The weak acid HA is 2% ionized (dissociated) in a 0.20 M solution.

Chemistry
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]3 years ago

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>

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent
Dafna1 [17]
The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.

For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.

During a combustion reaction, 9.00 grams of oxygen reacted with 3.00 grams of CH4.
Monica [59]

Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost 20%% of it's value and it now currently at $$1039, we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8
