Answer:

pH=10.5

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the dissociation of the given weak acid is:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-

Therefore, the law of mass action for it turns out:

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

That in terms of the change x due to the reaction extent is:

1x10^{-23}=\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}

Thus, by solving with the quadratic equation or solver, we obtain:

x=31.6x10^{-12}M

Which clearly matches with the hydrogen concentration in the solution, therefore, the pH is:

pH=-log(-31.6x10^{-12})\\pH=10.5

Regards.

Please help me!!!!!!​
Leona [35]

The answer is B

To write the equilibrium constant for an equation, all you have to do is divide the products by the reactants. The reactants are always on the left side, and the products are always on the right side. The coefficients of the elements will be written as the exponent of that same element. However, in this equation, we do not have to write any exponents, as there are no coefficient but 1.

Water is a produced when 30.0 grams of hydrogen reacts with 80.0 grams of oxygen what is the limiting reagent
irakobra [83]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
2H₂ + O₂ --> 2H₂O
stoichiometry of H₂ to O₂ is 2:1
number of H₂ moles - 30.0 g / 2 g/mol = 15 mol 
number of O₂ moles - 80.0 g / 32 g/mol = 2.5 mol
limiting reactant is the reagent in which only a fraction is used up in the reaction
if H₂ is the limiting reactant 
if 2 mol of H₂ requires 1 mol of O₂
then 15 mol of H₂ requires 1/2 x 15.0 = 7.5 mol of O₂
but only 2.5 mol of O₂ is required 
this means that O₂ is the limiting reagentt and H₂ is in excess

Answer:

Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure in an automobile tire (P) = 1.88 atm

Temperature (K) = 25°C = 273 + 25 = 298 Kelvin

New temperature (K1) = 37°C = 273 + 37 = 310 Kelvin

Find:

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = ?

Computation:

\frac{P}{K}= \frac{P1}{K1} \\\\\frac{1.88}{298}= \frac{P1}{310}\\\\1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.96 (Approx)
