Answer:
4 atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
The given equation is :
Here Fe and O₂ are reactants and Fe₂O₃ is a product. It is a balanced chemical reaction in which the number of atoms on LHS are equal to number of atoms on RHS.
4 atoms of iron react with 3 atoms of oxygen to form iron oxide. Hence, there are 4 atoms of reactants in this equation.
First, we write out a balanced equation.
HA <--> H(+) + A(-)
Next, we create an ICE table
HA <--> H+ + A-
[]i 0.40M 0M 0M
Δ[] -x +x +x
[]f 0.40-x x x
Next, we write out the Ka expression.
Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
Ka = x*x/(0.40-x)
However, because Ka is less than 10^-3, we can assume the amount of dissociation is negligible. Thus,
Assume 0.40-x ≈ 0.40
Therefore, 1.2x10^-6 = x^2/0.40
Then we solve for the [H+] concentration, or x
x=6.93x10^-4
Next, to find pH we do
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log[6.93x10^-4]
pH = 3.2
HA <--> H(+) + A(-)
Next, we create an ICE table
HA <--> H+ + A-
[]i 0.40M 0M 0M
Δ[] -x +x +x
[]f 0.40-x x x
Next, we write out the Ka expression.
Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
Ka = x*x/(0.40-x)
However, because Ka is less than 10^-3, we can assume the amount of dissociation is negligible. Thus,
