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.

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have __.
RUDIKE [14]

Hm, this could be more than one option, but gaining electrons makes a negative charge, so

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have "a negative one charge".

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole 21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l) What type of reaction is represented by the
wlad13 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

Exothermic Reaction are those reaction, in which energy is released while in endothermic reaction are those, in which energy is absorbed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First Reaction:

As in this reaction, energy is released

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole

so it is <em>exothermic reaction</em>

Second reaction:

As in this reaction, energy is absorbed

21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l)

so it is <em>endothermic reactions</em>.
