Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

it dehydrates on standing and can become shock sensitive. It has an acid dissociation constant of 0.42.
a. What is the [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid? Enter to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = H_{picric}

So,  H_{picric}     +       H_2}O          ⇄      H_3}O^+     +     Picric^-

The ICE table can be given as:

                          H_{picric}     +       H_2}O          ⇄      H_3}O^+     +     Picric^-

Initial:                0.52                                               0                  0

Change:             - x                                                 + x                 + x

Equilibrium:      0.52 - x                                        + x                 + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant  (K_a) = 0.42

K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}

0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}

0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x²  + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0                   -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}    ;     ( where +/-  represent ± )

= \frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}

= \frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}

= \frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}     OR   \frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}

= \frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}       OR    \frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}

= \frac{0.6045}{2}                 OR    -\frac{1.4445}{2}

= 0.30225          OR     - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x =  0.30225

x = [ H_3}O^+ ] = [   Picric^- ] =  0.3023  M

∴  the value of  [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid  = 0.3023 M     (to 4 decimal places).

What is the chemical equation for boiling a egg?
Nostrana [21]
Because an egg is an entire biological structure, made up of a mixture of chemicals rather than a single pure chemical compound, there is no one chemical formula to describe it. However, the basic structure and chemistry of an egg is highly conserved and varies little from species to species.

The energy produced by the snack in an experiment is calculated to be 41,800 J/g. What is the energy of the snack in Calories/
Goryan [66]

The energy of the snack in calories per gram is 9983.3 Calories/gram.

<h3>What is the energy of a snack?</h3>

The energy that is contained in a snack is obtained from a calorimeter when the snack is burnt in a calorimeter. The mass of the snack that is burnt is measured in terms of energy output of the calorimeter.

If  1 calorie = 4.18J

x calorie = 41,800 J

x = 41,800 J * 1 calorie/4.18J

x = 9983.3 Calories/gram
