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).

A typical virus is 5x10-6 cm in diameter. if avogadro's number of these virus particles were laid in a row, how many kilometers
Debora [2.8K]
Answer is: line be long 3,011·10¹³ kilometers.
diametar of virus = 5·10⁻⁶ cm ÷ 100000 = 5·10⁻¹¹ km.
line lenght = 5·10⁻¹¹ km · 6,023·10²³.
line lenght = 3,011·10¹³ km.
Avogadro number = 6,023·10²³.
1 cm = 10⁻² m = 10⁻⁵ km.

Calculate the mean kinetic energy {e1rans) in joules of the following molecules at 350 k: (a) he, (b) co2, and (c) uf6. explain
Lady bird [3.3K]

The mean kinetic energy per molecule is , where  is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.

So at 1000°C, the T = 1273.15 K, kB=1.38 × 10-23, therefore the mean kinetic energy is 2.635 × 10⁻²⁰J.

<h3><u>What is Kinetic energy ?</u></h3>

The energy an item has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an item in order to accelerate it. We must put forth effort in order to apply a force. After the job is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transmitted and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy may be converted into other types of energy and transported between things. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's original kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the impact.

What is the effect of molecular weight on melting and boiling point of alkanes??​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Their melting and boiling points of alkanes are relatively low. The higher the molecular weight (the greater the number of carbons), the higher the boiling point.
