Answer:

2.8

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the molarity of the acetylsalicylic acid solution.

M = mass of solute (g) / molar mass of solute × volume of solution (L)

M = 0.327 g / 180.158 g/mol × 0.237 L

M = 7.66 × 10⁻³ M

For a weak acid such as acetylsalicylic acid, we can find the concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where,

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(7.66 × 10⁻³ × 3.3 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 1.6 × 10⁻³ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 1.6 × 10⁻³ = 2.8

An ionic compound has the general form, xcly. which option for x and y correctly completes the formula?
igor_vitrenko [27]
Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

How to write an equilibrium constant expression ​
Lelechka [254]
The equilibrium constant expression is the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. Notice how each concentration of product or reactant is raised to the power of its coefficient. For example, the concentration of D is raised to the power of 3 since it is 3D in the balanced reaction.

Radiation is the most penetrating type of radiation
den301095 [7]

Answer: Gamma radiation

Explanation: Gamma radiation is very much like x rays. It has no charge, a very short wavelength and high energy. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating form of radiation considered in this section. It travels great distances through air (500 meters).

Classify each as acidic or basic - pH 9 - pH 2.3 - pH 11 - pH 5 - solution where the concentration of hydronium ions [H ] is 0.0
balu736 [363]

Answer:

pH = 9: Basic; pH = 2.3: acidic; pH = 11: basic; pH = 5: Acidic; [H⁺] = 0.0056M: Acidic; [H⁺] = 3.45E-9M: Basic

Explanation:

A solution is defined as acidic when pH < 7 and as basic when pH > 7.

Also, pH = -log[H⁺].

Thus:

pH = 9: >7 → Basic

pH = 2.3: <7 → Acidic

pH = 11: >7 → Basic

pH = 5: <7 → Acidic

[H⁺] = 0.0056M, pH = -log0.0056M = 2.25: <7: Acidic

[H⁺] = 3.45E-9M, pH = 8.46: > 7: Basic
