If the ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 8.4 × 10-6, what is the ph of a 0.45 m solution of this acid

Chemistry

Consider the acid to be HA so the equation for acid will be:

HA+H₂O---->H₃O⁺ +A⁻

Initial: 0.45 0 0 0

Final 0.45-x x x x

Kₐ= [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA]

= x²/0.45-x

8.4 × 10⁻⁶= x²/0.45-x

3.78× 10⁻⁶-8.4 × 10⁻⁶x=x²

On solving equation,

x= 0.0018

[H₃O⁺]=[A⁻]=x=0.0018

pH= -log[H₃O⁺]

= -log[0.0018]

= 2.74

Radium-221 has a half-life of 30 sec. How long will it take for 96% of a sample to decay?
monitta
We can calculate how long the decay by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.
</span><span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.
</span>
1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(30)
<span>k = 0.023
</span>
0.04Ao = Ao e^0.023(t)
<span>t = 140 sec</span>

A combustion reaction occurs between one molecule of methane (CHa) and two molecules of oxygen (O2).
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The total number of atoms make up the products :

D) 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 4 oxygen

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will produce CO₂ and H₂O compounds.

If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes)

For combustion of methane (CH₄) and two molecules of oxygen (O₂).

\tt CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

The number of atoms make up the products

CO₂ : 1 carbon, 2 oxygen

2H₂O : 4 hydrogen , 2 oxygen
