Benzoic acid is a weak monoprotic acid. It has a pKa of 4.20. A student transferred 25.00mL of 0.126M benzoic acid into a beaker

. The student then added 20.00mL of distilled water into the beaker. Calculate the equilibrium pH for this benzoic acid solution.

Answer:

pH of the benzoic acid solution = 3.35

Explanation:

Benzoic acid is a weak monoprotic acid

  pKa = 4.2

⇒ Ka = 6.3 x 10⁻⁵

                                  C₆H₅COOH ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Initial concentration      C molar             0                0

At equilibrium               (c - cα)               cα               cα

                      Acid dissociation constant Ka = \frac{c\alpha X c\alpha  }{c - c\alpha }

                                              ⇒          6.3 x 10⁻⁵ = α²c ................(1)

(for weak electrolyte 1 -α = 1)

Concentration of benzoic acid C = 25 x 0.126 x 10⁻³ = 0.00315 molar

                  From eqn (1)

                          α² = \frac{6.3 X 10^{-5} }{0.00315}

                    ⇒  α = √(\frac{6.3 X 10^{-5} }{0.00315} )

                    ⇒  α = 0.14

So concentration of H⁺ ion = 0.14 x 0.00315 = 0.000441

pH = - log 0.000441 = 3.35    

We not considered H⁺ concentration of water because pH  < 7

Which coefficients will balance the following reaction:
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

C ) 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

The given reaction is synthesis reaction in which lithium and bromine react to form lithium bromide.

Chemical equation:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

Balanced chemical equation:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

Step 1:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 1

Br = 2                                        Br = 1

Step 2:

Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2

Step 3:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 2                                       Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2

Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles h2 consumed per liter per second
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Average rate of reaction expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = 0.0025 M/s = 0.0025 mol/L.s

Explanation:

The complete, correct Question, is presented in the attached image to this answer.

The average rate of reaction in terms of the reactant is defined as the total amount of reactant consumed over a period of time divided by total period of time.

Mathematically,

Average rate of reaction = (change in concentration of H₂ over a period of time) ÷ (total period of time)

Average rate of reaction = (-ΔC)/(Δt)

The minus sign is there because the concentration of reactants reduce with time.

change in concentration of H₂ = -ΔC

= -(0.02 - 0.03) = 0.01 M

Time = Δt = 4 - 0 = 4.0 s

Average rate of reaction = (0.01/4) = 0.0025 M/s

We could solve for the average rate of reaction expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second

change in concentration of Cl₂ = -ΔC

= -(0.04 - 0.05) = 0.01 M

Time = Δt = 4 - 0 = 4.0 s

Average rate of reaction = (0.01/4) = 0.0025 M/s = 0.0025 mol/L.s

Hope this Helps!!!

What are inside of cars so hot when left in the sun
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

metalllll/material

Explanation:

you know how dark shirts absorb the sun heat well its practically the same just with material.

"Why is the inside of a car so hot after sitting in the sun?

Cars warm up in the sun due to the greenhouse effect: Sunlight passing through the windows into the car is mostly absorbed by interior surfaces, then radiated back to the air as heat. ... “As a consequence, the inside of the car will warm because radiation is coming in but not much is going back out.”Jul 27, 2009

Curiosities: Does a dark-colored car heat up more in the sun than a ..."
