List 3 scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid

A way to classify an acid as being weak is to determine how strongly the substance conducts electricity. If the acid or base conducts electricity strongly, it is a strong acid or base. If the acid or base conducts electricity weakly, it is a weak acid or base.

Answer:

3 scenarios:  

1. acetic acid, organic acid that comes from vinager

2. citric acid, that is present in some fruits

3. phosphoric acid , present in sodas

Explanation:

A weak acid is the one that partially transferres its proton (H+) to a water molecule ( partial dissociation), and usually a part of the original acid (HA) remains after the process of dissociation; that is why, a dissociation reaction of a weak acid is represented with an arrow of both ways.

HA ⇌ H^{+} +A^{-}

As we can see, the acetic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid are great examples of weak acid. Their pH is higher thanks to its low dissociation, and they can even be eaten in low concentrations.

You have 4.5 x 10^24 particles of C3H8. How many grams are present?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

33 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for these particle-mole-mass relationships problems, it is necessary for us to recall the following equivalence statement, based off the molar mass of the involved compound, C3H8, one mole of particles and the Avogadro's number:

1mol=44.11g=6.022x10^{23}molecules

In such a way, we can set up the following expression for the calculation of the mass in the given particles of propane:

4.5x10^{23}molecules*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molecules} *\frac{44.11g}{1mol}\\\\33g

Best regards!

A student notices that after two chemicals are mixed together the temperature of the mixture is higher than the temperature of t
swat32

Answer: exothermic

EXPLANATION: any process in which heat energy is released is called an exothermic process. For example burning of wood produces heat, so combustion of wood is an exothermic process.

When chemicals were not mixed they were at room temperature and when we mix them exothermic reaction took place and heat was released which raised the temperature of mixture.

Be sure to answer all parts. Calculate the pH of the following two buffer solutions: (a) 1.4 M CH3COONa/1.6 M CH3COOH. (b) 0.1 M
aalyn [17]

Answer:

a) pH = 4.68 (more effective)

b) pH =4.44.

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is obtained by Henderson Hassalbalch's equation.

The equation is:

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

a) pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

[salt] = [CH₃COONa] = 1.4 M

[acid] = [CH₃COOH] = 1.6 M

pH = 4.74 + log \frac{1.4}{1.6}= 4.68

This is more effective as there is very less difference in the concentration of salt and acid.

b) pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

[salt] = [CH₃COONa] = 0.1 M

[acid] = [CH₃COOH] = 0.2 M

pH = 4.74 + log \frac{0.1}{0.2}= 4.44

Which of the following is an incorrect way of rearranging the density formula:
goldenfox [79]
We know that density = mass /volume
so
mass=volume*density
volume=mass/density
so c is wrong
