Answer:

pH = 2.32

Explanation:

H2A + H2O -------> H3O+ + HA-    

Ka2 is very less so i am not considering that dissociation.

now Ka = 8.0×10−5

            = [H3O+] [HA-] / [H2A]

lets concentration of H3O+ = X then above equation will be

8.0×10−5 = [X] [X] / [0.28 -X]

8.0×10−5 = X2 /  [0.28 -X]

X2 + 8.0×10−5 X - 2.24 x 10−5

solve the quardratic equation

X =0.004693 M

pH = -log[H+}

    = -log [0.004693]

    = 2.3285

    ≅2.32

pH = 2.32

What are the coefficients of the compounds after balancing the following equation and what type of reaction is this?
Oksana_A [137]

The coefficient of Fe would be 2, the coefficient of Cl2 would be 3, while the coefficient of FeCl2 would be 2.  

The balanced equation of the reaction would be as follows:

2Fe(S) + 3Cl_2 ---> 2FeCl_3(S)

Thus, the coefficients of Fe, Cl2, and FeCl3 respectively would be 2, 3, and 2.

In other words, 2 moles of Fe require 3 moles of Cl2 to produce 2 moles of FeCl3 in a complete reaction.

Consider the following equilibrium between N2O4 and NO2.[Heat is added to a brown 2 NO2 gas to yield a colorless N2O4 gas]Which
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a.Low temperature

Explanation

Equation of reaction:

2NO2 <==> N2O4(g) ∆H = +ve

To cause the reaction to become darker brown means to produce more of NO2 gas. That is backward reaction.

Since the reaction is endothermic, decrease in temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left thereby favouring backward reaction. This is in line with Me Chatelier's principle.

High pressure will rather favour forward reaction (it is not the right option).

How do Nitrate levels vary between tap water bottled water distilled water and outdoor water?
Ganezh [65]
  • The key difference between tap water and distilled water is that tap water may contain impurities whereas distilled water does not contain impurities. Water covers more than 70% of the earth' surface. Thus, there is less than 1% of water left for direct human use.
