Explanation:

Concentration of KNO_{2} is 0.278 M and it is completely ionized into K^{+} and NO^{-}_{2}.

This means that [KNO_{2}] = [NO_{2}] = 0.278 M

It is given that concentration of HNO_{2} is 0.222 M.

As HNO_{2} is a weak acid. Therefore, its dissociation will be as follows.

              HNO_{2}(aq) \rightarrow H^{+}(aq) + NO^{-}_{2}(aq)

Initially :    0.222 M            0        0.278 M

Change :    - x                    +x           +x

Equilibrium : 0.222 M - x    x         0.278 M + x

Therefore, dissociation constant for this reaction will be as follows.

        K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}][NO^{-}_{2}]}{[HNO_{2}]}

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}][NO^{-}_{2}]}{[HNO_{2}]}

      4.50 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{x \times (0.278 + x)}{(0.222 - x)}

                          x = 0.00036

As, [H^{+}] is 0.00036 M. Therefore, percentage ionization of HNO_{2} will be calculated as follows.

              % ionization of HNO_{2} = \frac{[H^{+}]}{[HNO_{2}]} \times 100

                               = \frac{0.00036 M}{0.222 M} \times 100

                               = 0.16 %

Thus, we can conclude that % ionization of HNO_{2} is 0.16%.

How would you describe (explain the differences) solids, liquids, and gases to a 4th grader? Be clear please.
musickatia [10]
A solid is an object that has definite shape, volume, and mass. This means that the shape, volume, and mass will never change.

A liquid is something that has definite volume and mass, but it does not have definite shape because a liquid is the shape of its container.

A gas <span>does not have a definite shape, mass, or <span>volume because a gas is able to spread around.</span></span>

aksik [14]

Answer:

a ice cube on a room temperature rock

Explanation:

because the air temperature is warmer than the freezers which means the ice particle gather heat energy from warmer air.

According to the equation below, how many moles of Ca(OH)2 are required to react with 1.36 mol H3PO4 to produce Ca3(PO4)2? 3Ca(O
allsm [11]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of calcium hydroxide needed to react is 2.04 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of phosphoric acid = 1.36 moles

For the given chemical equation:

3Ca(OH)_2+2H_3PO_4\rightarrow Ca_3(PO_4)_2+6H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of phosphoric acid reacts with 3 moles of calcium hydroxide

So, 1.36 moles of phosphoric acid will react with = \frac{3}{2}\times 1.36=2.04mol of calcium hydroxide

Hence, the amount of calcium hydroxide needed to react is 2.04 moles
