HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻ 
so:
\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]} = 1.5 x 10^{-5}
and now:
\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.150-x)} = 1.5 x 10⁻⁵
x is considered very small compared to 0.15
x² = 2.25 x 10⁻⁶
x = 1.5 x 10⁻³
So [H⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³
pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (1.5 x 10⁻³) = 2.83

Answer:

sodium carbonate

To which of the third period element does this belong
Mrac [35]

Explanation:

A period 3 element is one of the chemical elements in the third row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements. The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when the periodic table skips a row and a chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall into the same vertical columns. The third period contains eight elements: sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and argon. The first two, sodium and magnesium, are members of the s-block of the periodic table, while the others are members of the p-block. All of the period 3 elements occur in nature and have at least one stable isotope.[1]

Find the formula for the compound that contains 72.40% iron and 27.60% oxygen.
Vikki [24]
Oxygen = 16
Iron = 55.8
16 x 27.6% = 4.4 /4 = 1.1
55.8 x 72.4% = 40.4 /4 = 10.1
1 oxygen and 10 iron, so Fe10 O
