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

Suppose a solution is prepared by dissolving 15.0 g NaOH in 0.150 L of 0.250 M nitric acid. What is the final concentration of O
Kipish [7]

Answer:

2.25 M is the final concentration of hydroxide ions ions in the solution after the reaction has gone to completion.

Explanation:

Moles of NaOH = \frac{15.0 g}{40 g/mol}=0.375 mol

Molarity of the nitric acid solution = 0.250 M

Volume of the nitric solution = 0.150 L

Moles of nitric acid = n

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}

n=0.250 M\times 0.150 L=0.0375 mol

NaOH+HNO_3\rightarrow NaNO_3+H_2O

According to reaction, 1 mole of nitric acid recats with 1 mole of NaOH, then 0.0375 moles of nitric acid will react with :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0375 mol of NaOH

Moles of NaOH left unreacted  in the solution =

= 0.375 mol - 0.0375 mol = 0.3375 mol

NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

1 mole of sodium hydroxide gives 1 mol of sodium ions and 1 mole of hydroxide ions.

Then 0.3375 moles of NaOH will give :

1\times 0.3375 moles=0.3375 mol of hydroxide ion

The molarity of hydroxide ion in solution ;

=\frac{0.3375 mol}{0.150 L}=2.25 M

2.25 M is the final concentration of hydroxide ions ions in the solution after the reaction has gone to completion.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. consider the substances hydrogen (h2), fluorine (f2), and hydrogen fluoride
nasty-shy [4]

The boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of H_2, and it is higher than the boiling point of F_2.

<h3>What is the boiling point?</h3>

The boiling point is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equalled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid.

F_2 has weak dispersion force attractions between its molecules, whereas liquid HF has strong ionic interactions between H^+ and F^- ions.

Only London Forces are formed - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than in the other hydrogen halides and so HF has a higher boiling point.

H_2 and F_2 will only have intra-molecular attractions and there will be no hydrogen bonds present in them. As a result, their boiling point will be lower.

Hence, the boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of H_2, and it is higher than the boiling point of F_2.

The fluid in a barometer (shown above) is mercury, Hg. Why point
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Mercury responds to temperatures differently than water. When mercury is cold, the molecules bunch together, making it seem to be less liquid, and the opposite happens during heat.

Hope this helps!

For the reaction CO2(g) + H2(g)CO(g) + H20(g)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The ΔG° is 29 kJ and the reaction is favored towards reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ΔH°rxn or enthalpy change is 41.2 kJ, the ΔS°rxn or change in entropy is 42.1 J/K or 42.1 * 10⁻³ kJ/K. The temperature given is 289 K. Now the Gibbs Free energy change can be calculated by using the formula,  

ΔG° = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn

= 41.2 kJ - 289 K × 42.1 × 10⁻³ kJ/K

= 41.2 kJ - 12.2 kJ

= 29 kJ

As ΔG° of the reaction is positive, therefore, the reaction is favored towards reactant.
