Physical Meaning of pKa Which of the following aqueous solutions has the lowest pH: 0.1 M HCl; 0.1 M acetic acid (pKa = 4.86); 0

.1 M formic acid (pKa = 3.75)?

3 0

Answer:

<em>The solution with the lowest pH is 0.1 M HCl.</em>

Explanation:

Since the three solutions have the same concentration (0,1M) it is only necessary to look at the pKa of each solution.

Also, knowing that a higher pKa means a lower Ka, because pKa = -Log (Ka). Thus, a lower Ka means a lower concentration of protons with a higher pH ( pH = -Log [H+].

The HCl doesn't have a pKa because is a strong acid that dissociates completely. Therefore, this solution produces a lower pH. Looking at the pKa of acetic acid and formic acid solutions, the second with the lowest pH is the formic acid solutions and the higher pH is for the acetic acid solution.

Student A performed gravimetric analysis for sulfate in her unknown using the same procedures we did . Results of her three tria
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The answer is Sodium Sulfate = Na2SO4  

Explanation:

Molar mass of sulfate = 1 (S) + 4 (O) = 1 (32) + 4 (16) = 32 + 64 = 96  

Molar mass of sodium sulfate = 2 (23) + 96 = 46 + 96 = 142  

% of Sulfate = (96/142)*100 = 67.6%  

Percent mistake in Studen A,  

(I) % mistake = (67.6 - 68.6)/67.6 = 1.48  

(ii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.2)/67.6 = 2.07  

(iii) % mistake = (67.6 - 67.1)/67.6 = 0.74  

For understudy B  

(I) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.7)/67.6 = 1.33  

(ii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.6)/67.6 = 1.48  

(iii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.5)/67.6 = 1.63  

Sutdent An is some how exact.  

Understudy B is exact however not precise.

How much energy is released when 65.8 g of water freezes
Delvig [45]

The amount of energy released is calculated by the product of heat of fusion and mass. The formula of amount energy released is given by: q= L\times m                (1)

Here,  

q is amount of energy released L is heat of fusion (334 J/g) m is mass of water Put all the given values in equation (1)

q= 334 J/g \times 65.8 g

q= 21977.2 Joules ≅ 21977 Joules

q= 21977 Joules

Thus, amount of energy released is 21977 Joules
