Why is Oxygen classified as an element?

Chemistry

UNO [17]3 years ago

It can be oxygen in only 1 atom. All elements on the periodic table can stand alone in one atom.

(I took a lucky guess, using some of my knowledge about elements )

What is the % dissociation of a solution of acetic acid if at equilibrium the solution has a pH = 4.74 and a pKa = 4.74?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

\% diss = 50\%

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, when considering weak acids which have an associated percent dissociation, we first need to set up the ionization reaction and the equilibrium expression:

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

Now, by introducing x as the reaction extent which also represents the concentration of both H+ and A-, we have:

Ka=\frac{x^2}{[HA]_0-x} =10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}

Thus, it is possible to find x given the pH as shown below:

x=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}M

So that we can calculate the initial concentration of the acid:

\frac{(1.82x10^{-5})^2}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1.82x10^{-5}\\\\\frac{1.82x10^{-5}}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1\\\\

[HA]_0=3.64x10^{-5}M

Therefore, the percent dissociation turns out to be:

\% diss=\frac{x}{[HA]_0}*100\% \\\\\% diss=\frac{1.82x10^{-5}M}{3.64x10^{-5}M}*100\% \\\\\% diss = 50\%

Best regards!

Kinetic energy is energy that an object possesses because of its
uysha [10]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If an object has kinetic energy, then it is moving. Many students confuse kinetic energy with potential energy.

Or each set of elements represented in this periodic table outline, identify the principal quantum number, n , and the azimuthal
Tems11 [23]
The answer is potassium. It would be 4, and for neon would be 2. Just total which row of the periodic table you are on. The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3). The way in which these orbitals are filled is: for each of the first three rows (up to argon), two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals. The row where the potassium also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4) but then goes back to satisfying up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it seals up the "p"s for n=4.

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.8
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Complete Question

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.82 when exactly 13 mL of base had been added, you notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M. What is the pKa of your unknown acid?

Answer:

The pK_a value is pK_a  =7.82

Explanation:

From the question we are told

    The volume of base is  V_B = 26.mL = 0.0260L

     The pH of solution is  pH =  7.82

      The concentration of the acid is C_A = 0.1M

From the pH we can see that the titration is between a strong base and a weak acid

 Let assume that the the volume of acid is  V_A = 18mL= 0.018L

Generally the concentration of base

                    C_B = \frac{C_AV_A}{C_B}

Substituting value  

                     C_B = \frac{0.1 * 0.01800}{0.0260}

                    C_B= 0.0692M

When 13mL of the base is added a buffer is formed

The chemical equation of the reaction is

           HA_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)} --------> A^{+}_{(aq)} + H_2 O_{(l)}

Now before the reaction the number of mole of base is  

            No \ of \ moles[N_B]  =  C_B * V_B

Substituting value  

                    N_B = 0.01300 * 0.0692

                         = 0.0009 \ moles    

                                 

Now before the reaction the number of mole of acid is  

            No \ of \ moles  =  C_B * V_B

Substituting value  

                    N_A = 0.01800 *0.1

                         = 0.001800 \ moles

Now after the reaction the number of moles of  base is  zero  i.e has been used up

    this mathematically represented as

                         N_B ' = N_B - N_B = 0

    The  number of moles of acid is  

             N_A ' = N_A  - N_B

                   = 0.0009\ moles

The pH of this reaction can be mathematically represented as

                 pH  = pK_a + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}

Substituting values

                  7.82 = pK_a +log \frac{0.0009}{0.0009}

                  pK_a  =7.82
