Answer:

11.9 is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite.

Explanation:

Solution :  Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.150 M

Acid dissociation constant = k_a=4.5\times 10^{-4}

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of HNO_2 (weak acid) is,

                           HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+

initially conc.         c                       0         0

At eqm.              c(1-\alpha)                c\alpha        c\alpha

First we have to calculate the concentration of value of dissociation constant (\alpha ).

Formula used :

k_a=\frac{(c\alpha)(c\alpha)}{c(1-\alpha)}

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the value of dissociation constant (\alpha ).

4.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.150\alpha)(0.150\alpha)}{0.150(1-\alpha)}

4.5\times 10^{-4} - 4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha =0.150\alpha ^2

0.150\alpha ^2+4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha-4.5\times 10^{-4}=0

By solving the terms, we get

\alpha=0.0533

No we have to calculate the concentration of hydronium ion or hydrogen ion.

[H^+]=c\alpha=0.150\times 0.0533=0.007995 M

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.007995 M)

pH=2.097\approx 2.1

pH + pOH = 14

pOH =14 -2.1 = 11.9

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 11.9

How many grams of tin would occupy 5.5 L if it had a density of 7.265
lisabon 2012 [21]
In order to find the mass of tin with the given volume of 5.5 L and density of 7.265, we will use the formula
Density = Mass / Volume

We will just multiply both sides of the equation by the volume and we will get:
Mass = Volume x Density

We can now solve the problem by substituting the given.

Mass = 5.5 L x 7.265 g/L
Mass = 39.96 g

Answer: there are 39.96 grams of tin

Free Energy
ratelena [41]

Answer:

a) galvanic cell

b)electrolytic cell

c) i) K=6.27x10'34

ΔG°=198790 J

ii) K=3.58x10'-34

ΔG°= 191070 J

d) E°=0.278 v

ΔG°= -26827 J

Explanation:

a) There are two kinds of an electrochemical cell, the first is called "galvanic cells", and the second "electrolytic cell".

The fuel cells are capable of produce electric energy through chemical reactions. These reactions are often spontaneous. So, the galvanic cell has a negative value for Gibbs free energy.

b) The electrolytic cell increases the value of Gibbs energy, to positive values, due to the reactions are not spontaneous.

c) i) look image attached

ii) k = look image attached

ΔG° = -nFE° = - 6 X 95500 J/vmole x (-0.33 v)

ΔG° =-191070

d) E°= 0.0592 v/n x lg K

E°= 0.0592V / 1 X log 5.0X10'4

E°= 0.278 v

ΔG° = -nFE° = -1 x 96500 J/ vmole x 0.278v

ΔG° = -26827 J
