Only a small fraction of a weak acid ionizes in aqueous solution. What is the percent ionization of a 0.100-M solution of acetic

acid, CH3CO2H? CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)⇌H3O+(aq)+CH3CO2−(aq )Ka=1.8×10−5

Answer:

1.33%

Explanation:

In an aqueous solution, a weak acid such as acetic acid, will be in equilibrium with its conjugate base, acetate ion, thus:

CH₃CO₂H(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + CH₃CO₂⁻(aq )

Where dissociation constant, ka, is defined as the ratio of concentrations of products and reactants:

Ka = 1.8x10⁻⁵ = [H₃O⁺] [CH₃CO₂⁻] / [CH₃CO₂H]

<em>H₂O is not taken into account in the equilibrium because is a pure liquid</em>

<em />

When a solution of acetic acid becomes to equilibrium, the original concentration of the acid decreases producing more H₃O⁺ and CH₃CO₂⁻.

The concentrations at equilibrium when a 0.100M solution of acetic acid reaches this state, is:

[CH₃CO₂H] = 0.100M - X

[H₃O⁺] = X

[CH₃CO₂⁻] = X

<em>Where X is reaction coordinate.</em>

Replacing in Ka expression:

1.8x10⁻⁵ = [H₃O⁺] [CH₃CO₂⁻] / [CH₃CO₂H]

1.8x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.100M - X]

1.8x10⁻⁶ - 1.8x10⁻⁵X = X²

1.8x10⁻⁶ - 1.8x10⁻⁵X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = -0.00135 → False solution. There is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00133 → Right solution.

That means concentration of acetate ion is:

[CH₃CO₂⁻] = 0.00133M.

Now, percent ionization is defined as 100 times the ratio between weak acid that is ionizated, [CH₃CO₂⁻] = 0.00133M, per initial concentration of the acid, [CH₃CO₂H] = 0.100M. Replacing:

% Ionization = 0.00133M / 0.100M × 100 =

How do scientists classify intrusive igneous features? according to shape, texture, and their distance from the nearest volcanic
Nataliya [291]

according to shape, size, and their relationship to surrounding layers of rock

Explanation:

Scientists classify intrusive features according to their shape, size and relationship to surrounding layers of rocks.

Intrusive igneous features are the sills, di/kes, batholith, laccoiith, lopolith e.t.c

  • When magma cools and solidifies within the earth crust, they form intrusive igneous rocks.
  • Intrusive igneous rocks differs from one another in their shape, size and relationship to surrounding rocks.
  • For example, batholith is a large intrusive body that extends for several kilometers in the earth surface.
  • Sills and di/kes are smaller bodies. Sills forms parallel to orientation of rocks in an area. Di/kes are known to cut across the orientation.

Calculate the [OH-] and the pH of a solution with an [H+= .00083 M at 25 degrees
sesenic [268]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.2 × 10^-11 M

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Concentration of Hydrogen ions [H⁺] as 0.00083 M

<u>We are required to calculate the concentration of [OH⁻]</u>

We know that;

pH = - log [H⁺]

POH = -log[OH⁻]

Also, pH + pOH = 14

With the concentration of H⁺ we can calculate the pH

pH = -log 0.00083 M

    = 3.08

But; pH + pOH = 14

Therefore; pOH = 14 - pH

                           = 14 - 3.08

                          = 10.92

But, pOH = -log[OH⁻]

Therefore; [OH] = -Antilog(pOH)

Hence; [OH⁻] = Antilog -10.92

                     = 1.2 × 10^-11 M

Therefore, [OH⁻] is 1.2 × 10^-11 M

Carnot Cycle. If a boiler's heat source produces 106 Btu/hr at 600F, what is the highest possible rate at which work may be prod
Alchen [17]

Answer:

W = 141.333 BTu/h

Explanation:

W = Q ( 1 - TL/TH )......carnot

∴ Q = 106 BTu/h

∴ TH = 600 °F

∴ TL = 70 °F

⇒ W = 160 BTu/h ( 1 - 70/600 )

⇒ W = 141.333 BTu/h
