1. Write out your first equation:

H2SO3 + H2O <----> H3O+ + HSO3-

2. Write out your expression for Ka1.

Ka1= [H3O+] [HSO3-] / [H2SO3]

3. Make your first ICE Table (Initial, Change, Equilibrium)

...[H2SO3] <-----> [H3O+] + [HSO3-]
I...0.60M...............0............. (a 0 should be here)
C...-X....................+X........ (a +X should be here... having a hard time showing)
E...0.60-X..............X............(a... X should be here)

We will be making products here, since we started with the reactant, so the products start out with nothing initially and have some number (X) added to each of them. There is only 1X added/subtracted since the mole to mole ratio is 1 to 1.

4. Plug in your equilibrium values into your expression for Ka1 and...

1.5 x10⁻² = (X)(X) / (0.60-X)

...solve for X. This will be a quadratic equation since you cannot use the small X approximation. For my equation, I got:

X² + 1.5x10⁻²X -- 0.009

You can work this through the quadratic formula, or if you have a graphing calc- typically a TI 83 or 84, you can press the MATH button, 0, and it will take you to an equation solver. Enter in your quadratic and press Enter. The next screen has your quadratic on the first line, an X= on the second line, and "bound= ..." on the last line. We only need the second line on this screen. For X= you will need to enter in .001 (or more zeros- I always enter in a handful just in case. 
Once you have entered in your number in for X= , hit "ALPHA" and Enter (which also means "solve").
It will spit out some decimal for you. DON'T forget to scroll ALL the way to the right on this line, where there is often an E-- #.

For my X, I got 0.088. You can now plug this back into your ICE table to get concentrations of all species present. You really only need the concentrations for H3O+ and HSO3- for this problem though.

5. Write out your second chemical equation and expression for Ka2. Since this is a diprotic acid, and we want to get all the H atoms off the acid, we're going to start this equation with the HSO3- that was a product of the first equation and dissolve it in water to get SO3 2-.

HSO3- + H2O <----> H3O+ + SO3 2-

Ka2= [H3O] [SO3 2-] / [HSO3-]

6. Make your second ICE table using your initial concentrations from your first ICE table, plug in your equilibrium values into your Ka2 expression, and solve for X.

...[HSO3] <-----> [H3O+] + [SO3 2-]
I...0.088M...........0.088M...... (a 0 here)
C...-X....................+X..........(... +X here)
E...0.088-X..........0.088+X..... (X here)

6.3x10⁻⁸ = (X) (0.088+X) / (0.088-X)

Note: Ka2 is really small and pretty insignificant when comparing to Ka1. You may want to use the small X approximation here for the -X on the bottom since it is so small that it doesn't make a dent to the number anyway, but either way you get:

X² + .088X -- 5.5x10⁻⁹ for your quadratic. Now solve for X.

X= 6.2x10⁻⁸ (also very small number)

[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.2x10⁻⁸ = 0.088M

<span> pH= -log (.088M) = 1.06 or 1.1 for 2 sig figs. </span>

Missing in your question Ka2 =6.3x10^-8
From this reaction:
 H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+  + HSO3-
by using the ICE table :
                H2SO3     ↔    H3O     +    HSO3- 
intial         0.6                     0                  0
change     -X                      +X                +X
Equ         (0.6-X)                  X                   X

when Ka1 = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
So by substitution:
1.5X10^-2 = (X*X) / (0.6-X) by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.088
∴[H2SO3] = 0.6 - 0.088 = 0.512
[HSO3-] = [H3O+] = 0.088

by using the ICE table 2:
                 HSO3-     ↔   H3O     +     SO3-
initial        0.088              0.088              0
change    -X                      +X                   +X
Equ         (0.088-X)          (0.088+X)          X

Ka2= [H3O+] [SO3-] / [HSO3-]
we can assume [HSO3-] =  0.088 as the value of Ka2 is very small
 6.3x10^-8 = (0.088+X)*X / 0.088
X^2 +0.088 X - 5.5x10^-9= 0 by solving this equation for X
∴X= 6.3x10^-8
∴[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.3x10^-8
               = 0.088 m ( because X is so small)
∴PH= -㏒[H3O+]
       = -㏒ 0.088 = 1.06

You need to prepare at 2.0 mL sample of a diluted drug for injection. The total amount of the drug to be injected in this 2.0 mL
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) The concentration of drug in the bottle is 9.8 mg/ml

b) 0.15 ml drug solution + 1.85 ml saline.

c) 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ mol/l

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The concentration of the drug in the bottle is 294 mg/ 30.0 ml = 9.8 mg/ml

b) The drug has to be administrated at a dose of 0.0210 mg/ kg body mass. Then, the total mass of drug that there should be in the injection for a person of 70 kg will be:

0.0210 mg/kg-body mass * 70 kg = 1.47 mg drug.

The volume of solution that contains that mass of drug can be calculated using the value of the concentration calculated in a)

If 9.8 mg of the drug is contained in 1 ml of solution, then 1.47 mg drug will be present in (1.47 mg * 1 ml/ 9.8 mg) 0.15 ml.

To prepare the injection, you should take 0.15 ml of the concentrated drug solution and (2.0 ml - 0.15 ml) 1.85 ml saline

c) In the injection there is a concentration of (1.47 mg / 2.0 ml) 0.735 mg/ml.

Let´s convert it to molarity:

0.735 mg/ml * 1000 ml/l * 0.001 g/mg* 1 mol/ 15000 g = 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ mol/l

How many moles are in 9.8 grams of calcium?
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>when the number of moles Ca = mass of Ca / molar mass of Ca.

and we can get the molar mass of Ca, it is = 40 g/mol

and we have already the mass of Ca (given) = 9.8 g

so, by substitution: the moles Ca = 9.8 g / 40 g/mol

                                                       = 0.245 moles</span>
