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

A photon of light possesses 5 x 10^-19 J of energy. Calculate its frequency
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J

Frequency of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula;

E = hf

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

5×10⁻¹⁹ J =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×f

f =  5×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

f = 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.

How are the digestive system and the urinary system similar?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

While the digestive system collects and removes undigested solids, the excretory system filters compounds from the blood stream and collects them in urine. They are closely connected in controlling the amount of water in your body.

Would the solubility for a substance increase by dissolving the solute with more water?
garik1379 [7]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

With more water, the molecules of the substance have more water molecules to form bonds with, thus they are dissolved even faster at that same particular temperature.

For example: a mildly soluble substance like powdered milk get more dissolved in your teacup as water, the solvent is increased
