Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa

Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.

Answer:

D) An acid with a small pKa is stronger than an acid with a large pKa

Explanation:

Hi, the acity constant (Ka) gives an idea of the strenght of an acid. The higher the Ka, the stronger the acid.

The indicator pKa is obtained by the following formula:

pKa=-\log{Ka}

Due to the logarithm, when the Ka increases, the pKa decreases.

<u>Putting all this toghether</u>: An acid with a large Ka has a small pKa and is stronger than an acid with a small Ka (large pKa).

So the correct statement is D

Consider the reaction PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g). If 0.02 moles of PCl5, 0.04 moles of PCl3, and 0.08 moles of Cl2 are combined
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The reaction quotient (Q) before the reaction is 0.32

Explanation:

Being the reaction:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where Q is the so-called reaction quotient and the concentrations expressed in it are not those of the equilibrium but those of the different reagents and products at a certain instant of the reaction.

The concentration will be calculated by:

Concentration=\frac{number of moles of solute}{Volume}

You know  the reaction:

PCl₅ (g) ⇌ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g).

So:

Q=\frac{[PCl_{3} ] *[Cl_{2} ] }{[PCl_{5} ]}

The concentrations are:

  • [PCl₃]=\frac{0.04 moles}{0.5 L} =0.08 \frac{moles}{L}
  • [Cl₂]=\frac{0.08 moles}{0.5 L} =0.16 \frac{moles}{L}
  • [PCl₅]=\frac{0.02 moles}{0.5 L} =0.04 \frac{moles}{L}

Replacing:

Q=\frac{0.08*0.16}{0.04}

Solving:

Q= 0.32

<u><em>The reaction quotient (Q) before the reaction is 0.32</em></u>

Butane (C4 H10(g), Hf = –125.6 kJ/mol) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2 , Hf = –393.5 kJ/mol ) and water (H2 O,
WITCHER [35]

Answer: Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C_4H_{10} (g) is -2657.5 kJ

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

2C_4H_{10}(g)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times \Delta H^o_f_{CO_2(g)})+(10\times \Delta H^o_f_{H_2O(g)})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{C_4H_{10}(g)})+(4\times \Delta H^o_f_{O_2(g)})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(C_4H_{10}(g))}=-125.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.82kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times -393.5)+(10\times -241.82)]-[(2\times -125.6)+(4\times 0)]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-5315kJ

Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C_4H_{10} (g) is -2657.5 kJ

How do chemists solve problems?
Westkost [7]

Answer:Chemistry problems can be solved using a variety of techniques.

Explanation:  Many chemistry teachers and most introductory chemistry texts illustrate problem solutions using the factor-label method. ... The use of analogies and schematic diagrams results in higher achievement on problems involving moles, stoichiometry, and molarity. Hope this helped!
