In a 0.15 m solution of malonic acid, the amount of the malonate anion, c3h2o42-, is 1.68*10^{-4} M.

Explanation:

For the first equlibria;

initial concentration of H_{2}C_{3}H_{2}OH=0.15

initial concentration of HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =0

initial concentration of H^{+} =0

Let concentration change of H_{2}C_{3}H_{2}OH=-x

Let concentration change of HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =+x

Let concentration change of H^{+} =+x

Let concentration in equilibrium state of  H_{2}C_{3}H_{2}OH=0.15-x

Let concentration in equilibrium state ofHC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =x

Let concentration in equilibrium state ofH^{+} =x

Therefore, Ka_{1}=\frac{x*x}{0.15-x}=\frac{1.5*10^{-3}}{1} =\frac{x^{2}}{0.15-x}

x^{2}+0.0015x-0.000225=0

Which is a quadratic equation in x, solving it gives;

x=0.01427

Therefore, HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =x= 0.01427M

Now for the second equlibria;

initial concentration of HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-}=0.01427

initial concentration of C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =0

initial concentration of H^{+} =0

Let concentration change of HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-}=-x

Let concentration change of  C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =+x

Let concentration change of H^{+} =+x

Let concentration in equilibrium state of  HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-}=0.01427-x

Let concentration in equilibrium state ofC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =x

Let concentration in equilibrium state ofH^{+} =x

Therefore, Ka_{2}=\frac{x*x}{0.01427-x}=\frac{2.0*10^{-6}}{1} =\frac{x^{2}}{0.01427-x}

2.854*10^{-8}-(2.0*10^{-6})x=x^{2}

Therefore, C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =x= 1.68*10^{-4}M

<h3>What is a malonic acid?</h3>

The chemical formula of malonic acid is CH2(COOH)2. Malonates include the ionized form of malonic acid as well as its esters and salts. For instance, the diethyl ester of malonic acid is called diethyl malonate.

Polyester and polymers both employ malonic acid as a precursor. Both the scent business and the flavoring sector utilize it. It is employed to regulate acidity. Malonic acid contributes to the production of fatty acids in people. Malonic acid has been found in a number of foods outside of the human body, including red beets, corn, scarlet beans, common beets, and cow milks, although its presence has not been defined. The group of organic substances known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives includes malonic acid, also known as malonate or H2MALO.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin
svlad2 [7]

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

An equilibrium mixture of PCl5(g), PCl3(g), and Cl2(g) has partial pressures of 217.0 Torr, 13.2 Torr, and 13.2 Torr, respective
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

PCl_3,p_1'=6.798 Torr

Cl_2,p_2'=26.398 Torr

PCl_5,p_3'=223.402 Torr

Explanation:

PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

At equilibrium before adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the PCl_3=p_1=13.2 Torr

Partial pressure of the Cl_2=p_2=13.2 Torr

Partial pressure of the PCl_5=p_3=217.0 Torr

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

K_p=\frac{p_1}{p_1\times p_2}

=\frac{217.0 Torr}{13.2 Torr\times 13.2 Torr}=1.245

At equilibrium after adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the PCl_3=p_1'=13.2 Torr

Partial pressure of the Cl_2=p_2'=?

Partial pressure of the PCl_5=p_3'=217.0 Torr

Total pressure of the system = P = 263.0 Torr

P=p_1'+p_2'+p_3'

263.0Torr=13.2 Torr+p_2'+217.0 Torr

p_2'=32.8 Torr

PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

At initail

(13.2) Torr     (32.8) Torr                        (13.2) Torr

At equilbriumm

(13.2-x) Torr     (32.8-x) Torr                        (217.0+x) Torr

K_p=\frac{p_3'}{p_1'\times p_2'}

1.245=\frac{(217.0+x)}{(13.2-x)(32.8-x)}

Solving for x;

x = 6.402 Torr

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

p_1'=(13.2-x) Torr=(13.2-6.402) Torr=6.798 Torr

p_2'=(32.8-x) Torr=(32.8-6.402) Torr=26.398 Torr

p_3'=(217.0+x) Torr=(217+6.402) Torr=223.402 Torr
