Determine the pH of a 0.048 M hypochlorous acid (HClO) solution. Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid (Ka = 4.0 ✕ 10−8 M).
storchak [24]

pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.

<u>Explanation:</u>

HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,

HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻

We can write the equilibrium expression as,

Ka = $\frac{[H^{+}] [ClO^{-}]  }{[HClO]}

Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M

4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M = $\frac{x \times x }{0.048}

Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,

x² =  4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048

   = 1.92 × 10⁻⁹

Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,

x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

     = - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]

   = 4.35

HEEEEELP ASAPP IM AWARDING 30 points!!!!
alexira [117]

Answer:

\rm S^{2-}.

Explanation:

Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:

2 + (2 + 6) + (2 + 6) = 18.

Each electron has a charge of (-1).

Atoms are neutral and have 0 charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of (-1). Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become (-2).

The ion in this question has a charge of (-2). In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 18 electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 18 - 2 = 16 electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 16.

Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of 16 is sulphur with atomic symbol \rm S. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("2-" for a charge of (-2)) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:

\rm S^{2-}.

If one benzene molecule is placed in water, the total entropy of the water + benzene system:___________
valkas [14]

Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.
