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

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
just olya [345]

Answer

12

Explanation

We have a balanced chemical equation from the question that depicts the formation of water.

                                                  2H2+O2-->2H2O,


We can clearly see from the equation that, the formation of 2 moles of water molecules requires the input of 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen.

So indirectly, it tells that the moles of water molecules will be double of the moles of Oxygen molecules used in the reaction.

So if we say that 6 moles of oxygen is used and the reaction is going in such a way that hydrogen is not a limiting reactant, then 12 moles of water will be produced.


Hope it help!

Phosphorus atomic radius is smaller than magnesium atomic radius <br> True or false
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

<em>Hence, the atomic radius of phosphorus is smaller than the atomic radius of magnesium. Basically, the atomic radius of phosphorus is 98 pm while the atomic radius of magnesium is 145 pm.</em>

When KNO3 dissolved in water, what is the intermolecular attraction between NO3 ions
Snezhnost [94]
Ion-dipole forces

H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.
