Trichloroacetic acid (HC2Cl3O2) is a corrosive acid that is used to precipitate proteins. The pH of a 0.072 M solution of trichl

oroacetic acid is the same as the pH of a 0.057 M HCl solution. Calculate Ka for trichloroacetic acid.

Answer:

Explanation:

HCl is strong acid, hence 0.04M of acid

= 0.057 M of H+

pH = -log [H+]

= -log [0.057]

= 1.244

Let the dissociation of trichloroacetic acid be:

HClO4 --> H^+ + ClO4^-

HA --> H+ + A-

0.072 - x x x

[H+] = 0.057 M

[HA] = 0.072 - 0.057

= 0.015 M

[H+] = [A-] = 0.057

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

= (0.057^2)/(0.015)

= 0.217

= 0.22.

.400 moles of CO2 gas are confined in a 5.00-liter container at 25 °C. Calculate the pressure exerted in atmospheres and mm Hg.
solong [7]

The pressure exerted by 0.400 moles of carbon dioxide in a 5.00 Liter container at 25 °C would be 1.9563 atm or  1486.788 mm Hg.

<h3>The ideal gas law</h3>

According to the ideal gas law, the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is a constant.

This can be mathematically expressed as:

pv = nRT

Where:

p = pressure of the gas

v = volume

n = number of moles

R = Rydberg constant (0.08206 L•atm•mol-1K)

T = temperature.

In this case:

p is what we are looking for.

v = 5.00 L

n = 0.400 moles

T = 25 + 273

 = 298 K

Now, let's make p the subject of the formula of the equation.

p = nRT/v

  = 0.400 x 0.08206 x 298/5

  = 1.9563 atm

Recall that: 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Thus:

1.9563 atm = 1.9563 x 760 mm Hg

                   = 1486.788 mm Hg

In other words, the pressure exerted by the gas in atm is 1.9563 atm and in mm HG is 1486.788 mm Hg.

What is the overall charge of an atom with 18 protons, 18 neutrons, and 19 electrons?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

as no. of protons is equals to the no. of electrons so, it is a neutral atom.

but, as Atomic No. = Mass No. - No. of neutrons

Atomic No. = No. of protons = 18

so, Mass No. = Atomic No. + No. of Neutrons= 18 + 20 = 38

so, correct option is C.

How did the mass change when the copper coin was made to look silver?
il63 [147K]

We have that The  the mass change when the copper coin was made to look silver is an increase in mass

Correct option C

It increased.

It is important to note that the copper coin after its cutting into shape will have a specific mass or weight and the silver coating solution will also have a net value of mass or weight

Therefore

The  the mass change when the copper coin was made to look silver is an increase in mass

Correct option C

It increased.
