Ka is the acid-dissociation constant of each of these acids. It represents the proportion of a given amount of the acid that dissociates from the acid into H+ and it’s conjugate base when dissolved into solution.

The concentration of H+ determines the strength of the acids, so those acids with the biggest Ka values are the strongest acids.

Your order would be:
Aspirin (strongest)
Benzoic
Hydrocyanic (weakest)

The volume of a gas that occupies 9 L at a temperature of 325K is 12.46L.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a given gas can be calculated using the following Charle's law equation:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where;

T1 = initial temperature
T2 = final temperature
V1 = initial volume
V2 = final volume

V1 = 9L
V2 = ?
T1 = 325K
T2 = 450K

9/325 = V2/450

325V2 = 4050

V2 = 4050/325

V2 = 12.46L

Therefore, the volume of a gas that occupies 9 L at a temperature of 325K is 12.46L.

O=16.00×1=16.00u

Cl=35.5×1=35.5u

molar mass of CHOCl=12.01+1+16.00+35.5=64.5u

n= $\frac{129}{64.5}$

<u><em>n=2</em></u>

Molecular formula=2(CHOCl)

C=12.01 × 2= 24.02u

Tl=204.3×1=204.3u

H=1×2=2u

O=16.00×3=48.00

n=104.08÷78.0

<em><u>n=1</u></em>

Molecular formula = n(Empirical formula)

Therefore the molecular formula of a compound is $C_{8}H_{8}$

7. Given:

mass of oxide of nitrogen=108g

mass of nitrogen=4.02g

mass of oxygen=11.48g

moles of nitrogen= $\frac{4.04}{14.01}$ = 0.289 moles

moles of oxygen= $\frac{11.46}{15.999}$ =0.716 moles

We divide through by the lowest molar quantity to give an empirical formula of $N_{2} O{5}$ .

Now the molecular formula is multiple of the empirical formula.

So,

108 = n × (2×14.01 + 5×15.999)

Clearly,n=1, and the molecular formula is $N_{2}O_{5}$ .

What mass of natural gas (ch4) must you burn to emit 272 kj of heat?

balandron [24]

CH4 + 2 O2 ---> CO2 + 2 H2O Q = 891,6 kJ / mol CH4

1 mol CH4 = 16 g

16 g ---- 891,6 kJ
x g ----- 272 kJ

x = 272 kJ × 16 g / 891,6 kJ = 4,88 g

You must burn 4,88 g of CH4.

The half life of oxygen is 2 minutes. What fraction of a sample of 0.15 will remain after 5 half lives?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3.13%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Half life (t½) = 2 mins

Number of half-life (n) = 5

Fraction of sample remaining =.?

Next, we shall determine the amount remaining (N) after 5 half-life. This can be obtained as follow:

Amount remaining (N) = 1/2ⁿ × original amount (N₀)

NOTE: n is the number of half-life.

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 0.15

N = 1/32 × 0.15

N = 0.15/32

N = 4.69×10¯³

Therefore, 4.69×10¯³ is remaining after 5 half-life.

Finally, we shall the fraction of the sample remaining after 5 half-life as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Amount remaining (N) = 4.69×10¯³

Fraction remaining = N/N₀ × 100

Fraction remaining = 4.69×10¯³/0.15 × 100

Fraction remaining = 3.13%
