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>

Lead has a density of 11.29 g/mL. If you had 186 g of lead, what would its volume be?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I think you just do 11.29 multiplied by 186 since to find density you divide mass by volume. So 186 divided by x is 11.29. So in conclusion the volume would be 2,099.94mL

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent for 4Li(s) + O_2 (g) to 2Li_2O(s).
wolverine [178]

Answer: Li is the reducing agentg and O is the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

1) The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced and the reducing agent is the one that is oxidized.

2) The given reaction is:

4Li(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 Li₂O(s)

3) Determine the oxidation states of each atom:

Li(s): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)

O₂ (g): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)

Li in Li₂O (s) +1

O in Li₂O -2

That because 2× (+1) - 2 = 0.

4) Determine the changes:

Li went from 0 to + 1, therefore it got oxidized and it is the reducing agent.

O went from 0 to - 2, therefore it got reduced and it is the oxidizing agent.

A container initially holds 5.67 x 10^-2 mol of propane and has a volume of V1. The volume of the container was increased by add
Brut [27]

Answer:

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of mol (n1) = 5.67 x 10⁻²

Number of mol (n2) = (5.67 +2.95) x 10⁻² = 8.62 x 10⁻²

New volume (V2) = 1.93 L

Find:

Initial volume of the container (V1)

Computation:

Using Avogadro's law

V1 / n1 = V2 / n2

V1 / 5.67 x 10⁻² = 1.93 / 8.62 x 10⁻²

V1 = 10.9431 / 8.62

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.2695

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)
