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.

According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate). 

(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt 

(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol 

So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation of cobalt(ii) carbonate from aqueous solution
andrey2020 [161]
Missing question: Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and cobalt(II) bromide are combined.<span>Balanced chemical reaction:
(NH</span>₄)₂CO₃(aq) + CoBr₂(aq) → CoCO₃(s) + 2NH₄Br(aq).
Net ionic reaction:
2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) → CoCO₃ + 2NH₄(aq)+ 2Br(aq).
or CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) → CoCO₃(s).
