if you throw a heavy log into the fireplace, after it burns you are left with some ash. the ash has a mass much less then the ma

ss of the original log. this seems to go against the law of conservation of mass. please explain what we are forgetting.

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)$

Calculate the amount of $CO_{2}$ dissolved as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

It is given that $K_{CO_{2}}$ = 0.032 M/atm and $P_{CO_{2}}$ = $1.9 \times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Hence, $[CO_{2}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$[CO_{2}]$ = $K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

= $0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm$

= $0.0608 \times 10^{-4}$

or, = $0.608 \times 10^{-5}$

It is given that $K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}$

As, $K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}$

$4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}$

$[H^{+}]^{2}$ = $2.71 \times 10^{-12}$

$[H^{+}]$ = $1.64 \times 10^{-6}$

Since, we know that pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

So, pH = $-log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})$

= 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g). What mass of water is produced from the complete combustion of 5.00×10−3 g of methane?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

1gram of water

Explanation:

First balance the equation

Ch4+2O2>CO2+2H2O

Ratio is 1:2

500×10-3what about 2?

500×10-3×2=1g

What is true at stp? A)the temperature is 273.15 kelvin, B)one mole of gas occupies one liter of volume. C)pressure is at 101 vo

fgiga [73]

STP stands for standard temperature and pressure. Standard pressure is equivalent to 1 atm, and standard temperature is equivalent to 273.15 K. Therefore, your answer is A. the temperature is 273.15 kelvin.

Hope this helps!
