Answer:

Explanation:

A solution with a pH value of 7 is neutral i.e neither acidic nor alkaline. A solution with a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic, while one with a pH value more than 7 is alkaline. Acidity increases as the value decrease below 7, while alkalinity increases as the value increase about 7.

Given that H2A is a diprotic weak acid have pKa values of 5.0 ad 9.0, it will undergo dissociation in the solution as:

NOTE: These reactions are reversible reactions.

\mathbf{H_2A \to H^+ + HA^-   \ \ \ pKa = 5.0}

\mathbf{HA^- \to H^+ +A^{2-}  \ \ \ pKa = 9.0}

Thus;

The primary species is HA⁻

The secondary species is A²⁻

The molar solubility of magnesium carbonate is 1.8 × 10–4 mol/l. What is ksp for this compound?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

3.2 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of magnesium carbonate.

MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product (Ksp) using an ICE chart.

         MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

I                             0                0

C                          +S              +S

E                            S                S

The Ksp is:

Ksp = [Mg²⁺] × [CO₃²⁻] = S × S = S² = (1.8 × 10⁻⁴)² = 3.2 × 10⁻⁸

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory was later proven wrong?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Option c and d

Explanation:

John Dalton. In 1808, John Dalton proposed a theory known as Dalton’s Atomic Theory. The theory was published in a paper titled “A New Chemical Philosophy”. This theory was new to that era

The 5 postulates of Daltons' atomic theory are:

1. All the matters are made of atoms.

2. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds

3. Compounds contain atoms in small whole-number ratios

4. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed . (This was later proven wrong )

5. All atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties (This was later proven wrong as atoms of same element may be different in case of elements having isotopes )

Therefore, options c and d are the answer.

Which expression could represent the
Elis [28]
There are a couple of ways in which you can express the concentration of a solution, and here they are: gram per liter (g/L), molarity (M), parts per million (ppm.), and percents (%). 
As you can see, only M appears in your answers, which means that the correct option should be (2) 3.5 M.

Using the following equation how many grams of water you would get from 886 g of glucose:
ankoles [38]

Answer:

531.6g

Explanation:

Total moles of glucose in this case is: 886/180= 4.922 (mole)

For every 1 mole glucose we get 6 mole water

-> Mole of water is: 4.922 * 6= 29.533 (mole)

weight of water is 18. Therefore, total weight of water that we will have from 886g of glucose are: 25.933*18= 531.6g
