid = 5.2 & 8.79

pH and pOH of nitrous acid = 2.17 & 11.8

Explanation:

(a) Ka and acidity are directly proportional to each other

hence nitrous acid is the strongest acid since it has highest Ka value.

(b) Ka expression of nitrous acid

HNO₂ → H⁺ + NO₂⁻

⇒ $Ka = \frac{[H^{+}][NO_{2} ^{-}] }{[HNO_{2}] }$

H₂S hydrogen sulfide = S²⁻(sulphide ion)

HCN hydrocyanic acid = CN⁻(cyanide ion)

HNO₂ nitrous acid = NO₂⁻(nitrite ion)

<u>(d) We know according to Bronsted acid base concept Weak acid have strongest conjugate base</u>

according to this hydrocyanic acid is weak acid so the corresponding conjugate base i.e. cyanide ion is strongest conjugate base.
