The ph of a solution containing 0.818 M acetic acid<br> (ka1.76*10-5) ans 0.172 M sodium acetate is?
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and pK_{a} is as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

and,     pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

Hence, first we will calculate the value of pK_{a} as follows.

                   pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

                               = -log (1.76 \times 10^{-5}

                               = 4.75

Now, we will calculate the value of pH as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[\text{sodium acetate}]}{\text{acetic acid}}

                    = 4.75 + log \frac{0.172}{0.818}      

                    = 4.75 + (-0.677)

                    = 4.07

Therefore, we can conclude that the pH of given solution is 4.07.

Identify the balanced chemical equation that represents a single displacement reaction. CF4 2Br2 ⟶ CBr4 2F2 3H2SO4 2Al ⟶ Al2(SO4
Simora [160]

Answer:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃  → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

Explanation:

                           3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃  → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

In this type of reaction, one substance is replacing another:

                      A + BC  →  AC + B

In a single displacement reaction, atoms replace one another based on the activity series. Elements that are higher in the activity series. Also, if the element that is to replace the other in a compound is more reactive the reaction will occur. If it is less reactive, there will be no reation.

In the first equation, fluorine is more reactive than bromine. Therefore, bromine cannot replace bromine.

In the second equation, the displacement is between hydrogen and aluminium. Hydrogen is lower in the activity series, this implies that aluminum will replace it.

Uranium has an atomic weight of 238 amu.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

U= 238g/mol

U2O5= 556g/mol

Explanation:

Since U= 238

O=16

U3O5= 2(238)+3(16)=556g/mol

Draw the best Lewis structure for CH 3 -1. What is the formal charge on the C?
djyliett [7]

Answer :  The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3^{-1}

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3^{-1} = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1

The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.
