Answer : The concentration of benzoic acid in this solution was, 0.149 M

Explanation :

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be,

                          C_6H_5COOH\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5COO^-+H^+

initially conc.             c                     0                0

At eqm.                    c(1-α)                cα              cα

The expression for dissociation constant is:

k_a=\frac{c\alpha\times c\alpha}{c(1-\alpha)}

when α is very very small the, the expression will be,

k_a=\frac{c^2\alpha^2}{c}=c\alpha^2

Given:

α = 2.05 % = 0.0205

K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}

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

6.3\times 10^{-5}=c\times (0.0205)^2

c = 0.149 M

Therefore, the concentration of benzoic acid in this solution was, 0.149 M

In matter results in a change in its identity and properties.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The chemical change in matter is results in a change in its identity and properties.

Explanation:

There are toe type of changes physical change and chemical change.

The chemical change change in matter lead to lost its identity and properties.

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:  

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

3. Determine the pH of each of the following solutions. (Hint: See Sample Problem B.) a. 1.0 x 10-2 M HCI c. 1.0 x 10-MHI b. 1.0
densk [106]

Answer:

a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable

Explanation:

pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]

                    and inversely

pOH = -log[OH-]

1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)

2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.

a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl

HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)

pH = 2

b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3

HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)

pH = 3

c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI

Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(0.10)

pH = 1

d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.

Consider the half reactions below for a chemical reaction.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Option A:

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

Explanation:

The half reactions given are:

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)

From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).

While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.

Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
