Theory- <span>a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

Scientific law- </span>a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe.

A scientific theory is an in depth explanation of a observed phenomena And scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. like when newton saw an apple fall form a tree he observed a phenomena which is called the law of gravity the law states that every time you drop an apple it will fall to the ground and the theory would explan why the apple falls to the ground.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction of carbon monoxide with water is 1.845. if 1.00 mol of each reactant is placed in a 2.

According to the equation:

and by using the ICE table:

             CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔   CO2(g) + H2(g)

initial     0.5            0.5                    0          0

change  -X              -X                   +X         +X
     
Equ       (0.5-X)       (0.5-X)                     X            X

when Kc = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2

by substitution:

1.845 = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2  by solving for X 

∴X = 0.26

∴ [CO2] = X = 0.26

satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Step 1;  NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l)

Step 2 ; CO2(g)

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) reaction occurs in two steps.

Step 1;  

  • A double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:
  • Equation;

NaHCO3(s)+ CH3COOH(l) → CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(l)

Step 2;

  • Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:

H2CO3(l) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)

If you have 100 ml of a 0.10 m tris buffer (pka 8.3) at ph 8.3 and you add 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl, what will be the new ph?
sukhopar [10]

The new pH is 7.69.

According to Hendersen Hasselbach equation;

The Henderson Hasselbalch equation is an approximate equation that shows the relationship between the pH or pOH of a solution and the pKa or pKb and the ratio of the concentrations of the dissociated chemical species. To calculate the pH of the buffer solution made by mixing salt and weak acid/base. It is used to calculate the pKa value. Prepare buffer solution of needed pH.

                       pH = pKa + log10 ([A–]/[HA])

Here, 100 mL  of  0.10 m TRIS buffer pH 8.3

                 pka = 8.3

         0.005 mol of TRIS.

∴  8.3 = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005]}{[0.005]}

<em>    </em>inverse log 0 = \frac{[B]}{[A]}

   \frac{[B]}{[A]} = 1

Given; 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl.

           pka = 8.3

           0.003 mol of HCL.

pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005-0.003]}{[0.005+0.003]}\\pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.002]}{[0.008]}\\\\pH = 8.3 + log {0.25}\\\\pH = 8.3 + (-0.62)\\pH = 7.69

Therefore, the new pH is 7.69.
