Answer: the pH of the solution is 4.52

Explanation:

Consider the weak acid as Ha, it is dissociated as expressed below

HA     H⁺  +  A⁻

the Henderson -Haselbach equation can be expressed as;

pH = pKa + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

the weak acid is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻ ions in the solution.

now the conjugate base of the weak acid HA is

HA(aq) {weak acid}     H⁺(aq)  +  A⁻(aq) {conjugate base}

so now we calculate the value of Kₐ as well as pH value by substituting the values of the concentrations into the equation;

pKₐ = -logKₐ

pKₐ = -log ( 7.4×10⁻⁵ )

pKₐ = 4.13

now thw pH is

pH = pKₐ  + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

pH = 4.13 + log( [0.540] / [0.220])

pH = 4.13 + 0.3899

pH = 4.5199 = 4.52

Therefore the pH of the solution is 4.52

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

b) increases by a factor of about 2.

Explanation:

Ignore the nitrogen and oxygen. Each gas acts independently of the others.

You have 0.02 mol of CO₂ gas at some pressure in equilibrium with the CO₂ in solution.

According to Graham's Law,

S  = kp

That is, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid.

If you add another 0.02 mol of CO₂, you have doubled the number of moles.

According to Avogadro's Law, doubling the number of moles doubles the pressure.

According to Graham's Law, doubling the pressure doubles the solubility.

The solubility of CO₂ increases by a factor of two.

This is the chemical formula for talc (the main ingredient in talcum powder):
MAXImum [283]

Answer : 6.41 moles of silicon are in the sample.

Solution : Given,

Moles of magnesium = 9.62 moles

The given chemical formula for talc is, Mg_3Si_2O_{52}OH_2

From the given chemical formula we conclude that

The stoichiometry of magnesium and silicon is 3 : 2

3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of silicon

9.62 moles of magnesium will be equivalent to \frac{2}{3}\times 9.62=6.41 moles of silicon

Therefore, the number of silicon present in sample are 6.41 moles.

Aluminum reacts with oxygen to form aluminum oxide. Select the correct unbalanced skeleton equation for this reaction. A. Al(s)
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D. Al(s) + O₂(g) → Al₂O₃(s)

Explanation:

Aluminum is a solid metal, so it is written as Al(s).

Oxygen is a diatomic gas, so we write this compound as O₂(g).

Aluminum oxide has the formula Al₂O₃ because in oxides the oxidation number of oxygen atom is -2 and for aluminum, the oxidation number is 3. Thus, we write this compound as Al₂O₃(s).

Now, we have to found the chemical equation in which the reactants (left side) are Al(s) and O₂(g) while the product (right side) is Al₂O₃(s). From the options, we can see that the correct is (D):

Al(s) + O₂(g) → Al₂O₃(s)

Fudgin [204]
<h2>Gas Molecules Move in Random Motion </h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the property of an ideal gas the volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves is negligible as compared to the volume occupied by the gas
  • The molecules of ideal gas obey Newton's laws of motion thus they move in random motion
  • According to the above statements we can conclude that Helium gas can fill many more balloons as compared to fit the baloons inside the cylinder because the particles of gas is free to move in random motion and can occupy more volume
