-they are inside the nucleus of an atom
- they have a relative charge of +1
- they have a relative mass of 1
The answer is D transition state. In the energy profile, the transition state is the highest point. For a reaction, the activation energy is the minimal energy needed to trigger a reaction. The reactants are the start of the reaction and the products are the end of the reaction.
Answer:
5.56 × 10⁻⁸
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.187 M
Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺
We will use the following expression.
pH = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3.99 = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ M
Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)
We will use the following expression.
![Ka = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} }{Ca} = \frac{(1.02 \times 10^{-4})^{2} }{0.187} = 5.56 \times 10^{-8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ka%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7BCa%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%281.02%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B0.187%7D%20%3D%205.56%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-8%7D)
because it has ns1 electron configuration like the alkali metals
Answers and Explanation:
a)- The chemical equation for the corresponden equilibrium of Ka1 is:
2. HNO2(aq)⇌H+(aq)+NO−2
Because Ka1 correspond to a dissociation equilibrium. Nitrous acid (HNO₂) losses a proton (H⁺) and gives the monovalent anion NO₂⁻.
b)- The relation between Ka and the free energy change (ΔG) is given by the following equation:
ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q
Where T is the temperature (T= 25ºc= 298 K) and R is the gases constant (8.314 J/K.mol)
At the equilibrium: ΔG=0 and Q= Ka. So, we can calculate ΔGº by introducing the value of Ka:
⇒ 0 = ΔGº + RT ln Ka
ΔGº= - RT ln Ka
ΔGº= -8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (4.5 10⁻⁴)
ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol
c)- According to the previous demonstation, at equilibrium ΔG= 0.
d)- In a non-equilibrium condition, we have Q which is calculated with the concentrations of products and reactions in a non equilibrium state:
ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q
Q= ((H⁺) (NO₂⁻))/(HNO₂)
Q= ( (5.9 10⁻² M) x (6.7 10⁻⁴ M) ) / (0.21 M)
Q= 1.88 10⁻⁴
We know that ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol, so:
ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q
ΔG= 19092.8 J/mol + (8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (1.88 10⁻⁴)
ΔG= -2162.4 J/mol
Notice that ΔG<0, so the process is spontaneous in that direction.
