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

If 0. 3 moles of H2O were produced, how many moles of carbon dioxide would also have been produced?
grigory [225]

In a chemical reaction, 0. 3 moles of H2O result in the production of 0.2 moles of CO2. Chemical reactions are the means through which one group of chemical compounds are changed into another.

Chemical reactions are typically defined as changes that only affect the positions of electrons in the formation and breakage of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (i.e., no change to the elements present). These types of changes are often included in the term chemical reactions.

Number of moles Definition We utilize this enormous quantity to measure atoms. Additionally, it equals the 6.022* 10 23 atoms that make up 12 grammes of carbon-12, or atoms.

C2H6 + 7/2O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O,

where moles(CO2)=(2*0,3)/3=0.2 mol,

and n(CO2)=(2*0,3)/3=n(H2O);

n(CO2)=n(CO2)=n(H2O).

What form of matter has a definite shape and takes up space?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

If something is in a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies. A block of wood placed on a table retains its shape and volume, therefore, it is an example of a solid. If a liquid is poured on that same table, there are very different results

Which type of relationship exists between Alaskan brown bears and salmon? A. predation B. mutualism C. competition D. commensali
aksik [14]

Answer:

A. predation.

Explanation:

Predation is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism which is known as predator feeds upon another organism thereby killing it. The organism which is killed by predator is known as prey. In such interaction one organism is benefited while another one is harmed.

Brown bears of Alaska feed upon salmon. In order to so they have developed many ways which include waiting at the bottom of falls from where salmons pass by or standing at the bottom of the falls.

Ammonia can be produced via the chemicalreaction
otez555 [7]

Answer:

3)The reaction is not at equilibrium and willproceed to the right.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient of an equilibrium reaction measures relative amounts of the products and the reactants present during the course of the reaction at  particular point in the time.

It is the ratio of the concentration of the products and the reactants each raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. The concentration of the liquid and the gaseous species does not change and thus is not written in the expression.

Q < Kc , reaction will proceed in forward direction.

Q > Kc , reaction will proceed in backward direction.

Q = Kc , reaction at equilibrium.

Given that:

Q = 3.56\times 10^{-4}

K = 6.02\times 10^{-2}

Since, Q < K , reaction is not at equilibrium and will proceed to right, in forward direction.
