I do not know the specific "statement" that illustrates the difference between a chemical reaction and a nuclear reaction but i can explain it my way: A nuclear reaction is relitively larger than a chemical reaction. A nuclear reaction can cause far more and more severe damage than as a chemical can.

The Ka for formic acid (HCO2H) is 1.8 × 10-4. What is the pH of a 0.35 M aqueous solution of sodium formate (NaHCO2)?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

9.36

Explanation:

Sodium formate is the conjugate base of formic acid.

Also,

$K_a\times K_b=K_w$

$K_b$ for sodium formate is $K_b=\frac {K_w}{K_a}$

Given that:

$K_a$ of formic acid = $1.8\times 10^{-4}$

And, $K_w=10^{-14}$

So,

$K_b=\frac {10^{-14}}{1.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$K_b=5.5556\times 10^{-11}$

Concentration = 0.35 M

HCOONa ⇒ Na⁺ + HCOO⁻

Consider the ICE take for the formate ion as:

HCOO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HCOOH + OH⁻

At t=0 0.35 - -

At t =equilibrium (0.35-x) x x

The expression for dissociation constant of sodium formate is:

$K_{b}=\frac {[OH^-][HCOOH]}{[HCOO^-]}$

$5.5556\times 10^{-11}=\frac {x^2}{0.35-x}$

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.44×10⁻⁵ M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.44×10⁻⁵) = 4.64

pH + pOH = 14

So,

pH = 14 - 4.64 = 9.36

c) A substance has a high melting point and conducts electricity. What type of structure does it have

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Metallic structure

Explanation:

They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.

[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]

What is the principal difference between a strong and weak acid?

jekas [21]

a strong acid fully dissociates in water to form H+ ions in water while a weak acid only partially dissociates to form H+ ions in water
