Answer:

9.8 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid dissociation of barbituric acid.

HC₄H₃N₂O₃(aq) ⇄ C₄H₃N₂O₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pH is 1.93. We can find the concentration of H⁺.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -1.93 = 0.0117 M

The concentration of the acid (Ca) is 1.4 M. We can fidn the acid dissociation constant (Ka) using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

[H⁺]² = Ca × Ka

Ka = [H⁺]² / Ca

Ka = (0.0117)² / 1.4

Ka = 9.8 × 10⁻⁵

belka [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iron exhibits two stable oxidation states, +2 and +3 states. The difference between FeO and Fe2O3 is that, in FeO, Fe is in the +2 oxidation state while in Fe2O3, Fe is in the +3 oxidation state

In FeO, iron looses two electrons which are gained by oxygen as follows;

Fe^2+ + O^2- -----> FeO

In Fe2O3, Fe looses six electrons while oxygen has gained six electrons as shown;

2Fe^3+ + 3O^2- ------>Fe2O3
