Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃CHOHCOOH    ⇄    CH₃CHOHCOO⁻   +    H⁺

ionisation constant = 1.36 x 10⁻⁴ .

molecular weight of lactic acid = 90 g

moles of acid used = 20 / 90

= .2222

it is dissolved in one litre so molar concentration of lactic acid formed

C = .2222M

Let n be the fraction of moles ionised  

CH₃CHOHCOOH    ⇄    CH₃CHOHCOO⁻   +    H⁺

C  - nC                                          nC                  nC

By definition of ionisation constant Ka

Ka = nC x nC / C - nC

= n²C ( neglecting n in the denominator )

n² x .2222 = 1.36 x 10⁻⁴

n = 2.47  x 10⁻²

nC = 2.47  x 10⁻² x .2222

= 5.5 x 10⁻³

So concentration of hydrogen or hydronium ion = 5.5  x 10⁻³ g ion per litre .

Given the ion C2O4-2, what species would you expect to form with each of the following ions?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A. K₂C₂O₄          Potassium oxalate

B. CuC₂O₄          Copper oxalate

C. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃         Bismuth (III) oxalate

D. Pb(C₂O₄)₂         Lead (IV) oxalate

E. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄       Ammonium oxalate

F. HC₂O₄⁻             Acid oxalate

Explanation:

C₂O₄⁻²  → oxalate anion

This is the conjugate base from the H₂C₂O₄ which is the oxalic acid. A weak dyprotic acid that can release 2 protons.

A. 2K⁺  +  C₂O₄⁻²  → K₂C₂O₄          Potassium oxalate

It can be formed by the neutralization of the acid with the base

H₂C₂O₄  + 2KOH  → K₂C₂O₄  +  2H₂O

B. Cu²⁺ +  C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  CuC₂O₄  ↓

This is a precipitate.

C.  2Bi³⁺  +  3C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃  ↓

This is a precipitate.

D.  Pb⁴⁺ +  2C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  Pb(C₂O₄)₂  ↓

This is a precipitate.

E. 2NH₄⁺  +  C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  (NH₄)₂C₂O₄  ↓

This is a precipitate.

F. This is the conjugate strong base, for the weak acid

H⁺  +  C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  HC₂O₄⁻

HC₂O₄⁻  + H₂O  ⇄  C₂O₄⁻²  +  H₃O⁺    Ka

HC₂O₄⁻  + H₂O  ⇄  H₂C₂O₄  +  OH⁻    Kb

HC₂O₄⁻  is an amphoteric compound

What type of change forms a new<br> substance?
marusya05 [52]

Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions. The “ingredients” of a reaction are called reactants, and the end results are called products.
