Answer:

1. Ka = 8.16x10⁻⁵

2. pH = 2.40

Explanation:

1. The dissociation of a weak acid in water occurs as follows:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

Ka = [H⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]

As 2% of the 0.20M solution is dissociated:

[H⁺] = [A⁻] = 0.20M * 2% = 0.004M -As H⁺ and A⁻ comes from the same reaction, their concentrations are the same

[HA] = 0.20M * 98% = 0.196M

Ka = (0.004)² / (0.196M) = 8.16x10⁻⁵

2. pH = -log [H⁺] = -log [0.004M]

<h3>pH = 2.40</h3>

Solid lead IV oxide decomposes into solid lead and oxygen gas.

vredina [299]

The balanced equation for the decomposition of solid lead iv oxide is as follows: 2PbO2 = 2PbO + O2.
Lead IV oxide decompose to give lead ll oxide and oxygen. Lead iv oxide is thermally unstable and it usually decomposes into oxygen and lead ll oxide when heated. Lead ll oxide is more stable than lead lV oxide.

It is found that a gas undergoes a first-order decomposition reaction. If the rate constant for this reaction is 8.1 x 10-2 /min

kap26 [50]

Answer:

28.43 min

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = $8.1\times 10^{-2}$ min⁻¹

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = 0.1 M

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = $1.0\times 10^{-2}$ M

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$1.0\times 10^{-2}=0.1e^{-8.1\times 10^{-2}\times t}$

$0.1e^{-8.1\times \:10^{-2}t}=10^{-2}$

$e^{-8.1\times \:10^{-2}t}=\frac{1}{10}$

$\ln \left(e^{-8.1\times \:10^{-2}t}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)$

$t=28.43\ min$

If the temperature on 244 mL of a gas is changed to 488 mL and 6 atm, at constant

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

<h2>12 atm</h2>

Explanation:

To find the initial pressure we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the initial pressure

$P_1 = \frac{P_2V_2}{V_1} \\$

From the question we have

$P_1 = \frac{488 \times 6}{244} = \frac{2928}{244} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 atm</h3>

What is the volume, in cubic meters, of an object that is 0.21 m long, 4.7 m wide, and 5.3 m high?

oee [108]

Answer:

The formula for volume of a rectangle is length multiply by width multiply thus, 0.25 m multiply 6.1 m multiply by 4.9 m = 7.5m^3.

Explanation:

the least number of significant figures is 2 thus the final answer will have the same number of significant figures. 7.5m^3
