Answer:

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one state the following relationship among the pH, pKa and the [a–]/[ha] ratio for the formic acid:

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

In such a way, we compute both the concentration of hydrogen ions and the acid's dissociation constant as:

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.75}=1.78x10^{-4}M

Ka=10^{-Ka}=10^{-3.75}=1.78x10^{-4}

Thus, the [a–]/[ha] ratio becomes:

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{1.78x10^{-4}}{1.78x10^{-4}}\\\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1

Best regards.

The formula for pH given the pKa and the concentrations are:

pH = pKa + log [a–]/[ha]

<span>
Therefore calculating:</span>

3.75 = 3.75 + log [a–]/[ha]

log [a–]/[ha] = 0

[a–]/[ha] = 10^0

<span>[a–]/[ha] = 1</span>

¿Cuál será la masa molar del agua?, si el hidrógeno tiene una masa atómica H=1.0 uma y el Oxigeno de 16 uma. * 1 punto
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

18

Explanation:

Sabemos que la fórmula química del agua es H2O.

Usando la información que; H = 1, O = 16, podemos calcular la masa molar del agua de la siguiente manera

[2 (1) + 16] = 18

Por tanto, la masa molar del agua es 18

Consider the reaction between hydrazine and hydrogen to produce ammonia, N2H4(g)+H2(g)→2NH3(g). Use enthalpies of formation and
kupik [55]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the nitrogen-nitrogen bond in N2H4 is 162.6 kJ

Explanation:

For the reaction: N2H4(g)+H2(g)→2NH3(g), the enthalpy change of reaction is

ΔH rxn = 2 ΔHºf NH3 - ΔHºf N2H4

but we also know that the ΔH rxn is calculated by accounting   the sum of number of bonds formed and bonds broken as follows:

ΔH rxn = 6H (N-H) + 4 (N-H) + 2H (H-H)  

where H is the bond enthalpy .When bonds are broken H is positive, and negative when formed,  in the product there are 6 N-H bonds , and in the reactants 4 N-H and 1 H-H bonds).

Consulting an appropiate reference handbook or table the following values are used:

ΔHºf (NH3) = -46 kJ/mol

ΔHºf (N2H4) = 95.94 kJ/mol

(The enthalpy of fomation of hydrogen in its standard state is zero)

H (N-H) = 391 kJ

H (H-H) = 432 kJ

H (N-N) = ?

So plugging our values:

ΔH rxn =  2mol ( -46.0 kJ/mol) - 1mol(95.4 kJ/mol) = -187.40 kJ

-187.40 kJ = 6(-391 kJ) + 4 (391 kJ) + 432 +  H(N-N)

-187.40 kJ = -350 kJ + H(N-N)

H(N-N) = 162.6 kJ
