The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are calledisotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons.

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th

Tpy6a [65]

$pH = 13.5$

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the acid dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the base dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :

$[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b = 10^{-pK_{b}}$

$x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}$

$x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}$

$[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}$

$pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5$

How to prepare super saturated solution of copper sulphate ? Explain the experiment

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Monitor the temperature of the water with the thermometer. Stop heating the water once it nears the boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. Add copper(II) sulfate and stir until the heated solution is saturated. When the solution is saturated, copper(II) sulfate will not dissolve anymore

solmaris [256]

Abiotic factors, also called abiotic components, are non-living parts of the environment which affects the living organisms and their function in the ecosystem. I think the correct answer is A. Wind factor is the only non-living part from the choices.

puteri [66]

Answer:

Elimination
Elimination
Zaitsev
Zaitsev
Carbocation

Explanation:

The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.

The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product

The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds
