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 =

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

82.9% Is the percent yield

Explanation:

First, we need to balance the equation.

Ca(CO3) + 2HCl → H2O + CO2 + CaCl2

Since the problem tells you that the excess reactant is Ca(CO3), we just need to Stoichiometry to solve for the theoretical yield.

\frac{200g HCl}{1} x \frac{1 mole HCl}{36.46gHCl} x \frac{1 mol CO2}{2molHCl} x \frac{44.01CO2}{1molCO2} =120.707 g (theoretical yield)

Take your actual yield of 100g, divide that by 120.707, then multiply that decimical by 100.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

1.90 L

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 595 L  

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 1.00 atm

P₂ = 55.0 atm

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{1.00}\times {595}={55.0}\times {V_2}

{V_2}=\frac{{1.00}\times {595}}{55.0}\ L

{V_2}=1.90\ L

<u>The volume would be 1.90 L.</u>
