Atoms are generally neutral because they have an equal amount of protons and electrons.

If acetic acid is the only acid that vinegar contains (ka=1.8×10−5), calculate the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

kicyunya [14]

Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.

$CH_{3}COOH \ \textless \ ---\ \textgreater \ H^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)

pH = 2.88 ==> $[H^{+}]$ = $10^{-2.88}$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

The change in Concentration Δ $[CH_{3}COOH]$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

  CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial   $moldm^{-3}$      $x$ 0 0

Change $moldm^{-3}$ -0.001 +0.001 +0.001

Equilibrium $moldm^{-3}$ $x$ - 0.001 0.001 0.001


Since the $k_{a}$ value is so small, the assumption
$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}$ can be made.

$k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}$

Solve for x to get the required concentration.

note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.

2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind

Hope this helps!

In a single displacement reaction between sodium phosphate and barium, how much of each product (in grams) will be formed from 1

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

A. 3.36g of Na.

B. 14.62g of Ba3(PO4)2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

3Ba + 2Na3PO4 → 6Na + Ba3(PO4)2

Next, we shall determine the mass of Ba that reacted and the mass of Na and Ba3(PO4)2 produced from the equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of Ba = 137g/mol

Mass of Ba from the balanced equation = 3 x 137 = 411g

Molar mass of Na = 23g/mol

Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 6 x 23 = 138g

Molar mass of Ba3(PO4)2 = (3 x 137) + 2[31 + (4x16)] = 411 + 2[31 + 64] = 601g/mol

Mass of Ba3(PO4)2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 601 = 601g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

411g of Ba reacted to produce 138g of Na and 601g of Ba3(PO4)2.

A. Determination of the mass of Na produced by reacting 10g of Ba.

From the balanced equation above,

411g of Ba reacted to produce 138g of Na.

Therefore, 10g of Ba will react to produce = (10 x 138)/411 = 3.36g of Na.

Therefore, 3.36g of Na is produced.

B. Determination of the mass of Ba3(PO4)2 produced by reacting 10g of Ba.

From the balanced equation above,

411g of Ba reacted to produce 601g of Ba3(PO4)2.

Therefore, 10g of Ba will react to produce = (10 x 601)/411 = 14.62g of Ba3(PO4)2.

Therefore, 14.62g of Ba3(PO4)2 is produced.
