Hey there!

pH = - log [ H⁺ ] = 3.52

[ H⁺ ] = 10^-pH

[ H⁺] = 10^ ( -3.52 )

[H⁺] = 3.02*10⁻⁴ M

[HA] =0.175 M

Therefore:

Ka = [ H⁺]* [A⁻] / [ HA]

Ka = (3.02*10⁻⁴)² / 0.175

Ka = 9.1204*10⁻⁸ / 0.175

Ka = 5.2*10⁻⁷

Hope that helps!

For the chemical equation SO 2 ( g ) + NO 2 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − SO 3 ( g ) + NO ( g ) the equilibrium constant at a certain temperatur

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Moles of NO₂ = 0.158

Explanation:

SO 2 ( g ) + NO 2 ( g ) ⇄ SO 3 ( g ) + NO ( g )

According to the law of mass equation

$K_{c}$ = $\frac{[SO_{3} ][NO]}{[SO_{2}][NO_{2} ]}$

⇒ 3.10 = $\frac{(1.00)(1.00)}{(2.30) [NO_{2} ]}$ At equilibrium [SO₃] = [NO]

⇒ [NO₂] = $\frac{1}{6.3}$

⇒ [NO₂] = 0.158

So. number of moles of NO₂ at equilibrium added = 0.158

In principle, the equilibrium in the dehydration of an alcohol could be shifted to the right be removal of water. Why is this ta

Trava [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember that if we want to remove water from the reaction vessel we have to heat the vessel. So, we can convert the liquid water into gas water and we can remove it from the vessel. In this case, the products of dehydration for both molecules are (E)-4-methylpent-2-ene and cyclohexene with boiling points of 59.2 ºC and 89 ºC respectively. The boiling point of water is 100 ºC, therefore if we heat the vessel the products and water would leave the system, and the products would be lost.

See figure 1

Alex787 [66]

The correct answer is meiosis. Meiosis is a process where a cell divides into two where these cells contain half of the genetic information from the original cell. Meiosis produces daughter cells containing 50% information from the mother and 50% from the father.
