Electrons carry a negative charge adding 2 electrons together would give a positive charge because 2 negatives make a positive.

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0121 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 6.49. Calc

Hitman42 [59]

Calculate the H positive from the pH equation: pH equals -log (H positive). This would be 10 to the -6.49. Let's call the acid HA. To calculate Ka in this equation, Ka equals H positive times A- over HA. HA is going to be the 0 0121. So, Ka=(10^-6.49)^2/0.0121. This equals 1.05*10^-13/0.0121. Ka then equals 8.65*10^-12.

Kc= [3.1*10^-2]^2. (mol/L^2) divide by [8.5*10^-1] [3.1*10^-3]^3 (mol/L)^4

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Kc = 12.58

Explanation:

Kc = [0.229]^2*[0.687]^6/[0.221]^4*[0.5685]^3

Kc = (0.052441)(0.10513)/(0.002385)(0.18373)

Kc = 0.0005513/0.000438

Kc = 12.58

Hope that helps!!

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni

Svetllana [295]

Answer: The pH of acid solution is 4.58

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For KOH:

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol$

For propanoic acid:

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol$

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O$

Initial: 0.1372 0.04514

Final: 0.09206 - 0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

$[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}$

$[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58$

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

How many electrons does nitrogen (N) need to gain to have a stable outer electron shell

earnstyle [38]

It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration.

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!
