Answer:

[H^+]=0.00332M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the dissociation of valeric acid as:

HC_5H_9O_2 \rightleftharpoons C_5H_9O_2 ^-+H^+

Its corresponding law of mass action is:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][C_5H_9O_2^-]}{[HC_5H_9O_2]}

Now, by means of the change x due to dissociation, it becomes:

Ka=\frac{(x)(x)}{0.737-x}=1.5x10^{-5}

Solving for x we obtain:

x=0.00332M

Thus, since the concentration of hydronium equals x, the answer is:

[H^+]=x=0.00332M

Best regards.

One difference between mixtures and pure substances is that
defon

Answer:

The mixture is made up of different atoms and pure substance is made up of same type of atom.

The main difference is that mixture can be separated into its component by physical mean while pure substances can not be separated by physical process

Explanation:

Mixture:

  • The properties of the mixture are not same and contains the properties of all those component present in it.
  • it is a combination of one or more Pure substances and can be separated by simple physical methods.
  • it have varying boiling and melting point

Examples are:

  • mixture of salt and sand
  • Salt water is mixture of water and NaCl and can be separated by physical mean.
  • Alloys: its a mixture of different metal
  • Air: mixture of gases

Pure Substance:

Pure substances are those made of same type of atoms all elements and compounds are pure substances.

  • it can not be separated by simple physical mean
  • it have very constant and consistent melting and boiling point

Examples are:

  • Water : contain only water molecule
  • All elements: all elements are pure substance made of same atoms
  • All compounds: can not be separated by physical mean.

<u>Concepts used:</u>

1 mole of an element or a compound has 6.022 * 10²³ formula units

So, we can say that: <em>Number of formula units = number of moles * 6.022*10²³</em>

number of moles of an element or a compound = given mass/molar mass

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

<u>003 - </u><u>Number of CaH₂ formula units in 6.065 grams</u>

Number of Moles:

We know that the molar mass of CaH₂ is 42 grams/mol

Number of Moles of CaH₂ = given mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.065 / 42

Number of moles = 0.143 moles

Number of Formula units:

Number of formula units = number of moles * 6.022*10²³

= 0.143 * 6.022 * 10²³

= 0.86 * 10²³ formula units

__________________________________________________________

<u>004 </u><u>- Mass of 6.34 * 10²⁴ formula units of NaBF₄</u>

Number of Moles:

We mentioned this formula before:

<em>Number of formula units = number of moles * 6.022*10²³</em>

Solving it for number of moles, we get:

Number of moles = Number of Formula units / 6.022* 10²³

replacing the variable

Number of moles = 6.34 * 10²⁴ / 6.022*10²³

Number of moles=  10.5 moles

Mass of 10.5 moles of NaBF₄:

Molar mass of NaBF₄ = 38 grams/mol

Mass of 10.5 moles = 10.5 * molar mass

Mass of 10.5 moles = 10.5 * 38

Mass = 399 grams

__________________________________________________________

<u>005</u><u> - Number of moles in 9.78 * 10²¹ formula units of CeI₃</u>

Number of Moles:

We have the formula:

Number of moles = Number of Formula units / 6.022* 10²³

replacing the variables

Number of Moles = 9.78 * 10²¹ / 6.022*10²³

Number of Moles = 1.6 / 10²

Number of Moles = 1.6 * 10⁻² moles   OR   0.016 moles

A sample of propane (C3H8) has a mass of 0. 47 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1. 350 kg and a
Nady [450]

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.

The specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The specific heat has been expressed as:

q=mc\Delta T

<h3 /><h3>Computation for the heat absorbed</h3>

The iron and calorimeter are in side the closed system. Thus, the energy released by the sample, has been equivalent to the energy absorbed by the calorimeter.

q_{released}=q_{absorbed}\\&#10;q_{released}=m_{calorimeter}\;c_{calorimeter}\;\Delta T

The given mass of calorimeter has been, m_{calorimeter}=1350\;\rm g

The specific heat of the calorimeter has been, c_{calorimeter}=5.82\;\rm J/g^\circ C

The change in temperature of the calorimeter has been, \Delta T=2.87^\circ \rm C

Substituting the values for heat released:

q_{released}= 1350\;\text g\;\times\;5.82\;\text J/\text g^\circ \text C\;\times\;2.87^\circ \text C\\&#10;q_{released}=22,549.5\;\text J\\&#10;q_{released}}=22.54\;\rm kJ

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.
