Chemistry

Answer:

1.112%.

Explanation:

Step one : write out the correct acid dissociation reaction. This is done below:

C6H5CO2H <=====> C6H5CO2^- + H^+.

At equilibrium, the concentration of C6H5CO2H = 0.5 M - x and the concentration of C6H5CO2^- = x and the concentration of H^+ = x.

The ka for C6H5CO2H = 6.3 × 10^-5.

Step two: find the value for the concentration of C6H5CO2^- and H^+. This can be done by using the equilibrium dissociation Constant formula below;

Ka = [C6H5CO2^- ] [H^+] / C6H5CO2H.

ka = [x] [x] / [0.5 - x].

6.3 × 10^-5 = (x)^2 / [0.5 - x].

x^2 = 3.15 ×10^-5 - 6.3 × 10^-5 x.

x^-2 + 6.3 × 10^-5 x - 3.15 × 10^-5.

Solving for x we have x= 0.0055632289702004 = 0.00556.

Therefore, at equilibrium the concentration of H^+ = 0.00556 M and the concentration of C6H5CO2H= O.5 - 0.00556 = 0.494 M.

Step three: Calculate the equilibrium pH. This stage can be ignored for this question since we are not asked to calculate for the pH.

The formular for pH = - log [H^+].

pH= - log [0.00556].

pH= 2.255.

Step four: find the percentage dissociation.

Percentage dissociation = ( [H^+] at equilibrium/ [ C6H5CO2H] at Initial concentration ) × 100%.

Percentage dissociation=( 0.00556/ 0.5 ) × 100.

=Percentage dissociation= 1.112%.

Calcula el pH de las siguientes sustancias formadas durante una erupción volcánica:
Virty [35]

<em>Calculate the pH of the following substances formed during a volcanic eruption: </em>

<em>• Acid rain if the [H +] is 1.9 x 10-5 </em>

<em>• Sulfurous acid if [H +] = 0.10 </em>

<em>• Nitric acid if [H +] = 0.11</em>

<em />

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.  

pH = - log [H⁺]  

  • pH acid rain

\tt pH=-log[1.9\times 10^{-5}]\\\\pH=5-log1.9\\\\pH=4.72

  • pH Sulfurous acid

\tt pH=-log[10^{-1}]\\\\pH=1

  • pH Nitric acid

\tt pH=-log[11\times 10^{-2}]\\\\pH=2-log~11=0.959

The compound sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, Na2S2O3 • 5H2O
Mnenie [13.5K]

The theoretical yield is 204.4 g while the percent yield is 2.57%.

<h3>What is theoretical yield?</h3>

Theoretical yield is the amount of product obtained based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

S8(s) + 8 Na2SO3(aq) + 40 H2O(l) --->8 Na2S2O3·5 H2O(s)

Number of moles of sulfur =  3.25 g /8(32) = 0.013 moles

Number of moles of sodium sulfite =  13.1 g/126 g/mol = 0.103 moles

Since 1 moles of sulfur reacts with 8 moles of sodium sulfite

0.013 moles reacts with 0.013 moles ×  8 moles /1 mole = 0.104 moles

There is not enough sodium sulfite hence it is the limiting reactant.

1 mole of sodium sulfite yields 8 moles of product

0.103 moles of sodium sulfite yields  0.103 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.824 moles

Mass of product = 0.824 moles × 248 g/mol = 204.4 g

percent yield =  5.26 g /204.4 g × 100/1

= 2.57%
