Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid answer?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
4 0
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.

The strength of an Arrhenius acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

<span> Weak acid partially ionize in water and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.

For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq).

The molecular mass of methyl ethanoate is 75.1 amu . calculate the molecular mass of propanoic acid, an isomer of methyl ethanoa
iren [92.7K]
Molecular Formula of Propanoic Acid is....

                                                C₃H₆O₂
Where;

Atomic Mass of C  =  12

Atomic Mass of H  =  1

Atomic Mass of O  =  6

Substituting Atomic Masses in molecular formula,

                                                (12)₃ + (1)₆ + (16)₂

                                                   36  +  6  +  32

                                                        74 g/mol

Result:
            
Molecular Mass of Propanoic Acid is 74 g/mol. Structure of Methyl Ethanoate and Propanoic Acid are as follow,

Blance equation __CaBr2 (aq) + ___Li3PO4(aq) → ___Ca3(PO4)2(s) + ____LiBr (aq)
QveST [7]

Answer:

3CaBr2 + 2LI3PO4 - > Ca3(PO4) 2 + 6LiBr

Explanation:

The first one I did was PO4. There are two on the right side, so I added 2 to Li3PO4 on the other side. That balanced the PO4s and then gave me 6 Lithiums so I balanced that one next on the right side. I added 6 to LiBr which balanced the Li but then gave me 6 Br, so I finished it off by adding 3 in front of CaBr2 which balanced the calcium and bromines.

Here was the process:

CaBr2+2Li3PO4 -> Ca3(PO4)2+LiBr

Balances PO4 (2on both sides)

CaBr2+2Li3PO4 -> Ca3(PO4)2+6LiBr

Balances Lithiums (6 on each side)

3CaBr2+2Li3PO4 -> Ca3(PO4)2+6LiBr

Balances Calciums and Bromines (3 Calciums and 6 Bromines each side)

Hope this helped!

Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water
Agata [3.3K]

9.98 g of NH₃ reacts with 23.4 g of O₂ (up to 3 significant figure).

<h3>What is Significant figures ?</h3>

The digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit.

The given chemical equation ;

4NH₃ + 5O₂ ---> 4NO + 6H₂O

Therefore,

4 moles of NH₃ reacts with 5 moles of O₂.

i.e,

68 g of NH₃ reacts with 160g of O₂.

Therefore,

9.98 g of NH₃ reacts with :

      = 160/68 x 9.98

      = 23.4 g of O₂ (up to 3 significant figure)
