Answer:- Ka=9*10^-^5

Solution:- percent ionization = (\frac{x}{c})100

where, x is the equilibrium concentration of product ion and c is the initial concentration of the acid.

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

3.0=(\frac{x}{0.10})100

x=\frac{3.0*0.10}{100}

x=0.003

In general, the acid is represented as HA, the ice table is shown as:

    HA(aq)      \leftrightharpoons H^+(aq)   +A^-(aq)

I            0.10                                             0             0

C           -X                                               +X             +X

E         (0.10 - X)                                         X               X

where X is the change in concentration that we already have find out using percentage ionization formula.

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

Let's plug in the values in it:

Ka=\frac{(0.003)^2}{(0.1-0.003)}

0.003 is almost negligible as compared to 0.10, so (0.10 - 0.003) could be taken as 0.10.

Ka=\frac{(0.003)^2}{(0.01)}

Ka=9*10^-^5

Second choice is the right one.

Which state of matter is Na OH(s)​
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

SOLID

Sodium hydroxide exists in the solid phase at room temperature. You would find it in the lab as hemispherical white solid pellets. The phase of a substance depends on temperature and pressure. As you heat a solid, it will melt and change to the liquid phase.

Percentage yield of sodium peroxide if 5 g of sodium oxide produces 5.5 g of sodium peroxide
Rama09 [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

87.40 %

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Percent yield of a product

We are given;

Mass of Sodium oxide 5 g

Experimental or Actual yield of sodium peroxide IS 5.5 g

We are required to calculate the percent yield of sodium peroxide;

The equation for the reaction that forms sodium peroxide is

2Na₂O + O₂ → 2Na₂O₂

<h3>Step 1; moles of sodium oxide</h3>

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of sodium oxide is 61.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles = 5 g ÷ 61.98 g/mol

          = 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 2: Theoretical moles of sodium peroxide produced </h3>

From the equation, 2 moles of sodium oxide produces 1 mole of sodium peroxide.

Thus, moles of sodium peroxide used is 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 3: Theoretical mass of sodium peroxide used</h3>

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of sodium peroxide = 77.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass = 0.0807 moles × 77.98 g/mol

                            = 6.293 g

Theoretical mass of Na₂O₂ is 6.293 g

<h3>Step 4: Percent yield of Na₂O₂</h3>
  • We know that percent yield is given by the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.

Percent yield=(\frac{Actual yield}{theoretical yield})100

Percent yield(Na_{2}O_{2})=(\frac{5.5g}{6.293g})100

                       = 87.40 %

Therefore, the percentage yield of sodium peroxide is 87.4%

How does concentration affect our daily lives in science?​
statuscvo [17]

1. <em>Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period. </em>

<em>2. Physical state of the reactants and surface area.</em>
