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.

A 700.0 mL gas sample at STP is compressed to a volume of 200.0 mL, and the temperature is increased to 30.0°C. What is the new
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The new pressure of the gas in Pa is 388462

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas at STP = 10^5Pa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 700.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = 200.0 ml

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 30^oC=273+30=303K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{10^5\times 700.0ml}{273K}=\frac{P_2\times 200.0ml}{303K}

P_2=388462Pa

The new pressure of the gas in Pa is 388462

Answer: B. 1:2

Explanation: Beryllium and chlorine forms a binary ionic compound. Ionic compound is formed when a metal loses its electrons to a receiving non metal. Beryllium (metal) has two valence electrons while chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons, and so a beryllium atom has to give out its two valence electrons to attain a duplet stable structure while a chlorine atom will gain one electron to attain its stable octet structure. In the reaction between beryllium and chlorine, two atoms of chlorine have to accept the two electrons from one beryllium atom to attain their stable octet structure.

The formula of the compound formed is BeCl2.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.
