Answer:

4.07

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>A solution is prepared at 25 °C that is initially 0.057 M in nitrous acid (HNO₂), a weak acid with Ka = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴, and 0.30 M in sodium nitrite (NaNO₂). Calculate the pH of the solution. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.</em>

<em />

Nitrous acid is a weak acid and nitrite (coming from sodium nitrite) is its  conjugate base. Together, the form a buffer system. We can calculate its pH using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.

pH = pKa + log [base]/[acid]

pH = -log 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ + log 0.30/0.057

pH = 4.07

using the equation you wrote determine how many moles of butane c4h10 are needed to react with 5.5 moles of oxygen
GaryK [48]

Answer:

0.846 moles.

Explanation:

  • This is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of complete combustion of butane is:

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

  • It is clear from the stichiometry of the balanced equation that complete combustion of 1.0 mole of butane needs 6.5 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 5 moles of H₂O.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

  • 1.0 mole of C₄H₁₀ reacts with → 6.5 moles of O₂
  • ??? moles of C₄H₁₀ are needed to react with → 5.5 moles of O₂
  • The number of moles of C₄H₁₀ that are needed to react with 5.5 moles of O₂ = (1.0 x 5.5 moles of O₂) / (6.5 moles of O₂) = 0.846 moles.

Explain in terms of atomic structure why the atomic radius of K is larger than that of Na
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Potassium (K) has a larger average atomic radius (220 pm) than sodium (Na) does (180 pm). The potassium atom has an extra electron shell compared to the sodium atom, which means its valence electrons are further from the nucleus, giving potassium a larger atomic radius. The ionic radius increases in a particular group on moving from top to bottom due to increase in the principle energy shell though the number or electrons in the valence shell remain the same

How could you test to see if an enzyme was completely saturated during an experiment?
rodikova [14]
To test this, you'd need to see if a reaction is still taking place, If the enzyme is completely depleted, then the reaction could no longer occur.
