At what pressure will CO2 dissolve in water?

1 answer:

5 0

Carbon dioxide is only slightly soluble in water. One liter of water dissolves about 1.4 gm of the gas at 25 degree Celsius. Chlorine and hydrogen sulphide are much more soluble in water. A solution of CO2 in water is called carbonic acid (H20 + CO2= H2CO3).

adoni [48]

Answer:

36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride

Explanation:

Mass percent is defined as one hundred times the ratio between the mass of a compound (In this case, Calcium), and the total mass of the sample:

Mass Percent = Mass compound / Total mass of the sample × 100

Computing the values of the problem:

Mass Percent = 0.690g / 1.912g * 100

Mass percent =

<h3>36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride</h3>

If acetic acid is the only acid that vinegar contains (ka=1.8×10−5), calculate the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

kicyunya [14]

Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.

$CH_{3}COOH \ \textless \ ---\ \textgreater \ H^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)

pH = 2.88 ==> $[H^{+}]$ = $10^{-2.88}$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

The change in Concentration Δ $[CH_{3}COOH]$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

  CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial   $moldm^{-3}$      $x$ 0 0

Change $moldm^{-3}$ -0.001 +0.001 +0.001

Equilibrium $moldm^{-3}$ $x$ - 0.001 0.001 0.001


Since the $k_{a}$ value is so small, the assumption
$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}$ can be made.

$k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}$

Solve for x to get the required concentration.

note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.

2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind

Sati [7]

Put the wood and excess oxygen in a closed container that contains some device that can create a spark (to start the reaction).

Determine the mass of container + contents.

Start the reaction and, after everything has cooled down, again determine the mass of container + contents.

If the two masses are the same, you have demonstrated that the reaction obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass.

An increase in which of the following would increase the boiling point of a liquid?

Doss [256]

Answer:

The boiling point increases with increased pressure up to the critical point, where the gas and liquid properties become identical.
