The kb of hypochlorous acid is 3. 0×10^–8 at 26. 0 C. What is the percent of ionization of hypochlorous?
1 answer:
The acid dissociation constant (Ka) defines the difference between a weak and a strong acid. The % ionization of hypochlorous acid is 0.14%.
<h3>What is the acid dissociation constant?</h3>The acid dissociation constant is used to define the ionization constant of an acidic substance. It gives the quantitative measurement of the strength.
The ICE table is attached to the image below.
The acid dissociation constant (Ka) for the reaction is,
Ka = [H⁺][ClO⁻] ÷ [HClO]
= a² ÷ (0.015 - a)
= 3.0 x 10⁻⁸
Now, a² + 3.0 x 10⁻⁸ a - 4.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0
So, a = 2.210 × 10⁻⁵
Solving further,
[H+] = a = 2.210 × 10⁻⁵ M
The percent ionization is calculated as,
[H+] ÷ [HClO] × 100
= 2.210 × 10⁻⁵ M ÷ 0.015 × 100
= 0.14 %
Therefore, 0.14 % is the percentage of hypochlorous ionization.

Your question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was, The ka of hypochlorous acid (HClO) is 3.0 x 10⁻⁸ at 25.0°C. What is the % of ionization of hypochlorous acid in a 0.015 aqueous solution of HClO at 25.0C?

Here we have to get the spin of the other electron present in a orbital which already have an electron which has clockwise spin.
The electron will have anti-clockwise notation.
We know from the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons in an atom can have all the four quantum numbers i.e. principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m) and spin quantum number (s) same. The importance of the principle also restrict the possible number of electrons may be present in a particular orbital.
Let assume for an 1s orbital the possible values of four quantum numbers are n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 and s = .
The exclusion principle at once tells us that there may be only two unique sets of these quantum numbers:
1, 0, 0, + and 1, 0, 0, -
.
Thus if one electron in an orbital has clockwise spin the other electron will must be have anti-clockwise spin.
We need to know the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure.
The relationship is: As air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases.
For any gaseous substance, density of gas is directly proportional to pressure of gas.
This can be explained from idial gas edquation:
PV=nRT
PV=RT [where, w= mass of substance, M=molar mass of substance]
PM=RT
PM=dRT [where, d=density of thesubstance]
So, for a particular gaseous substance (whose molar mass is known), at particular temperature, pressure is directly related to density of gaseous substance.
Therefore, as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases.
