Answer:

6.24

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Concentration of HA, [HA] = 0.280 M,

Concentration of H+, [H+] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Concentration of A-, [A−] = 4×10¯⁴ M

pKa =.?

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HA <===> H+ + A-

Next, we shall determine the equilibrium constant Ka for the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Equilibrium constant for a reaction is simply the ratio of concentration of the product raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactant raised to their coefficient.

The equilibrium constant for the above equation is given below:

Ka = [H+] [A−] /[HA]

Concentration of HA, [HA] = 0.280 M,

Concentration of H+, [H+] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Concentration of A-, [A−] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Equilibrium constant (Ka) =

Ka = (4×10¯⁴ × 4×10¯⁴) / 0.280

Ka = 1.6×10¯⁷/ 0.280

Ka = 5.71×10¯⁷

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 5.71×10¯⁷

Finally, we shall determine the pka for the reaction as follow:

Equilibrium constant, Ka = 5.71×10¯⁷

pKa =?

pKa = – Log Ka

pKa = – Log 5.71×10¯⁷

pKa = 6.24

Therefore, the pka for the reaction is 6.24.

What are the differences between amorphous and crystalline solids? Give an example of each.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: orderly arrangement of particles

Explanation:

In a crystaline solid, the particles that compose the solid are arranged or packed in an orderly manner to form a three dimensional crystal lattice with a defined structure. Sodium chloride is a crystaline solid.

In an amorphous solid, the particles that compose the solid aren't arranged in an orderly manner hence the solid tends to be brittle, e.g glass

Can someone please help me on the second one? I have no idea what to do.
Aleks [24]

The reaction will produce 12.1 g Ag₂S.

<em>Balanced equation</em> = 2Ag + S ⟶ Ag₂S

<em>Mass of Ag₂S</em> = 10.5 g Ag × (1 mol Ag/107.87 g Ag) × (1 mol Ag₂S/2 mol Ag)

× (247.80 g Ag₂S/1 mol Ag₂S) = 12.1 g Ag₂S

Th e molar absorption coeffi cient of a substance dissolved in water is known to be 855 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 at 270 nm. To determine t
Olegator [25]

Answer : The percentage reduction in intensity is 79.80 %

Explanation :

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

A=\epsilon \times C\times l

A=\log \frac{I_o}{I}

\log \frac{I_o}{I}=\epsilon \times C\times l

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution = 3.25mmol.dm^{3-}=3.25\times 10^{-3}mol.dm^{-3}

l = path length = 2.5 mm = 0.25 cm

I_o = incident light

I = transmitted light

\epsilon = molar absorptivity coefficient = 855dm^3mol^{-1}cm^{-1}

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\log \frac{I_o}{I}=(855dm^3mol^{-1}cm^{-1})\times (3.25\times 10^{-3}mol.dm^{-3})\times (0.25cm)

\log \frac{I_o}{I}=0.6947

\frac{I_o}{I}=10^{0.6947}=4.951

If we consider I_o = 100

then, I=\frac{100}{4.951}=20.198

Here 'I' intensity of transmitted light = 20.198

Thus, the intensity of absorbed light I_A = 100 - 20.198 = 79.80

Now we have to calculate the percentage reduction in intensity.

\% \text{reduction in intensity}=\frac{I_A}{I_o}\times 100

\% \text{reduction in intensity}=\frac{79.80}{100}\times 100=79.80\%

Therefore, the percentage reduction in intensity is 79.80 %
