(a) What is the basis of the approximation that avoids using the quadratic formula to find an equilibrium concentration?

Chemistry

The approximation is valid because  is very small.

Calculation of  concentration:

Since

0.85 M        0    0

(0.85-x)M    x      x

Now the value of x should be

x = 0.0000229

So based on this, the above concentration should be determined.

Now you will solve using the quadratic formula instead of iterations, to show that the same value of x is obtained either way. using the quadratic equation to calculate [h3o+] in 0.00250 m hno2, what are the values of a, b, c and x , where a, b, and c are the coefficients in the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, and x is [h3o+]? recall that ka=4.5×10−4 .

a: 1

b: 4.5x10⁻⁴

c: 1.125x10⁻⁶

[H₃O⁺] = 0.000859M

As HNO₂ is a weak acid, its equilibrium in water is:

HNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Equilibrium constant, ka, is defined as:

ka = 4.5x10⁻⁴ = [H₃O⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] (1)

Equilibrium concentration of each specie are:

[HNO₂] = 0.00250M - x

[H₃O⁺] = x

[NO₂⁻] = x

Replacing in (1):

4.5x10⁻⁴ = x × x / 0.00250M - x

1.125x10⁻⁶ - 4.5x10⁻⁴x = x²

0 = x² + 4.5x10⁻⁴x - 1.125x10⁻⁶

As the quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

Coefficients are:

a: 1

b: 4.5x10⁻⁴

c: 1.125x10⁻⁶

Now, solving quadratic equation:

x = -0.0013 → False answer, there is no negative concentrations.

x = 0.000859

As [H₃O⁺] = x; [H₃O⁺] = 0.000859M

A chemical reaction produced 177.3 grams of chlorine has (Cl²). What was the volume of the gas?
vichka [17]
Since there is so little information given, I will assume that we are at STP and i can use the conversion factor at STP--->> 22.4 Liters= 1 mol of gas

before we use this conversion, we need to convert the grams to moles using the molar mass of the molecule.

molar mass of Cl₂= 35.5 x 2= 71.0 g/ mol

177.3 g (1 mol/ 71.0 g)= 2.50 mol Cl₂

then we use the conversion to get the volume

2.50 mol Cl₂ (22.4 Liters/ 1 mol)= 55.9 Liters

Alice added sodium chloride to water and stirred the water for several minutes. Alice is most likely trying to demonstrate that
SashulF [63]

Answer is: 2. can dissolve.

Ionic compounds separates into particles (ions) in water because of their ionic bond.

For example sodium chloride is ionic compound and strong electrolyte and dissociates in water on hydrated sodium cations and chlorine anions:

NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).

It is observed that the atoms of hydrogen in gas discharge tube emit radiations whose spectrum shows line characteristics (line
azamat

Answer: the line Spectra of hydrogen lies between the ultra-violet, visible light and infra-red of the electro magnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation spans an wide range of wavelengths and frequencies. This range is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The 7 regions includes; radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays.

lower-energy radiation, such as radio waves, is expressed as frequency while microwaves, infrared, visible and UV light are usually expressed as wavelength and finally, higher-energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays, is expressed in terms of energy per photon.

Therefore, hydrogen lies between the ultra-violet, visible light and infra-red region of the electro magnetic spectrum.

7D  Density is one of the fundamental scientific principles of life. It can describe any everyday object. Despite its significance, students often struggle to understand what it really is. Density is a measurement of how much space or volume is packed in an object or substance.

8   property means a characteristic or trait that you can use to describe matter by observation, measurement, or combination.
