What does it mean for a weak acid to be in equilibrium

Chemistry

ipn [44]4 years ago

When an uncharged weak acid is added to water, a homogeneous equilibrium forms in which aqueous acid molecules, HA(aq), react with liquid water to form aqueous hydronium ions and aqueous anions, A-<span>(aq). The latter are produced when the acid molecules lose H+ ions to water.</span>

Weak acid dissociates partially in water to form hydronium ion and conjugate base of the acid. Since the acid is weak the conjugate base is strong. Acetic acid is a weak acid which dissolves in water to form hydronium ion and acetate ions (conjugate base).  

CH₃COOH + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

What can be added to a solution to control the pH?
Zanzabum

Answer:

liquid

Explanation:

Adjusting pH in Water

Pure or distilled water has a pH level of 7, which means it is neutral. If you want to increase the pH of water, you must add an alkaline substance, such as baking powder, to it. If you want to decrease the pH of water, you add an acidic substance, such as lemon juice, to it

How many grams of FeO would be needed to make 234.2 grams of Fe in the chemical reaction 4FeO = Fe3O4 + Fe? Show your work.
Scorpion4ik [409]

The grams  of FeO  that would  be needed to make 234.2 grams  of Fe  is

1204.42 grams


<u><em> calculation</em></u>

4 FeO → Fe₃O₄ +Fe

Step 1: find the  moles  of  fe

moles  =  mass /molar mass

from periodic table the  molar mass of Fe  = 56 g/mol

moles = 234.2 g/56 g/mol = 4.182  moles


Step 2: use  the mole ratio to determine the moles of  FeO

FeO: Fe  is 4:1 therefore the  moles of FeO  =4.182 moles  x4 =16.728  moles


Step 3:   find  the mass of FeO

mass = moles  x molar  mass

The molar mass of FeO = 56 +16 = 72 g /mol

mass  = 16.728 moles  x 72 g/mol= 1204.42 grams

What is the ph of 0.09m solution of HBr​
fomenos

Answer: 1.05

Explanation:

On ionization, hydrobromic acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ion and bromine ion. The equation is stated below

HBr <--> H+ + Br-

Recall that pH = - log(H+)

Concentration of hydrogen ion (H+) = 0.09M

So, pH = - log (0.09)

pH = - (-1.05)

pH = 1.05

The pH of 0.09M solution of HBr is 1.05. Thus, it is highly acidic.

White gold is an alloy that typically contains 60.0% by mass gold and the remainder is platinum. if 175 g of gold are available,
weeeeeb [17]
If a sample of white gold alloy contains 60 percent by mass of gold while the remaining is platinum, then the alloy would contain 40 percent by mass of platinum. <span>Percentage by mass is the amount in mass units of a component in a mixture per 100 unit if mass of the total mixture. We are given the amount of gold available, this represents the 60 percent of the alloy. We calculate for the amount of platinum needed as follows:

Percent of platinum = mass of platinum / mass of gold + mass of platinum
0.40 = mass of platinum / 175 g + mass of platinum
mass of platinum = 117 g</span>
