Determine the [h3o+] of a 0.210 m solution of formic acid.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago
3 0
When the Pka for formic acid = 3.77
and Pka = -㏒ Ka 
   3.77 = -㏒ Ka
∴Ka = 1.7x10^-4 

when Ka = [H+][HCOO-}/[HCOOH]

when we have Ka = 1.7x10^-4 &[HCOOH] = 0.21 m
so by substitution: by using ICE table value
1.7x10^-4 = X*X / (0.21-X)
(1.7x10^-4)*(0.21-X) = X^2      by solving this equation for X

∴X = 0.0059
∴[H+] = 0.0059
∴PH= -㏒ [H+]
       = -㏒ 0.0059
       = 2.23

A flashbulb of volume 2.70 mL contains O2(g) at a pressure of 2.30 atm and a temperature of 30.0 °C. How many grams of O2(g) doe
Sholpan [36]
P = 2.30 atm

Volume in liter = 2.70 mL / 1000 => 0.0027 L

Temperature in K = 30.0 + 273 => 303 K

R = 0.082 atm

molar mass O2 = 31.9988 g/mol

number of moles O2 :

P * V = n * R* T

2.30 * 0.0027 = n * 0.082 * 303

0.00621 = n * 24.846

n = 0.00621 / 24.846

n = 0.0002499 moles of O2

Mass of O2:

n = m / mm

0.0002499 = m / 31.9988

m = 0.0002499 * 31.9988

m = 0.008 g

why do we heat the test tube in a glass beaker during a chemistry experiment and not directly over a flame?
bearhunter [10]
It is not directly over a flame because it depends on the substance you might not want to heat it too much.you never know what could happen

You have 15.42g of C2H6. How many moles of H2O can be made?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The moles of water produced are 1.54 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethane = 15.42 g

Molar mass of ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ethane}=\frac{15.42g}{30.07g/mol}=0.513mol

The chemical equation for the combustion of ethane follows:

2C_2H_6+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO2+6H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of ethane produces 6 moles of water

So, 0.513 moles of ethane will produce = \frac{6}{2}\times 0.513=1.54mol of water

Hence, the moles of water produced are 1.54 moles.

Enzymes work by _____. enzymes work by _____. decreasing the potential energy difference between reactant and product adding ene
Anton [14]
The appropriate answer is they decrease the potential energy difference between reactant and product. They do this by bringing products and reactants together at the active site on the enzyme molecule. Enzymes are biological catalysts. They increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction itself. So one molecule of an enzyme is used many times to catalyze the reaction of other molecules.
