First, we can neglect the Ka2 value and use Ka1:

according to this equation and by using the ICE table:

              H2Se ⇄  H+ +HSe-
initial    0.4 M         0       0 
change  -X             +X        +X 
Equ      (0.4-X)         X           X

so,

Ka1 = [H+][HSe-] / [H2Se]

so by substitution:

1.3 x 10^-4 = X*X / (0.4 -X) by solving for X

∴X  = 0.00715

∴[H+] = 0.00715 m

∴PH = -㏒[H+]
        = -㏒ 0.00715
        = 2.15

If you add meoh to cocl2(alc)2, the cocl2(alc)2 concentration will change. what are the two reasons for this concentration chang
Vaselesa [24]
There are two reasons that account for the change in concentration. One is by the physical change and second is by the chemical change. The physical change refers to the mixture of the two compounds. The concentration is the amount of that certain substance to the whole mixture. Since the mixture increases because you add them up, the concentration decreases. Second, these compounds react with each other once they interact. Hence, their amounts would be consumed in order to produce the products.

When testing water for chemical impurities, results are often reported as BDL, that is, below detection limit. The following are
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The median level in the water is 7ppm

Explanation:

LoB is assessed by calculating duplicates of a blank sample and evaluating the mean result and the standard deviation (SD). After evaluating this value LOD can be evaluated conferring to LOD=LOB+1.645(SD low concentration sample ). The quantitation limit can also be got from accuracy studies. LOD's may also be evaluated based on the standard deviation of the response (Sy) of the curve and the slope of the calibration curve (S) at levels resembling the LOD according to the formula: LOD = 3.3\frac{Sy}{S}

Which statement is true regarding a catalyst?
Alla [95]

Answer:

d). A catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

From the given choices, it is true that a catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.

The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a chemical reaction can occur.

Some reactions have very high activation energy and would not occur without the introduction of a catalyst.

The catalyst brings the reactants into contact by removing the energy deficiency in the system.
