Calculate the ph of a 0.20 m solution of iodic acid (hio3, ka = 0.17).

1 answer:

7 0

Iodic acid partially dissociates into H+ and IO3-
Assuming that x is the concentration of H+ at equilibrium, and sine the equation says the same amount of IO3- will be released as that of H+, its concentration is also X. The formation of H+ and IO3- results from the loss of HIO3 so its concentration at equilibrium is 0.20 M - x
Ka = [H+] [IO3-] / [HIO3];
Initially, [H+] ≈ [IO3-] = 0 and [HIO3] = 0.20; 
At equilibrium [H+] ≈ [IO3-] = x and [HIO3] = 0.20 - x; 
so 0.17 = x² / (0.20 - x); 
Solving for x using the quadratic formula: 
x = [H+] = 0.063 M or pH = - log [H+] = 1.2.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom, what nucleus does it become?

Shkiper50 [21]

If two protons are added to carbon, the chemical identity changes to oxygen, which is two spaces over horizontally on the periodic table. The number of protons is what we call the atomic number (Z), and this is what defines the identity of an element. Since we also added two neutrons, this is simply oxygen, or oxygen-16, the most abundant isotope of oxygen.

Define adhesion and give an example?

bulgar [2K]

Similar to Cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances . Water uses adhesion when it's attraction to another substance is greater than the water's attraction to itself. if you have ever dropped a cup of water on a hardwood floor,you know that it spreads out instead of foaming beads.

The combustion of palmitic acid is represented by the chemical equation: C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) → 16 CO2(g) + 16 H2O(l) The magni

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The reaction is

$C_{16}H_{32}O_2(g) + 23O_2(g) \to 16 CO_2(g) + 16 H_2O(l)$

Generally $\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta N* RT$

Here $\Delta H$ is the change in enthalpy

$\Delta U$ is the change in the internal energy

$\Delta N$ is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant

Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is $O_2$ and $CO_2$ and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles

$\Delta H = \Delta U + [16 -23]* RT$

$\Delta H = \Delta U -7RT$

The negative sign in the equation tell us that the enthalpy $\Delta_r H$ would be less than the Internal energy $\Delta_r U$
