Chemical reaction (dissociation) 1: C₂O₄H₂(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 2: C₂O₄H⁻(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
c(C₂O₄H⁻) = c(H⁺) = x.
c(C₂O₄H₂) = 0.0269 M.
pKa₁ = 1.23.
Ka₁ = 10∧(-1.23) = 0.059.
Ka₁ = c(C₂O₄H⁻) · c(H⁺) / c(C₂O₄H₂).
0.059 = x² / (0.0269 M - x).
Solve quadratic eqaution: x = c(H⁺) = 0.02 M.
pH = -log(0.02 M) = 1.7.

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.

Nitrogen and water react to form nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen, like this: N2(g) + 2H2O(g) → 2NO(g) +2H2(g) Also, a chemist fin
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Kc for this reaction is 0.43

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium:

N₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) → 2NO(g) +2H₂(g)

And we have all the concentration at equilibrium:

N₂: 0.25M

H₂ : 1.3M

NO: 0.33M

H₂: 1.2M

They are ok, because they are in MOLARITY. (mol/L)

Let's make the expression for Kc

Kc = ( [NO]² . [H₂]² ) / ([N₂] . [H₂O]²)

Kc = (0.33² . 1.2²) / (0.25 . 1.2²)

Kc = 0.4356

In two significant digits. 0.43

Which carbon atom(s) of pyruvate is(are) first converted to carbon dioxide by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?
lilavasa [31]

The carbon atom(s) of pyruvate is(are) first converted to carbon dioxide by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the second number of carbon of pyruvate goes to oxidation and convert it to CO2 in Krebs cycle.

<h3>what is Krebs cycle ?</h3>

Krebs cycle is also known as citric acid cycle it is the conversion of sugar to the direct energy in the form of ATP which further goes to mitochondria as it is the power house of the human cell.

Pyruvate molecule release second number carbon from the chain and undergoes oxidation to form the CO2.

Therefore, second number carbon atom will converts to carbon dioxide.
