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>

maw [93]

Answer:

22.73s

Explanation:

The reaction is a second order reaction, we know this by observing the unit of the slope.

rate constant = k = 0.056 M-1s-1

the initial concentration of BrO- [A]o = 0.80 M

time = ?

Final concentration [A]t= one-half of 0.80 M = 0.40M

1 / [A]t = kt + 1 / [A]o

1 / 0.40 = 0.056 * t + 1 / 0.80

t = (2.5 - 1.25) / 0.056

t = 22.73s

Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs in each of the following equations:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(c) Pair 1: HBr and Br⁻

    Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d)  Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

     Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

    NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

     The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

(c) HBr is an acid. When loses the H⁺ ion, it forms the conjugate base Br⁻.

   CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

    H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.
