The ka of acetic acid ch3co2h is 1.8 x10-5. what is the ph

1 answer:

6 0

You must know the concentration of the acetic acid. Suppose the concentration is 0.1 M. The solution is as follows:

CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
I 0.1 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.1 - x x x

Ka = (x)(x)/(0.1 - x)
1.8×10⁻⁵ = x²/(0.1 - x)
Solving for x,
x = 1.333×10⁻³ = H⁺

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(1.333×10⁻³)
pH = 2.88

What is the equation for determining gas pressure?

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, let's review the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. In this equation, 'P' is the pressure in atmospheres, 'V' is the volume in liters, 'n' is the number of particles in moles, 'T' is the temperature in Kelvin and 'R' is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 liter atmospheres per moles Kelvin)

Calculate the molar solubility of fe(oh)2 in pure water. (the value of ksp for fe(oh)2 is 4.87×10−17.)

rosijanka [135]

When we have this balanced equation for a reaction:
Fe(OH)2(s) ↔ Fe+2 + 2OH-

when Fe(OH)2 give 1 mole of Fe+2 & 2 mol of OH-
so we can assume [Fe+2] = X and [OH-] = 2 X
when Ksp = [Fe+2][OH-]^2
and have Ksp = 4.87x10^-17
[Fe+2]= X
[OH-] = 2X
so by substitution
4.87x10^-17 = X*(2X)^2
∴X^3 = 4.8x10^-17 / 4
∴the molar solubility X = 2.3x10^-6 M

A boy swings a rubber ball attached to a string over his head in a horizontal, circular path. The piece of string is 1.15 m long

gregori [183]

Answer:

v = 16.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the string, l = 1.15 m

The ball makes 137 complete turns each minute.

We know that, 1 turn = 6.28 rad

137 turns = 860.79 rad

1 min = 60 s

$\omega=\dfrac{860.79\ rad}{60\ s}\\\\=14.34\ rad/s$

We need to find the tangential velocity of the ball. It can be given by

$v=r\omega\\\\=1.15\times 14.34\\\\v=16.49\ m/s$

So, the tangential velocity of the ball is 16.49 m/s.

Why does distillation produce pure water but filtration does not?

ASHA 777 [7]

Filtration is used to separate large particles but this process does not provide pure solutions as some impurities still remain in the solution. On the other hand, distillation helps in the formation of pure water as it removes the impurities from the water or solution.

There is water on the pan of the scale as you measure the mass of an object. If you were to ignore the water, what would be the

mihalych1998 [28]

Remember that density refers to the "mass per unit volume" of an object.

So, if an object had a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 100 milliliters, the density would be 100 grams / 100 ml.

In the question, water on the surface of the scale would add weight, so the mass of the object that you're weighing would appear to be heavier than it really is. If that happens, you'll incorrectly assume that the density is GREATER than it really is

As an example, suppose that there was 5 ml of water on the surface of the scale. Water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml) so the water would add 5 grams to the object's weight. If we use the example above, the mass of the object would seem to be 105 grams, rather than 100 grams. So, you would calculate:

density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml

The effect on density would be that it would erroneously appear to be greater

Hope this helps!

Good luck
