Missing in your question Ka2 =6.3x10^-8
From this reaction:
H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + HSO3-
by using the ICE table :
H2SO3 ↔ H3O + HSO3-
intial 0.6 0 0
change -X +X +X
Equ (0.6-X) X X
when Ka1 = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
So by substitution:
1.5X10^-2 = (X*X) / (0.6-X) by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.088
∴[H2SO3] = 0.6 - 0.088 = 0.512
[HSO3-] = [H3O+] = 0.088
by using the ICE table 2:
HSO3- ↔ H3O + SO3-
initial 0.088 0.088 0
change -X +X +X
Equ (0.088-X) (0.088+X) X
Ka2= [H3O+] [SO3-] / [HSO3-]
we can assume [HSO3-] = 0.088 as the value of Ka2 is very small
6.3x10^-8 = (0.088+X)*X / 0.088
X^2 +0.088 X - 5.5x10^-9= 0 by solving this equation for X
∴X= 6.3x10^-8
∴[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.3x10^-8
= 0.088 m ( because X is so small)
∴PH= -㏒[H3O+]
= -㏒ 0.088 = 1.06
Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
