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

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

Why do you think scientists claim to offer only supporting evidence for a theory and not proof?
larisa [96]
Because they're not confident enough to confirm it's indeed true but they will support it for they believe it's correct.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? Which of the following statements is FALSE?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: option A) Mixtures may be composed of two or more elements, two or more compounds, or a combination of both.

Explanation:

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances mixed together and can be separated by physical methods.

A combination of two elements or compounds will yield chemical compounds NOT a mixture.

Thus, option A is false statement

A biologist has two brine solutions, one containing 4% salt and another containing 16% salt. How many milliliters of each soluti
agasfer [191]

Answer:

400 mL of 4% salt solution and 600 mL of 16% salt solution need to be mixed

Explanation:

Let's assume concentration of brine salt solutions are in %(w/v) unit.

Final mixture has a concentration of 11.2% salt and volume of 1 L or 1000 mL

Hence, amount of salt in final mixture = \frac{11.2\times 1000}{100}g=112g

Suppose x mL of 4% salt solution and (1000-x) mL of 16% salt solution need to be mixed to get final mixture

So, amount of salt in x mL of 4% salt solution = \frac{4x}{100}g

      amount of salt in x mL of 16% salt solution =\frac{16\times (1000-x)}{100}g

Hence, \frac{4x}{100}+\frac{16\times (1000-x)}{100}=112

or, x=400

So, 400 mL of 4% salt solution and 600 mL of 16% salt solution need to be mixed

What is the percent yield in a reaction between 42.6 g O2 and 49.2 g Al if 72.4 g of Al2O3 is produced?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

229%

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2Al2O3(s)

We must first determine the limiting reactant;

Number of moles of Al2O3 produced = mass/molar mass = 72.4g/101.96 g/mol = 0.71 moles

For Al

Number of moles reacted = mass/molar mass = 49.2g/27 g/mol = 1.8 moles

If 4 moles of Al yields 0.71 moles of Al2O3

1.8 moles of Al will yield 1.8 × 0.71/4 = 0.32 moles of Al2O3

For O2

Number of moles reacted = mass/molar mass = 42.6g/32g/mol = 1.33 moles

If 3 moles of O2 yields 0.71 moles of Al2O3

1.33 moles of O2 will yield 1.33 × 0.71/3 = 0.31 moles of Al2O3

Oxygen is the limiting reactant.

% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield × 100/1

% yield = 0.71 moles/0.31 moles × 100

% yield = 229%
