Answer:

Ka = 1.5 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Butyric acid is a weak acid that ionizes according to the following equation:

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

We can find the value of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) using the following expression:

Ka=\frac{[H^{+}]^{2} }{Ca}

where

[H⁺] is the molar concentration of H⁺

Ca is the initial molar concentration of the acid

We can find [H⁺] from the pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.71 = 1.95 × 10⁻³ M

Then,

Ka=\frac{(1.95 \times 10^{-3})^{2} }{0.25} =1.5 \times 10^{-5}

A sample of pure NH4HS is placed in a sealed 2.0-L container and heated to 550 K at which the equilibrium constant is 3.5 x 10-3
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The mass of NH_{3} in the container is 2.074 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of NH_{4} HS    V = 2 lit

Equilibrium constant k _{eq} = 3.5 \times 10^{-3}

The reaction in which NH_{3} is produced

  NH_{4} HS ⇄ NH_{3} + H_{2}S

Here equal moles of NH_{3} and H_{2}S is formed.

From the formula of equilibrium constant,

  k_{eq} = (NH_{3})(H_{2}S )

   x^{2} = 3.5 \times 10^{-3}

     x = 0.061 M

Above value shows,

   NH_{3} = 0.061 \frac{moles}{L}

So in 2 L no. moles of NH_{3} = 0.061 \times 2 = 0.122 moles.

So mass of 0.122 mole of NH_{3} is = 0.122 \times 17 = 2.074 g

Therefore, the mass of NH_{3} in the container is 2.074 gram

An unknown aqueous metal analysis yielded a detector response of 0.255. When 1.00 mL of a solution containing 100.0 ppm of the m
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Explanation:

Based on Lambert-Beer law, the increasing in signal of a detector is directly proportional to its concentration.

The unknown concentration (X) produces a signal of 0.255

99mL * X + 1mL * 100ppm / 100mL produces a signal of 0.502

0.99X + 1ppm produce 0.502, thus, X is:

0.255 * (0.99X + 1 / 0.502) =

X = 0.503X + 0.508

0.497X = 0.508

X =

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal
