Answer:

pH = 5.47

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

HIO ↔ H⁺ + IO⁻

Ka = $\frac{[H+][IO-]}{[HIO]}$ = 2.3 * 10⁻¹¹

At equilibrium:

[HIO] = 0.5 M - x

[H⁺] = x

[IO⁻] = x

Replacing those values in the equation for Ka and solving for x:

$Ka=\frac{x^2}{0.5-x}=2.3*10^{-11} \\x^2=(2.3*10^{-11})(0.5-x)\\x^2=1.15*10^{-11}-2.3*10^{-11}x\\x^2+2.3*10^{-11}x-1.15*10^{-11}=0\\x=3.39*10^{-6}$

Then [H⁺]=3.39 * 10⁻⁶, thus pH = 5.47

Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

An average bushel of apples has a mass of 10 kg and contains 5 dozen apples.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Average mass of 6 apple = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Average mass of 5 dozen apple = 10 kg

Find:

Average mass of 6 apple

Computation:

Average mass of 6 apple = [Average mass of 1 apple] x [6 apple]

Average mass of 6 apple = [10/(12 x 5)] x [6]

Average mass of 6 apple = 1 kg

Suppose a 250. mL flask is filled with 0.30 mol of N_2 and 0.70 mol of NO. The following reaction becomes possible:N_2(g) +O2 →

Inessa [10]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products is equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants. It can be described by the equilibrium constant, which is the multiplication of the concentration of the products elevated by their coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentration of the reactants elevated by their coefficients. So, let's do an equilibrium chart for the reaction.

Because there's no O₂ in the beginning, the NO will decompose:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)

0.30 0 0.70 Initial

+x +x -2x Reacts (the stoichiometry is 1:1:2)

0.30+x x 0.70-2x Equilibrium

The equilibrium concentrations are the number of moles divided by the volume (0.250 L):

[N₂] = (0.30 + x)/0.250

[O₂] = x/0.25

[NO] = (0.70 - 2x)/0.250

K = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂])

K = $\frac{(\frac{0.70 -2x}{0.250})^2 }{\frac{0.30+x}{0.250}*\frac{x}{0.250} }$

7.70 = (0.70-2x)²/[(0.30+x)*x]

7.70 = (0.49 - 2.80x + 4x²)/(0.30x + x²)

4x² - 2.80x + 0.49 = 2.31x + 7.70x²

3.7x² + 5.11x - 0.49 = 0

Solving in a graphical calculator (or by Bhaskara's equation), x>0 and x<0.70

x = 0.09 mol

Thus,

[O₂] = 0.09/0.250 = 0.36 M ≅ 0.4 M
