Answer:

a)4.51

b) 9.96

Explanation:

Given:

NaOH = 0.112M

H2S03 = 0.112 M

V = 60 ml

H2S03 pKa1= 1.857

pKa2 = 7.172

a) to calculate pH at first equivalence point, we calculate the pH between pKa1 and pKa2 as it is in between.

Therefore, the half points will also be the middle point.

Solving, we have:

pH = (½)* pKa1 + pKa2

pH = (½) * (1.857 + 7.172)

= 4.51

Thus, pH at first equivalence point is 4.51

b) pH at second equivalence point:

We already know there is a presence of SO3-2, and it ionizes to form

SO3-2 + H2O <>HSO3- + OH-

Kb = \frac{[ HSO3-][0H-]}{SO3-2}

Kb = \frac{10^-^1^4}{10^-^7^.^1^7^2} = 1.49*10^-^7

[HSO3-] = x = [OH-]

mmol of SO3-2 = MV

= 0.112 * 60 = 6.72

We need to find the V of NaOh,

V of NaOh = (2 * mmol)/M

= (2 * 6.72)/0.122

= 120ml

For total V in equivalence point, we have:

60ml + 120ml = 180ml

[S03-2] = 6.72/120

= 0.056 M

Substituting for values gotten in the equation Kb=\frac{[HSO3-][OH-]}{[SO3-2]}

We noe have:

1.485*10^-^7=\frac{x*x}{(0.056-x)}

x = [OH-] = 9.11*10^-^5

pOH = -log(OH) = -log(9.11*10^-^5)

=4.04

pH = 14- pOH

= 14 - 4.04

= 9.96

The pH at second equivalence point is 9.96

Thank you for posting your question here. Below is the solution:

HNO3 --> H+ + NO3- 
<span>HNO3 = strong acid so 100% dissociation </span>
<span>** one doesn't need to find the molarity of water since it is the solvent </span>

<span>0M HNO3 </span>
<span>1x10^-6M H3O+ </span>
<span>1x10^-6M NO3- </span>
<span>1x10^-8M OH-.....the Kw = 1x10^-14 = [H+][OH-] </span>
<span>you have 1x10^-6M H+ so, 1x10^-14 / 1x10^-6 = 1x10^-8M OH- </span>


<span>1x10^-6 Ba(OH)2 = strong base, 100% dissociation </span>
<span>1x10^-6M Ba2+ </span>
<span>2x10^-6M OH- since there are 2 OH- / 1 Ba2+ </span>
<span>0M Ba(OH)2 </span>
<span>5x10^-9M H3O+</span>

Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).
g100num [7]

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

The Earth's moon is unusually large. Two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which stat
Verizon [17]

Answer: D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Explanation:

Theory is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon (the existence of the moon in this case) and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

In this sense, there are many theories about the Earth's moon formation and two of the "accepted" theories are described before the question. In addition, both theories explain in a certain way the reason why the Moon is predominantly composed of elements similar to those found on Earth.

However, both theories seem to be incomplete when trying to explain our Moon's origin.
