Answer:- The Ka for the acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

pH = -log[H^+][/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

[H^+]=10^-^p^H

[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1

[H^+] = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}

Ka=1.53*10^-^5

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

Dissociation of butyric acid can be represented as:

HC₄H₇O₄------> H⁺ + C₄H₇O₄⁻

So its dissociation constant can be calculated as:

Ka={[H⁺][C₄H₇O₄⁻ ]}/[HC₄H₇O₄]

As pH = -log[H⁺]

2.71 = -log[H⁺]

[H⁺]= 0.0019

[H⁺]=[C₄H₇O₄⁻ ]=0.0019

As [HC₄H₇O₄]= 0.25M

So Ka={[H⁺][C₄H₇O₄⁻ ]}/[HC₄H₇O₄]

=(0.0019×0.0019)/0.25

=0.000014

NItrogen in air reacts at high temperature to form NO2 according to the reaction:
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Structures for the reactants and products are given in an aimage ;

Number of double bonds in oxygen gas molecule = 1

Number of double bonds in nitro dioxide gas molecule = 1

Number of single bond in in nitro dioxide gas molecule = 1

Number of triple bonds in nitrogen gas molecule = 1

N_2+2O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2,\Delta H=?

\Delta H=[2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,NO_2}]-[1 mol\times \Delta H_{f,N_2}-2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,O_2}]

\Delta H_{f,NO_2}=33.18 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{f,N_2}=0 (pure element)

\Delta H_{f,O_2}=0 (pure element )

\Delta H=2 mol\times 33.18 kJ/mol=66.36kJ=15.86 kcal

The enthalpy of the given reaction is 15.86 kcal.

How do you know how to order an empirical formula?
inessss [21]

Answer:

Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem. the mass of each element = the percent given. Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table. Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

Determine the element of lowest atomic number that contains a complete d subshell in the ground state. element symbol:
allsm [11]

The component with the most low atomic number that contains a total d-subshell in the ground state is copper. Copper's electron arrangement is [Ar]3d104s1 [ A r ] 3d 10 4 s 1 .  

Further Explanation:  

atomic number:  

The nuclear number or proton number (image Z) of a synthetic component is the quantity of protons found in the core of a particle. It is indistinguishable from the charge number of the core. The nuclear number particularly distinguishes a compound component. In an uncharged iota, the nuclear number is likewise equivalent to the quantity of electrons.  

The elemenents of the intermittent table arranged by atomic mass:  

atomic Mass    Name substance element          Number  

1.0079                          Hydrogen                            1  

4.0026                            Helium                                    2  

6.941                           Lithium                                    3  

9.0122                           Beryllium                                    4  

atomic number speak to:  

The nuclear number (otherwise called the proton number) is the quantity of protons found in the core of an iota. It is customarily spoken to by the image Z. The nuclear number exceptionally distinguishes a substance component. In a particle of impartial charge nuclear number is equivalent to the quantity of electrons.  

Meaning of subshell:  

A subshell is a subdivision of electron shells isolated by electron orbitals. Subshells are marked s, p, d, and f in an electron design.

Subject: chemistry
