An unknown acid solution has PH 3.4. 66% of the acid is ionized. Whats the pka?

Chemistry

Answer:

pKa=3.58

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH defines the concentration of hydrogen:

pH=-log([H^+])

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.4}=3.98x10^{-4}

And the percent ionization is:

\% \ ionization=\frac{[H^+]}{[HA]}*100\%

We compute the concentration of the acid, HA:

[HA]=\frac{[H^+]}{\% \ ionization}*100\%=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}}{66\%}  *100\%\\\\

[HA]=6.03x10^{-4}

Thus, the Ka is:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}*3.98x10^{-4}}{6.03x10^{-4}}\\  \\Ka=2.63x10^{-4}

So the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(2.63x10^{-4})\\\\pKa=3.58

Regards.

How many moles of KBr are present in 8.96 x 10^21
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

0.015 moles

Explanation:

  • One mole of a compound contains molecules equivalent to the Avogadro's constant, 6.022 × 10^23.
  • That is, 1 mole of a compound will have 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.

In our case, We are given 8.96 x 10^21 molecules of KBr

We need to find the number of moles in 8.96 x 10^21 molecules

1 mole of KBr = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.

8.96 x 10^21 molecules = ?

Therefore;

(1 × 8.96 x 10^21 molecules ) ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.

 = 1.488 × 10^-2 moles

 = 0.01488 moles

= 0.015 moles

A certain drug has a half-life in the body of 3.5h. Suppose a patient takes one 200.Mg pill at :500PM and another identical pill
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the amount of drug in the body at 90 min by using the exponential decay equation:

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

λ: is the decay constant = ln(2)/t_{1/2}

t_{1/2}: is the half-life of the drug = 3.5 h

N(t): is the quantity of the drug at time t

N₀: is the initial quantity

After 90 min and before he takes the other 200 mg pill, we have:

N_{t} = 200e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*90 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 148.6 mg

Now, at 7:00 pm we have:

t = 7:00 pm - (5:00 pm + 90 min) = 30 min

N_{t} = (200 + 148.6)e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*30 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 315.7 mg    

Therefore, the amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg (from an initial amount of 400 mg).

I hope it helps you!

This particle determines what element you have - the element's identity.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

protons

These particles do not vary in quality from one element to another; rather, what gives an element its distinctive identification is the quantity of its protons, called its atomic number. Protons and neutrons contribute nearly all of an atom's mass; the number of protons and neutrons is an element's mass number
