The calculated pH is 3.79. therefore, the solution is acidic.

No, carbonic acid is not a strong acid. H2CO3 is a weak acid that dissociates into a proton (H+ cation) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3- anion). This compound only partly dissociates in aqueous solutions.

H2 CO3    =    H (+) + HCO3(-)          Ka1 = 4.3 * 10^ -7

   0.06 - x              x          x

Ka1 = x^2 / (0.06 - x) = 4.3 * 10^ - 7

A low Ka => x << 0.06 => 0.06 -x ≈ 0.06

=> Ka1 ≈ x^2 / 0.06 => x^2 ≈ 0.06 * Ka1 = 0.06 * 4.3 * 10^-7

=> x ≈ √ [ 2.58 * 10 ^ -8] = 1.606 * 10^ - 4 = 0.0001606

Second dissociation

HCO3(-)    =   H (+) + CO3(2-)         Ka2 = 5.6 * 10^ - 11

0.0001606 - y            y             y

Ka2 ≈ y^2 / 0.0001606 => y = √ [0.0001606 * 5.6* 10^ -11]

y = 9.48 * 10^ -8

An acidic solution has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H +start superscript, plus, end superscript), greater than that of pure water.

[H+] = x + y = 1.607 * 10^ -4

pH = - log [H+] = 3.79

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the

temperature of the water. The water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of

100'C. If Mario completes the same experiment with 25mL of water, what would happen to the boiling

point?

a) The water will not reach a boil.

b) The boiling point of water will increase.

c) The boiling point of water will decrease.

d) The boiling point of water will stay the same.

What mass of KNO, will dissolve in 100 g of water at 100°C?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

About 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the reported solubility data for potassium nitrate at different temperatures on the attached picture, it is possible to bear out that about 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g; considering that the solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a solvent, in this case water.

Best regards!

Predict whether ΔS° is greater than, less than, or approximately zero for each of the following reactions, and explain your choi
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .  

  • If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
  • When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,  

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

  • If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a )  NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

The most abundant gases in the atmosphere are _____. trace gases variable gases greenhouse gases primary gases
White raven [17]
The correct answer is greenhouse gases. It is the most abundant gases among the choices in the atmosphere. These gases are water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and carbon dioxide. Without these gases, the temperature of Earth will be about -18 degrees Celsius.
