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.

What is the most soluble salt of the following set? What is the most soluble salt of the following set?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

(c) AgCN\ (K_{sp} =6.0\times 10^{-17})

Explanation:

The solubility product of a solid is the amount of solid dissociates into its respective ions in the solution. Thus more the value of the Ksp, the more is the salt soluble in the solvent.

So,  Given that:-

Sn(OH)_2\ (K_{sp} =1.6\times 10^{-19})

Al(OH)_3\ (K_{sp} =1.9\times 10^{-33})

AgCN\ (K_{sp} =6.0\times 10^{-17})

Fe(OH)_3\ (K_{sp} =2.6\times 10^{-39})

The salt having highest value of Ksp is AgCN. So, it is most soluble.

Predict the boiling point of water at a pressure of 1.5 atm.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

100.8 °C

Explanation:

The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:

ln\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}} =-Δ\frac{H_{vap}}{r} (\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}}  )

Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'

Isolating for T2 gives:

T_{2}=(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{Rln\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} }{Delta H_{vap}}

(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)

thus T2=100.8 °C
