1) Equlibrium reaction

CH3COOH (aq) = CH3COO(-) (aq) + H(+) (aq)

2) Equilibrium constant

Keq = Ka = [CH3COO-] [H+] / [CH3COOH]

3) Equilibrium concentrations

                  CH3COOH      CH3COO-     H+

start               1.40                  0              0
react                  x                   0              0
produced           0                   x              x

equilibrium     1.40 - x            x               x

=> Ka = x * x / (1.40 - x)

Approximation: given that Ka is very small x <<< 1,40 and 1.40 - x  ≈ 1.40

=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 1.40

=> x^2 ≈ 1.40Ka = 1.40 * 1.8 * 10^ - 5 = 2.52 * 10^-5

=> x ≈ √(2.52 * 10^-5) ≈ 5.02 * 10^ -3 M

4) pH = log 1 / [H+]

[H+] = x = 5.02 * 10^-3M

=> pH ≈ log (1 / 5.02 * 10^-3) ≈ 2.3

Answer: 2.3

In whare atoms in group 1 and atoms in group 18 different?
sdas [7]

Group 1 contains metals while group 18 contains noble gases.

So group 1 is different from group 18 as they both contains different types of atoms as group 1 contains metals while group 18 contains noble gases.

There is 1 valence shell electron in group 1 , they are highly reactive while valence shell of group 18 is fully filled and they are least reactive .

How many calories are required to convert 17 g of ice at 0.0°C to liquid water at 32.0°C? The heat of fusion of water is 80. c
Mazyrski [523]

Answer : The heat required is, 1904 calories.

Explanation :

The process involved in this problem are :

(1):H_2O(s)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(32.0^oC)

The expression used will be:

\Delta H=m\times \Delta H_{fusion}+[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]

where,

m = mass of ice = 17 g

c_{p,l} = specific heat of liquid water = 1cal/g^oC

\Delta H_{fusion} = enthalpy change for fusion = 80.0cal/g

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\Delta H=17g\times 80.0cal/g+[17g\times 1cal/g^oC\times (32.0-0)^oC]

\Delta H=1904cal

Therefore, the heat required is, 1904 calories.

Which element has the largest atomic radius
iVinArrow [24]

Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus to the last valance electron up to which the effect nucleus can be felt. The size of the atom depends on the Electrostatic interaction between nucleus and electron. Number of atomic orbitals present. With the increase in numbers of orbitals down the group the size of the atom increases. Again, as the numbers of electrons increases in the period ,the electrostatic interaction between nucleus and electron increases along the period. Therefore, size of atoms decreases along the period.

As expected the element with highest atomic radius is the last element of group 1 , Which is FRANCIUM ( Fr)
