Answer: pH of solution is = 1.82

Explanation:

HNO_2\rightarrow H^+NO_2^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 0.500 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=4.6\times 10^{-4}

Putting in the values we get:

4.6\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.500\times \alpha)^2}{(0.500-0.500\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.030

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.500\times 0.030=0.015

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[0.015]=1.82

Thus pH of a 0.500 M HNO_2 solution is 1.82

A 0.150-kg sample of a metal alloy is heated at 540 Celsius an then plunged into a 0.400-kg of water at 10.0 Celsius, which is c
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

C_{alloy}=0.497\frac{J}{g\°C}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this calorimetry problem on equilibrium temperature, it is possible for us to infer that the heat released by the metal allow is absorbed by the water for us to write:

Q_{allow}=-(Q_{water}+Q_{Al})

Thus, by writing the aforementioned in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature, we have:

m_{alloy}C_{alloy}(T_{eq}-T_{alloy})=-(m_{water}C_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})+m_{Al}C_{Al}(T_{eq}-T_{Al})

Then, we solve for specific heat of the metallic alloy to obtain:

C_{alloy}=\frac{-(m_{water}C_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})+m_{Al}C_{Al}(T_{eq}-T_{Al})}{m_{alloy}(T_{eq}-T_{alloy})}

Thereby, we plug in the given data to obtain:

C_{alloy}=\frac{-(400g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C} (30.5\°C-10.0\°C)+200g*0.900\frac{J}{g\°C}(30.5\°C-10.0\°C)}{150g(30.5\°C-540\°C)} \\\\C_{alloy}=0.497\frac{J}{g\°C}

Regards!
