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).

Calculate the how many sodium atoms must react completely to give 33,6 dm³ hydro-
lions [1.4K]

To give 33.6 dm³ hydrogen gas at STP, 18.06 x 10²³ atoms of Na must react completely.

<h3>What is Mole concept ?</h3>

A mole is a unit of measurement used to measure the amount of any fundamental entity (atoms, molecules, ions) present in the substance.

As according to the given equation, 2 moles (ie 12.04 x 10²³ atoms) of Na-atoms produces 1 mole (22.4 ltr) of H₂-gas.

Hence, to produce 33.6 ltr (equivalent to 33.6 dm³) of H₂-gas produced by ;

   = 12.04 x 10²³ atoms of Na / 22.4 ltr of H₂-gas x 33.6 ltr

   = 18.06 x 10²³ atoms of Na

Hence, To give 33.6 dm³ hydrogen gas at STP, 18.06 x 10²³ atoms of Na must react completely.

Suppose 550.mmol of electrons must be transported from one side of an electrochemical cell to another in 49.0 minutes. Calculate
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

18.0 Ampere is the size of electric current that must flow.

Explanation:

Moles of electron , n = 550 mmol = 0.550 mol

1 mmol = 0.001 mol

Number of electrons = N

N=N_A\times n

Charge on N electrons : Q

Q = N\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C

Duration of time charge allowed to pass = T = 49.0 min = 49.0 × 60 seconds

1 min = 60 seconds

Size of current : I

I=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{N\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}

=\frac{n\times N_A\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}

I=\frac{0.550 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}=18.047 A\approx 18.0 A

18.0 Ampere is the size of electric current that must flow.

Why does the sky change colors at sunrise and sunset
aniked [119]

Answer:

As the sun's angle changes, (because of the rotation of the earth) the sun slowly begins to shine more or less sunshine slowly. When sunsets and sunrises occur, the color of the sky changes because the sunshine is starting to fade out or in.

I put it in my own words so you don't have to worry about plagiarism :)

Is density a chemical or physical property of a substance?
pychu [463]

Answer:

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

I hope this helps you understand! <3
