How to find the Ka of an acid?

1 answer:

7 0

We know that acids have a pH of under 7.

We also need to:
Set up an ICE table for the chemical reaction. Solve for the concentration of H3O+ using the equation for pH Use the concentration of H3O+ to solve for the concentrations of the other products and reactants.

they are both types of passive transport which means they require no energy. They both work with the concentration gradient which means they go from a high concentration area to a low concentration area. The differences are simple diffusion just goes though the membrane of a cell while facilitated diffusion uses a protein channel

Simple diffusion: it is the process where molecules move from a area of high concentration to an are of lower concentration. There is no energy needed in simple diffusion. For example when sodium is highly concentration in a cell, it moves outside of the cell where sodium is less concentration. it takes no energy as simple diffusion is random and molecules move according to their concentration.

calculate the mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that could be formed when a solution containing 12.00g o

Leviafan [203]

Answer : The mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that formed could be, 9.3 and 10.5 grams respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $Na_3PO_4$ = 12.00 g

Mass of $CaCl_2$ = 10.0 g

Molar mass of $Na_3PO_4$ = 164 g/mol

Molar mass of $CaCl_2$ = 111 g/mol

Molar mass of $NaCl$ = 58.5 g/mol

Molar mass of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ = 310 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $Na_3PO_4$ and $CaCl_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }Na_3PO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na_3PO_4}{\text{Molar mass }Na_3PO_4}$

$\text{Moles of }Na_3PO_4=\frac{12.00g}{164g/mol}=0.0732mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }CaCl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }CaCl_2}{\text{Molar mass }CaCl_2}$

$\text{Moles of }CaCl_2=\frac{10.0g}{111g/mol}=0.0901mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$2Na_3PO_4+3CaCl_2\rightarrow 6NaCl+Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $CaCl_2$ react with 2 mole of $Na_3PO_4$

So, 0.0901 moles of $CaCl_2$ react with $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0901=0.0601$ moles of $Na_3PO_4$

From this we conclude that, $Na_3PO_4$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $CaCl_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NaCl$ and $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $CaCl_2$ react to give 6 mole of $NaCl$

So, 0.0901 mole of $CaCl_2$ react to give $\frac{6}{3}\times 0.0901=0.1802$ mole of $NaCl$
