We are given the molar concentration of an aqueous solution of weak acid and the pH ofthe solution, and we are asked to determine the value of Ka for the acid.
The first step in solving any equilibrium problem is to write the equation for the equilibriumreaction. The ionization of benzoic acid can be written as seen in the attached image (1).
The equilibrium-constant expression is the equation number (2)
From the measured pH, we can calculate pH as seen in equation (3)
To determine the concentrations of the species involved in the equilibrium, we imagine that thesolution is initially 0.10 M in HCOOH molecules. We then consider the ionization of the acidinto H+ and HCOO-. For each HCOOH molecule that ionizes, one H+ ion and one HCOO- ionare produced in solution. Because the pH measurement indicates that [H+] = 1x 10^-4 M atequilibrium, we can construct the following table as seen in the equation number (4)
To find the value of Ka, please see equation (5):
We can now insert the equilibrium concentrations into the expression for Ka as seen in equation (6)
Therefore, 2.58x10^-4 M is the concentration of benzoic acid to have a pH of 4.0

What is the molarity of the solution resulting from the dissolution of 239 g glucose (C6H12O6) in 250
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Molarity =5.32 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of glucose = 239 g

Volume = 250 mL (250 /1000 = 0.25 L)

Molarity = ?

Solution;

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 239 g / 180.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.33 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Molarity = 1.33 mol / 0.25 L

Molarity =5.32 M

What combination of forces was the closest match? Why?
Virty [35]

Answer: COMBINED FORCES

When forces act in the same direction, they combine to make a bigger force. When they act in opposite directions, they can cancel one another out. If the forces acting on an object balance, the object does not move, but may change shape.

What is the correct sequence of coefficients when this equation is balanced? ___cs2(l) + ___o2(g) → ___co2(g) + ___so2(g)?
iris [78.8K]

Answer: the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.


Explanation:


1) Given equation: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + SO₂(g)


2) To balance:


i) initially C is balanced: 1 atom in the left side, and 1 atom in the right sides


ii) Add coefficient 2 in front of SO₂ to have 2 atoms in each side.


That leads to: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)


iii) Count the O atoms; there are 2 atoms in the left, and 6 atoms in the right side. So, add a coefficient 3 in front of O₂ (in the left) and you get:


CS₂(l) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)


4) You can verigy that now the equation is balanced:


C: 1 in the left, and 1 in the right


S: 2 in the left, and 2 in the right


O: 6 in the left, and 6 in the right.


5) So, the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.


Remember, when the none coefficient is shown it is because it is 1.
