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

1. Which of the following statements is a consequence of the equation E=MC2
finlep [7]

Answer:

D. All of the above​

Explanation:

E = MC² is a common equation in physics.

E is energy

M is mass

C is the speed of light

The law was stated by Albert Einstein.

  • From this law, it was shown that energy is released when matter is destroyed.
  • Mass and energy are equivalent as seen in nuclear reactions where mass is converted to energy.
  • Mass and energy is usually conserved in any process and this is a subtle modification of the law of conservation of matter and energy.
  • Most of these postulates apply to nuclear reactions which generally do not follow some precepts of chemical laws.

The chemical equation is said to be balanced if the number of atoms in the reactants and products is the same

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equation balanced ⇒ total number of atoms in reactants(on the left)= total number of atoms in products(on the right)

H₂+O₂---> H₂O

Reactants : H₂, O₂

Products : H₂O

not balanced

H₂O₂ ---> H₂O+O₂

Reactants : H₂O₂

Products : H₂O, O₂

not balanced

Na+O₂ ---> Na₂O

Reactants : Na, O₂

Products :  Na₂O

not balanced

N₂+H₂ ---> NH₃

Reactants : N₂, H₂

Products :  NH₃

not balanced

P₄+O₂---> P₄O₁₀

Reactants : P₄, O₂

Products :  P₄O₁₀

not balanced

Fe+H₂O ----> Fe₃O₄ + H₂

Reactants : Fe, H₂O

Products :  Fe₃O₄

not balanced

Explain how the equation for GPE = force x distance.
Mkey [24]
GPE is the gravitational Potential Energy which is given by mgh.

mg is the gravitational force(a force) and h is the height of the object(or distance of the object from earth's surface)

SO GPE = mg (force) x h (distance)

By means of a schematic diagram show how a bacteria cell applied to the region of a cowpea root can end up becoming a nitrate io
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Nitrifying Bacteria are a group of aerobic bacteria important in the nitrogen cycle as converters of soil ammonia to nitrates, compounds usable by plants. An example is nitrosomonas or nitrobacter and species in that family.

The schematic diagram is attached below, which summarises the oxidation of ammonia or free nitrogen in the soil to nitrates for the cowpea plant's utilisation.
