A solution of 2.9 m weak acid is 0.52 ionized. what is the ka value of this acid

Chemistry

AveGali [126]3 years ago
6 0
We can get the Ka value from this formula:

Ka = [H+] [A-} / [HA] 

So we need to know [H+] & [A-] & [Ha] to get the Ka value

[H+] = 2.9 * 0.52/100 =0.01508 M

and when [H+] = [A-]
∴[A-] = 0.01508 M

∴ [HA] = 2.9 - 0.01508 = 2.88 M
So by substitution:

Ka = [0.01508][0.01508] / 2.88
     = 7.9 x 10^-5

Which missing item would complete this alpha decay reaction?<br><br> 257/100 Fm= ________+4/2He
maria [59]

Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf

253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.

Explanation:

1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).

2) Therefore:

i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.

2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.

3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.

4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:

₉₈²⁵³ Cf.

5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:

₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He

You can verify the mass balance:

257 = 253 + 4, and

100 = 98 + 2

Help please! -A compound contains 0.013 moles of carbon, 0.039 moles of hydrogen and 0.0065 moles of oxygen. Determine the empir
stepan [7]

A) C2H6O1

To find the emperical formula, divide each mole value by the smallest

For carbon, 0.013/0.0065 = 2

For hydrogen, 0.038/0.0065= 6

For oxygen, 0.0065/0.0065= 1

Emperical formula = C2H6O1
