Answer : The value of Ka for acetic acid is,  2.03\times 10^{-5}

Explanation :

The chemical formula of acetic acid is, CH_3COOH.

The chemical equilibrium reaction will be:

CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+

Given:

pH = 2.96

First we have to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion.

pH=-\log [H^+]

2.96=-\log [H^+]

[H^+]=1.096\times 10^{-3}M

That means,

[H^+]=[CH_3COO^-]=1.096\times 10^{-3}M

[CH_3COOH]=0.0602-(1.096\times 10^{-3})=0.0591M

The expression for reaction is:

K_a=\frac{[CH_3COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_3COOH]}

K_a=\frac{(1.096\times 10^{-3})\times (1.096\times 10^{-3})}{0.0591}

K_a=2.03\times 10^{-5}

Thus, the value of Ka for acetic acid is,  2.03\times 10^{-5}

Answer:

im not sure but I hope this helps

Explanation:

I believe the equivalents is just the moles reactant/moles limiting reactant

water has a denisty of 1 g/mL. 1 L is 1000 ml so there are 1000g/L.

the molar mass of water is 18g/mol if you use the Liters in the equation above you can find the number of grams present. divide this number you found by 18 to find the moles.

now take the amount of the other reactant given and divide it by its own molar mass. this will give you the number of moles of that reactant.

divide the moles of water by the moles of the reactant and that is the equivalent.

to find the normality you take this number and divide it by the number of liters.

Identify the geometry of the complex ion if the hybridization is d2sp3. linear square planar octahedral trigonal planar tetrahed
Leona [35]
Octahedral   is  the  geometry  of the   complex   ion   which   has  d2sp3   hybridization.

 The  octahedral   has  eight   faces   hence  the  prefix  octa.    Octahedral  molecular   geometry   describe  the  shape  of  compound  with  six  atom   or  groups  of atoms  or  ligands  symmetrically  arranged  around  a  central  atom.The  octahedron   is one   of the  platonic  solids.
