Answer:

2.90 × 10⁻³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

pH: 1.80

Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.086 M

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -1.80

[H⁺] = 0.0158 M

Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]² / Ca

Ka = 0.0158² / 0.086

Ka = 2.90 × 10⁻³

Answer:

15.95

Explanation:

This question is a modification of the calculation of  the empirical formula of a compound given its percent composition and atomic weights of the elements in the compound.

Here we are given the formula and the percent composition, so we know that there are 4 atoms of E per 2 atoms of N so lets solve using the information given.

In 100 grams of the binary compound we have

30.46 g N

69.54 g E

The number of moles is the mass divided by atomic weight:

mol N = 30.46 g / A.W N = 30.46 g / 14.00 g/mol = 2.18 mol N

mol E = 65.54 g / A.W E

Thus,

4 mol E/ 2 mol N = ( 69.54 g/ A.W E ) / 2.18

2  A.E = 65.54 g / 2.18  ⇒ A.W E = 69.54 g / ( 2 x 2.18 ) = 15.94 g

So the A.W is 15.94 g/mol which is close  the atomic weight of O.

10. When the pressure on a gas inetcases three times, by how much will the volume incrcase or decrease?
blagie [28]

Answer:The answer to this question comes from experiments done by the scientist Robert Boyle in an effort to improve air pumps. In the 1600's, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. when the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases. this relationship between pressure and volume is called Boyle's law.

Explanation: So, at constant temperature, the answer to your answer is: the volume decreases in the same ratio as the ratio of pressure increases.

BUT, in general, there is not a single answer to your question. It depend by the context.

For example, if you put the gas in a rigid steel tank (volume is constant), you can heat the gas, so provoking a pressure increase. But you won't get any change in volume.

Or, if you heat the gas in a partially elastic vessel (as a tire or a soccer ball) you will get both an increase of volume AND an increase of pressure.

FINALLY if you inflate a bubblegum ball, the volume will be increased without any change in pressure and temperature, because you have increased the NUMBER of molecules in the balloon.

There are many other ways to change volume and pressure of a gas that are different from the Boyle experiment.

State the periodic law, and explain its relation to electron configuration. (Use Na and K in your explanation.)
mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.
