Calculate the concentrations of h2so3, hso−3, so2−3, h3o+ and oh− in 0.025 m h2so3.

1 answer:

3 0

We will use this two reaction equation:

H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + HSO3- Ka1 = 1.3 x 10^-2

HSO3- + H2O ↔ H3O+ + SO3 2- Ka2= 6.3 x 10^-8

we will use the ICE table for the first equation:

H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + HSO3-

initial 0.025 0 0

change -X +X +X

Equ (0.025-X) X X

Ka1 = [H3O+] [HSO3-] / [H2SO3]

1.3 x 10^-2 = X^2 / (0.025 - X) by solving for X

∴ X = 0.0127

when [H3O+] = X

∴[H3O+] = 0.0127 M

and when [HSO3-] = X

∴[HSO3-] = 0.0127 M

and when [H2SO3] = 0.025 - X

∴[H2SO3] = 0.025 - 0.0127

= 0.0123 M

when Kw = [OH-][H3O+]

and Kw = 1.1 x 10^-14 / 0.0127

∴[OH-] = 1.1 x 10^-14 / 0.0127

= 8.66 x 10^-13 M

- by using the ICE table for the second equation:

HSO3- + H2O ↔ H3O+ + SO3 2-

initial 0.0127 0.0127 0

change -X +X +X

Equ (0.0127-X) (0.0127+X) X

when Ka2 = [SO32-] [H3O+] / [HSO3-]

by substitution:

6.3 x 10^-8 = X(0.0127+X) / (0.0127-X)

as the Ka2 is so small so we can assume that (0.01271 + X) & (0.01271-X) = 0.01271 and neglect X

6.3 x 10^-8 = 0.0127X /0.0127

∴X = 6.3 x 10^-8

when [SO3 2-] = X

∴[SO32-] = 6.3 x 10^-8

Anode definition: the positively charged electrode by which the electrons leave an electrical device.

Electrode definition: a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region.

Cations attracted to cathode pick up electrons

Anions attracted to anode release electrodes+

Reduction at Cathode (red cat gain of e)

Oxidation at Anode (ox anode loss of e)

So from the diagram we can see that the charge is being generated through the 2 metal plates.

So the answer is A, the anode material is Pt and the half reaction is 2Cl- = Cl2 + 2e-

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

Answer: The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Explanation:

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$
