Answer:

i=2 for HCl and i=1 for ethanol

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the hydrochloric acid is composed by sodium and chloride ions which are completely dissociated, two types of ions are present, that's why i becomes 2.

On the other hand, as long as the ethanol doesn't present dissociation in aqueous solution, the Van't Hoff factor becomes 1.

Best regards.

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s

raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

$C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-$

Initial conc. c 0 0

At eqm. c-x x x

Given:

c = $7.0\times 10^{-2}M$

$K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}$

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

$K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}$

$K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}$

$x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

quizlet a basement is successfully sealed so that more radon may not enter the space, but 5.7×107 radon atoms are already trappe

12345 [234]

After 25 days, it remains radon 5.9x10^5 atoms.

Half-life is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive radon) to reduce to half its initial value.

N(Ra) = 5.7×10^7; initial number of radon atoms

t1/2(Ra) = 3.8 days; the half-life of the radon is 3.8 days

n = 25 days / 3.8 days

n = 6.58; number of half-lifes of radon

N1(Ra) = N(Ra) x (1/2)^n

N1(Ra) = 5.7×10^7 x (1/2)^6.58

N1(Ra) = 5.9x10^5; number of radon atoms after 25 days

The half-life is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).

Which compound contains both covalent and ionic bonds? <br> a. NCl3 b. NaF c. HCN d. NH4OH

Marina86 [1]

<h2> $NH_4OH$ contains both covalent and ionic bonds.</h2>

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

a. $NCl_3$ contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.
