Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong acid that is completely ionized in aqueous solutions of concentrations ranging from 1% to 10% (1.

50 M ). However, in more concentrated solutions, part of the nitric acid is present as un-ionized molecules of HNO3. For example, in a 50% solution (7.50 M ) at 25°C, only 33% of the molecules of HNO3 dissociate into H+ and NO3–. What is the value of Ka for HNO3?

Answer:

The value of the K_a of the nitric acid is 1.2.

Explanation:

The initial concentration of nitric acid = c = 7.50 M

1 mM =m 10^{-3} M

The dissociation constant of nitric acid =  K_a

Degree of dissociation of nitric acid = \alpha =33\%=0.33

HNO_3\rightleftharpoons NO_3^{-}+H^+

initially

c       0    0

At equilibrium

(c-cα)      cα   cα

The expression of dissociation constant :

K_a=\frac{[NO_3^{-}][H^+]}{[HNO_3]}

K_a=\frac{c\times \alpha \times c\times \alpha }{c-c\alpha}

K_a=\frac{c\times (\alpha )^2}{(1-\alpha )}

K_a=\frac{7.50 M\times (0.33)^2}{(1-0.33)}=1.2

The value of the K_a of the nitric acid is 1.2.

A metal entrance door swings freely in the winter, but when
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

This phenomenon occurs because the door, being metal and leading to changes in temperature, undergoes proportional and morphological changes, metals face expansion and expansion in the presence of heat, called thermal expansion.

On the other hand, against the cold, thermal contraction is suffered, that is why its volume decreases, and it contracts.

Explanation:

The expansion phenomenon of the door is not linear, since it increases its volume in width and height, therefore simultaneously on the entire surface.

When an area or surface expands, it does so by increasing its dimensions in the same proportion. For example, a metal sheet increases its length and width, which means an increase in area. Area dilation differs from linear dilation in that it involves an increase in area.

The area expansion coefficient is the increase in area that a body of a certain substance experiences, with an area equal to unity, as its temperature rises one degree centigrade. This coefficient is represented by the Greek letter gamma.

Regarding shrinkage, a clear example of this is when a metal foundry or a weld shrinks, sometimes it is difficult to understand with examples like these (doors) because it is little noticeable by our eyes and the dimensional changes for our perspective. it is infima.

Identify which two compounds below are constitutional isomers
Romashka [77]

Answer:

(CH₃)₃COCH3₃ and (CH₃)₂CHOCH₂CH₃

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds which have the same molecular formula. Constitutional isomers have different connectivity; the atoms are connected in different ways.

1. (CH₃)₃COCH₃

2. (CH₃)₂CHOCH3₃

3. (CH₃)₂CHOCH₂CH₃

Molecules 1 and 3 have the same formula (C₅H₁₂O) and are isomers. Molecule 2 is not an isomer. From the structural formula, it is clear that Molecules 1 and 3 have different connectivity.

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t
8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

 

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

 

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

Compare and contrast the concepts of average mass and relative mass. Which one is more accurate, and why? Why is the one you did
Brut [27]

Answer:

Relative and average atomic mass both describe properties of an element related to its different isotopes.

Explanation:However, relative atomic mass is a standardized number that's assumed to be correct under most circumstances, while average atomic mass is only true for a specific sample.
