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

What is the molarity of 200. mL of solution containing 4.50 moles of ZnCl2?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Molarity of solution = 0.9 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of ZnCl₂ = 4.50 mol

Volume of solution = 200 mL

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Now we will convert the volume in L.

200 mL×1 L/1000 mL = 0.2L

M = 4.50 mol / 0.2 L

M = 0.9 M

Consider the reaction:
devlian [24]
Gosh, I love chem!

[H2O]/t should be 0.085M/s

this is because of the coefficients in front of H2S and H2O being the same.

the significance of this answer is that the H2S disappears at the same rate H2O appears.

Measurements show that unknown compound has the following composition: element mass 62.1 % carbon, 10.5 % hydrogen and 27.6 % ox
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

C3H6O

Explanation:

The percentage composition of the elements in the compound are given as follows:

62.1 % carbon = 62.1g of C

10.5 % hydrogen = 10.5g of H

27.6 % oxygen = 27.6g of O

Next, we convert each mass to mole by dividing by their molar/atomic mass

C = 62.1/12 = 5.175mol

H = 10.5/1 = 10.5mol

O = 27.6/16 = 1.725mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest mole value (1.725)

C = 5.175mol ÷ 1.725 = 3

H = 10.5mol ÷ 1.725 = 6.086

O = 1.725mol ÷ 1.725 = 1

The empirical ratio approximately of C:H:O is 3:6:1, hence, the empirical formula is C3H6O
