Hi there

In order for an electron to jump into a higher energy state, it must first absorb energy (heat, light, etc).

When an electron goes back down to the ground state from the excited state, it emits energy usually in the form of a photon.

i hope this helps

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

pH = 8.0

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

35.8 \times 10^{-3}L.\frac{0.020mol}{L} =7.2\times 10^{-4}mol

Let's consider the balanced equation.

C₂H₄O₃ + NaOH ⇒ C₂H₃O₃Na + H₂O

The molar ratio C₂H₄O₃: NaOH: C₂H₃O₃Na is 1: 1: 1. So, when 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of NaOH react completely with 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₄O₃ they form 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₃O₃Na.

The concentration of C₂H₃O₃Na is:

\frac{7.2\times 10^{-4}mol}{60.8 \times 10^{-3}L} =0.012M

C₂H₃O₃Na dissociates according to the following equation:

C₂H₃O₃Na(aq) ⇒ C₂H₃O₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

C₂H₃O₃⁻ comes from a weak acid so it undergoes basic hydrolisis.

C₂H₃O₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₄O₃ + OH⁻

If we know that pKa for C₂H₄O₃ is 3.9, we can calculate pKb for C₂H₃O₃⁻ using the following expression:

pKa + pKb = 14

pKb = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

10.1 = -log Kb

Kb = 7.9 × 10⁻¹¹

We can calculate [OH⁻] using the following expression:

[OH⁻] = √(Kb.Cb)               <em>where Cb is the initial concentration of the base</em>

[OH⁻] = √(7.9 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.012M) = 9.7 × 10⁻⁷ M

Now, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (9.7 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.0

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6.0 = 8.0

How much heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C?
Rashid [163]

A. The heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C is +33,400 J.

<h3>What is Specific heat capacity?</h3>

Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature per unit mass.

<h3>Heat needed to melt the cube of ice</h3>

The heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C is calculated as follows;

Q = mL

where;

  • m is mass of the ice
  • L is latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 J/g

Q = 100 x 334

Q = 33,400 J

Thus, the heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C is +33,400 J.

How many grams of potassium chloride are needed to make 100 ml of a solution containing 250 mosmol/l? (m.w. of potassium is 39 a
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
In dilute solutions, the unit osmolarity is being used. It usually has units milliosmols per liter of solution or mOsmol/L. An osmole defines the number of moles of the solute that would have an effect on the osmotic pressure of the solution. Osmolarity is calculated by the product of the molarity and the number of particles in the solution which is 2 for potassium chloride. We calculate as follows:
Osmolarity = molarity (# of particles)250 mosmol/L ( 1 osmol / 1000 osmol) = x moles / .100 L (2)
x moles = 0.0125 mol KCl
mass KCl = 0.0125 mol KCl ( 39 + 35.5 g/mol) = 0.93125 g KCl

What type of reaction is shown in this thermochemical equation? A + B + heat → C + D
hodyreva [135]
The reaction, as what is depicted in the thermonuclear equation is one of the best example of an endothermic reaction. In addition, the endothermic process revolves around the idea that the system can also absorb the energy from its surroundings, in contrast to the idea of releasing its energy to its environment.
