Why do weak acid-weak base reactions not go to completion?

Chemistry
2 answers:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Weak acid and weak bases are the species that dissociate weakly in a solvent or water.

For example, acetic acid (CH_{3}COOH) is a weak acid and it dissociates poorly in water.

Hence, we can say that due to weak dissociation there will less formation of hydrogen or hydroxide ions upon dissociation of weak acid or weak base. Therefore, due to lack of sufficient number of ions the reaction will not go to completion.

Thus, we can conclude that weak acid-weak base reactions not go to completion because neither a weak acid nor a weak base has a strong tendency to transfer H^+ ions.

The answer would be D. This is because sulfur is on it's own, meaning one. while tri is a prefix for three so there are three oxygen atoms.

If liquid water is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure, what needs to change in order to change its state of matter?
inn [45]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

State of a substance changes when heat is provided to a substance.

This is because when we heat water then intermoleclar forces present within its molecules tend to break down. Due to this molecules start to move away from each other.

As a result, kinetic energy of molecules increases and they collide rapidly. Hence, solid state of water changes into liquid state and upon excessive heating liquid state of water changes into vapor state.

Thus, we conclude that temperature of water needs to change in order to change its state of matter.

if it takes 54 mL of 0.1 NaOH to neutralize 125 mL of an HCL solution, what is the concentration of HCL?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

0.0432M

Explanation:

We begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

NaOH + HCl —> NaCl + H2O

From the equation above,

The number of mole of the acid (nA) = 1

The number of mole of the base (nB) = 1

Data obtained from the question include:

Vb (volume of the base) = 54mL

Cb (concentration of the base) = 0.1M

Va (volume of the acid) = 125mL

Ca ( concentration of the acid) =?

Using CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB, the concentration of the acid can easily be obtained as shown below:

CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB

Ca x 125 / 0.1 x 54 = 1

Cross multiply to express in linear form:

Ca x 125 = 0.1 x 54

Divide both side by 125

Ca = (0.1 x 54) / 125

Ca = 0.0432M

Therefore, the concentration of the acid is 0.0432M

How do the lengths of day contrast for the summer solstice and winter solstice?
amm1812

When it is tilted away from the Sun, it is winter in the northern hemisphere. In between we have autumn and spring. The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice. This is the longest day (most daylight hours) of the year for people living in the northern hemisphere.
