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.

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).

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit
luda_lava [24]

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

K~=~10^{-pK}

K value> 1 indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.

There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, which is the pKa value of some compounds that will react, namely:

pyridinium pKa = 5.25

acetone pKa = 19.3

butan-2-one pKa = 19

Let's look at the K value of each possible reaction:

pka H₂O = 15.74, pka of H₂CO₃ = 6.37)

  • 1. C₅H₆N pyridinium

* with OH⁻

C₅H₆N + OH- ---> C₅H₅N- + H₂O

pK = pKa pyridinium - pKa H₂O

pK = 5.25 - 15.74

pK = -10.49

K~=~10^{4.9}

K values> 1 indicate the reaction can take place

* with HCO3⁻

C₅H₆N + HCO₃⁻-- ---> C₅H₅N⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 5.25 - 6.37

pK = -1.12

K`=~10^{1.12]

Reaction can take place

  • 2. Acetone C₃H₆O

* with OH-

C₃H₆O + OH⁻ ---> C₃H₅O- + H₂O

pK = 19.3 - 15.74

pK = 3.56

K~=~10^{ -3.56}

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃-

C₃H₆O + HCO₃⁻ ----> C₃H₅O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19.3 - 6.37

pK = 12.93

K`=~10 ^{-12.93}

Reaction does not happen

  • 3. butan-2-one C₄H₇O

* with OH-

C₄H₇O + OH- ---> C₄H₆O- + H₂O

pK = 19 - 15.74

pK = 3.26

K~=~10^{-3.26}

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃⁻

C₄H₇O + HCO₃⁻ ---> C₄H₆O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19 - 6.37

pK = 12.63

K~=~ 10^{-12.63}

Reaction does not happen

So that can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

Alkanes do not have geometric isomers because the carbon atoms in their carbon-carbon bonds are _____.
Mariana [72]
The word that best fits the underlined in the sentence is "free-to-rotate." The carbon atoms in their carbon bonds are free to rotate since alkanes do not have geometric isomers. They only have single bonds and the most common example of which are trans molecules.

How do biologists learn which organisms we're the ancestors of today's plants?
Norma-Jean [14]

by classifying into categories that get smaller and smaller  these are the classification steps :  life , domain , kingdom , phylum , class,  order , family , genus , and species every time you narrow it down the option gets smaller and smaller till there's none left except the species it self .

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of mgso4 with sr(no3)2?
Bad White [126]

Balanced chemical reaction:  

MgSO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + SrSO₄(s).

Ionic reaction:  

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Sr²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + SrSO₄(s).

Net ionic reaction:

Sr²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → SrSO₄(s).

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), strontium nitrate (Sr(NO₃)₂ and magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO₃)₂) are soluble in water. Strontium sulfate (SrSO₄) is not soluble in water.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.
