The Weak Ionization constant (Ka) for HCOOH is equal to: Please help me lol

Chemistry
2 answers:
iris [78.8K]4 years ago

Answer:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the weak ionization reaction for formic acid is:

HCOOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+HCOO^-(aq)

In such a way, we simply recall the law of mass action in order to represent the weak ionization constant, Ka, for such process, by taking into account that the concentration of products is divided over the concentration of reactants as shown below:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}

Best regards.

Answer:

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

Explanation:

In this case we have to start with the <u>ionization reaction</u> of CH_3COOH, so:

CH_3COOH~~CH_3COO^-~+~H^+

With this in mind we can calculate the <u>mathematical expression of Ka</u> (The production of hydronium ions H^+), so:

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

I hope it helps!

Energy can be changed from potential to kinetic.<br> A.True<br> B.False
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

Therefore, true. (Also would u mind giving brainliest, you don't have to hehe)

The standard Gibbs energy of reaction, ÄG°, for the dissociation of phenol is 56.4 kJ mol-1 at 298 K. Calculate the pKa of pheno
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a.

9.88

Explanation:

ΔG = - 2.303 RT log Ka

ΔG is change in free energy at temperature T , Ka is equilibrium constant

- 56.4 x 10³ = 2.303 x 8.31 x 298 logKa

- log Ka = 9.88 .

pKa = 9.88 .

A brief explanation to this question: "Why are neon signs/fireworks different colors? Please help me. Do not look up internet
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

when lit, the atoms of different chemical compounds inside the firework absorb energy, when the electrons fall back to lower energy levels, they give off colored light. Depending upon the chemical used, different colors are produced. neon lights or signs are glass tubes filled with neon gas. When the light is plugged in, the electrical energy causes the electrons of neon to jump to higher energy levels, when they go to lower levels, colored light is given off. The neat thing is that the neon never gets used up. The only thing that gets used up is the electricity. The electrons don't get destroyed and can be used over and over again jumping levels. Neon glows with an orange light, but you know that neon signs can be lots of different colors. The variations come when different gases other than neon are used such as argon, or krypton or when the tube is painted so that with the light produced it produces a certain color.

How to do limiting reagents for chemistry?
gavmur [86]
Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction.
Convert the given information into moles.
Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced.
The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent.
The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent.
To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.
