Answer:

Ratio of [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃] is 1.0x10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Based on the equilibriums:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ H⁺ + HCO₃⁻ Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹

The sum of both equilibriums is:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ 2 H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ K' = 4.3x10⁻⁷*4.8x10⁻¹¹ = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷

Where K' is defined as:

K' = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷ = [H⁺]² [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

If concentration of H⁺ is 4.5x10⁻⁵M:

K' = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷ = [4.5x10⁻⁵]² [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

1.0x10⁻⁸ = [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

Thus, <em>ratio of [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃] is 1.0x10⁻⁸</em>

Which of the following are isotopes, choose all that apply.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Element X with atomic number 10 and atomic mass 21

Element Z with atomic number 10 and atomic mass 22

Explanation:

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

  • Isotopes of an element have the same electronic configuration.
  • They share the same chemical properties
  • They only differ in their masses.

So, Element X and Z with atomic number 10 which is their number of electrons are isotopes. Their mass number, 21 and 22 differs.

How does a allergy develop?<br><br><br> PLEASE HELP!
Nikolay [14]
Allergies arise when a foreign material such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander responds to your immune system or a food that in most people does not cause a reaction. Substances known as antibodies are formed by your immune system.

5. Which statement is true about electronegativity?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,

Explanation:

The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.

Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.

This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.
