<h2>K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}</h2>

Explanation:

  • When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-

        {\displaystyle {\ce {HA  ⇄  {H^+}+{A^{-}}}  }}

Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid, CH_3COOH

  • The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
  • The acid dissociation constant can be given by -

        K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

  • The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -

         \\{\displaystyle {\ce {{HA}+ H_2O} ⇄  [H_3O^+] [A^-]

  • Then the dissociation constant will be

        K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

Here, K_a is the dissociation constant of an acid.

Answer:

A. write balanced chemical equation (including states), for this process.

Explanation:

Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air.  

Hydrocarbon combustions always involve  

[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam.  

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance carbon, six on each side:  

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance hydrogen, six on each side:  

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left.  

Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction:  

C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything  

to get rid of the fraction:  

2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

With the SATP states thrown in...  

C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

. What is the first element on the periodic table?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The first element in the periodic table is hydrogen.

Explanation:

Hydrogen has an atomic number of one, making it the first element of the periodic table. The atomic number of an element is just the number of protons in the nucleus, so hydrogen has one proton. The neutrons and electrons do not affect the atomic number. After hydrogen with one proton comes helium with two, lithium with three, beryllium with four, and so on.

The table below provides some information about an unidentified element. Based on this information, the unidentified element is
Leona [35]

In the physical properties, it is mentioned that the element has 4 valence electrons. The elements in the periodic table are arranged such that, the number of valence electrons present in the neutral atoms belonging to a particular group  is equal to the group number.

Thus, the unidentified element can be best classified as a nonmetal in period 4

How many 325mg aspirin tablets can be made from 3628 grams of aspirins ? Need an answer by tonight it’s getting late .
krek1111 [17]

I took the mg and converted it to grams. That gave me .325 grams. I took that and multiplied that by 3628 grams. If I did my math correctly, the answer would be 1179.1. Rounded up, that would be 1179 aspirin tablets.   Hope this helps. :)
