Answer:

decreased by a factor of 10

Explanation:

pH is defined in such a way that;

pH= −log10(H)

Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions

Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,

By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H

if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M

Therefore, 0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01

Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10

Does the model below represent a mixture or a substance ?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

substance

Explanation:

A mixture is when two or more different atoms/molecules are together, but not joined.

A substance is when the same atom/molecule is in a group together.

In this example, it is a substance because it is comprised of the same molecule not joined all together. If you wanted a mixture, other colored atoms/molecule (e.g. add green atoms) would change it to this property.

What is the % dissociation of a solution of acetic acid if at equilibrium the solution has a pH = 4.74 and a pKa = 4.74?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$\% diss = 50\%$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, when considering weak acids which have an associated percent dissociation, we first need to set up the ionization reaction and the equilibrium expression:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-\\\\Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$

Now, by introducing x as the reaction extent which also represents the concentration of both H+ and A-, we have:

$Ka=\frac{x^2}{[HA]_0-x} =10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}$

Thus, it is possible to find x given the pH as shown below:

$x=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}M$

So that we can calculate the initial concentration of the acid:

$\frac{(1.82x10^{-5})^2}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1.82x10^{-5}\\\\\frac{1.82x10^{-5}}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1\\\\$

$[HA]_0=3.64x10^{-5}M$

Therefore, the percent dissociation turns out to be:

$\% diss=\frac{x}{[HA]_0}*100\% \\\\\% diss=\frac{1.82x10^{-5}M}{3.64x10^{-5}M}*100\% \\\\\% diss = 50\%$

Best regards!

2. Consider the reaction 2 Cg H18 (4) +250â (9) âº 16 co, (g) + 18 HâO(g) la How many moles of H20co) are produced, when |--16:1

Sladkaya [172]

Answer :

(a) The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

(b) The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

Solution for part (a) : Given,

Moles of $C_8H_{18}$ = 16.15 moles

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_2O$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react to give 18 moles of $H_2O$

So, 16.15 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react to give $\frac{16.15}{2}\times 18=145.35$ moles of $H_2O$

The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

Solution for part (b) : Given,

Mass of $C_8H_{18}$ = 878 g

Molar mass of $C_8H_{18}$ = 114 g/mole

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_8H_{18}$ .

$\text{ Moles of }C_8H_{18}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_8H_{18}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_8H_{18}}=\frac{878g}{114g/mole}=7.702moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $O_2$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react with 25 moles of $O_2$

So, 7.702 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react with $\frac{7.702}{2}\times 25=96.275$ moles of $O_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$ .

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=(96.275moles)\times (32g/mole)=3080.8g$

The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.
