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

What is the half-life of 20 g of a radioactive sample if 5 g remain after 8 minutes?
Anni [7]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 20 g

m (final mass after time T) = 5 g

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = ? (in minutes)

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 8 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

m =  \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}

5 =  \dfrac{20}{2^x}

2^x = \dfrac{20}{5}

2^x = 4

2^x = 2^2

\boxed{x = 2}


Now, let's find the half-life (P) of the radioactive sample, let's see:

T = x*P

8 = 2*P

2\:P = 8

P = \dfrac{8}{2}

\boxed{\boxed{P = 4\:minutes}}\Longleftarrow(Half-Life)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

23.It is possible to dilute a solution by...Select one:a. adding more solute to the solution.b. adding more solvent to the solut
joja [24]

To dilute a solute in a solution, it is necessary to add a proper solvent for the reaction to occur, and adding more solvent will cause the solution to dilute even more, therefore the best answer will be letter B
