Answer : The activation energy for the reaction is, 119.7 J

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

or,

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_1 = rate constant at 271 K

K_2 = rate constant at 281 K = 2K_1

Ea = activation energy for the reaction = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1 = initial temperature = 271 K

T_2 = final temperature = 281 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\log (\frac{2K_1}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times 8.314J/mole.K}[\frac{1}{271K}-\frac{1}{281K}]

Ea=119.7J

Therefore, the activation energy for the reaction is, 119.7 J

Chromic acid (H2CrO4) is an acid that is used in ceramic glazes and colored glass. The pH of a 0.078 M solution of chromic acid
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Ka = 0.1815

Explanation:

Chromic acid

pH = ?

Concentration = 0.078 M

Ka = ?

HCl

conc. = 0.059M

pH = -log(H+)

pH = -log(0.059) = 1.23

pH of chromic acid = 1.23

Step 1 - Set up Initial, Change, Equilibrium table;

H2CrO4 ⇄  H+   +   HCrO4−

Initial - 0.078M 0   0

Change : -x    +x       +x

Equilibrium : 0.078-x    x      x

Step 2- Write Ka as Ratio of Conjugate Base to Acid

The dissociation constant Ka is [H+] [HCrO4−] / [H2CrO4].

Step 3 - Plug in Values from the Table

Ka = x * x / 0.078-x

Step 4 - Note that x is Related to pH and Calculate Ka

[H+] = 10^-pH.

Since x = [H+] and you know the pH of the solution,

you can write x = 10^-1.23.

It is now possible to find a numerical value for Ka.

Ka =  (10^-1.23))^2 / (0.078 - 10^-1.23) = 0.00347 / 0.0191156

Ka = 0.1815

Calculate the pH at the equivalence point for the titration of 0.110 M methylamine (CH3NH2) with 0.110 M HCl. The Kb of methylam
nikklg [1K]
The reaction between the reactants would be:

CH₃NH₂ + HCl ↔ CH₃NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

Let the conjugate acid undergo hydrolysis. Then, apply the ICE approach.

             CH₃NH₃⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃NH₂
I                0.11                       0             0
C               -x                          +x           +x
E            0.11 - x                     x             x

Ka = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]

Since the given information is Kb, let's find Ka in terms of Kb.

Ka = Kw/Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴

So,
Ka = 10⁻¹⁴/5×10⁻⁴ = 2×10⁻¹¹ = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
2×10⁻¹¹ = [x][x]/[0.11-x]
Solving for x,
x = 1.483×10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

Since pH = -log[H₃O⁺],
pH = -log(1.483×10⁻⁶)
<em>pH = 5.83</em>
