Answer:

Ka=6.43x10^{-5}

pKa=4.19

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the pH provides the concentration of hydrogen in its dissociation:

Naproxen\rightleftharpoons H^++Naproxen^-

Thus, such concentration is:

[H^+]=10^{-4.2}=6.31x10^{-5}M

Thus, the Ka, by means of the dissociation law of mass action:

Ka=\frac{(6.31x10^{-5})^2}{1.25x10^{-4}-6.31x10^{-5}}=6.43x10^{-5}

Hence the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(6.43x10^{-5})=4.19

Best regards.

Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph= -1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.

Which step accurately describes how to measure the final burette volume?
8090 [49]
To accurately measure the final volume of a solution in a burette, it is important that you read of the measurement in the lower meniscus like for water and for substances like mercury you read it on the upper meniscus. This is the standard way of reading volumes in laboratory apparatus. Also, it should be that the apparatus standing vertically in a plain surface.

At 25∘C, the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5(g), into NO2(g) and O2(g) follows first-order kinetics with k=3.4×10−5
Annette [7]

Answer:

4600s

Explanation:

2N_{2}O_{5}(g) - - -> 4NO_{2}(g) +O_{2}

For a first order reaction the rate of reaction just depends on the concentration of one specie [B] and it’s expressed as:

-\frac{d[B]}{dt}=k[B] - - -  -\frac{d[B]}{[B]}=k*dt

If we have an ideal gas in an isothermal (T=constant) and isocoric (v=constant) process.

PV=nRT we can say that P = n so we can express the reaction order as a function of the Partial pressure of one component.  

-\frac{d[P(B)]}{P(B)}=k*dt  

-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=k*dt

Integrating we get:

\int\limits^p \,-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=\int\limits^ t k*dt

-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])=k(t_{2}-t_{1})

Clearing for t2:

\frac{-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])}{k}+t_{1}=t_{2}

ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]=ln(650)=6.4769

ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o}]=ln(760)=6.6333

t_{2}=\frac{-(6.4769-6.6333)}{3.4*10^{-5}}+0= 4598.414s
