A 0.175 m weak acid acid solution has ph of 3.25 find ka for the acid

Chemistry

The acid dissociation constant or Ka is a value used to measure the strength of a specific acid in solution. For a general dissociation of an acid solution,

HA = H+ + A-

we express Ka as follows:

Ka = [H+] [A-] / [HA]

Where the terms represents the concentrations of the acid and the ions. Assuming that the weak acid in the problem is HA, we first calculate for the concentration of H+ from the pH.

pH = - log [H+]
3.25 = - log [H+]
[H+] = 0.0005623 M

By the ICE table, we can calculate the equilibrium concentrations,
        HA      =      H+            +        A-
I      0.175           0                         0
C      -x               +x                      +x
 --------------------------------------------------
E  .174438    0.0005623       0.0005623

Ka = (0.0005623) (0.0005623) / .174438
Ka = 1.81x10^-6

What is the percent by mass of water in Na2SO4 • 10H2O?
bulgar [2K]
We determine the percent by mass of water in the compound by dividing the mass of  water by the total mass. The total mass of Na2SO4.10H2O is equal to 322 g. The mass of water is 180 g. 
       
                    percent by mass of water = (180 / 322)*(100 %) = 55.9%

For the reaction 2Co3+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)→2Co2+(aq)+Cl2(g). E∘=0.483 V what is the cell potential at 25 ∘C if the concentrations are [
sveta [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     E^{o} = 0.483,     [Co^{3+}] = 0.173 M,

     [Co^{2+}] = 0.433 M,     [Cl^{-}] = 0.306 M,

     P_{Cl_{2}} = 9.0 atm

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

or,             P = \frac{n}{V}RT    

Also, we know that

                Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

So,         P = MRT

and,          M = \frac{P}{RT}

                    = \frac{9.0 atm}{0.0820 L atm/mol K \times 298 K}

                    = \frac{9.0}{24.436}

                    = 0.368 mol/L

Now, we will calculate the cell potential as follows.

          E = E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} log \frac{[Co^{2+}]^{2}[Cl_{2}]}{[Co^{3+}][Cl^{-}]^{2}}

             = 0.483 - \frac{0.0591}{2} log \frac{(0.433)^{2}(0.368)}{(0.173)(0.306)^{2}}

             = 0.483 - 0.02955 log \frac{0.0689}{0.0162}

             = 0.483 - 0.02955 \times 0.628

             =  0.483 - 0.0185

             = 0.4645 V

Thus, we can conclude that the cell potential of given cell at 25^{o}C is 0.4645 V.

Where did the mass of the forest tress come from? What happen to that mass when the forest burns?
mart [117]

Answer:

The mass of the forest comes from carbon and carbon is retrieved from carbon-dioxide that trees used during the process of photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis, carbon-dioxide is utilised from the atmosphere by trees and release oxygen and ATP.

When the forest burns the mass again releases to atmosphere in the form of carbon which causes air pollution and increases carbon content in the atmosphere.
