Answer:

1.68% is ionized

Explanation:

The Ka of benzoic acid, C₇H₆O₂, is 6.46x10⁻⁵, the equilibrium in water of this acid is:

C₇H₆O₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₇H₅O₂⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Ka = 6.46x10⁻⁵ = [C₇H₅O₂⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [C₇H₆O₂]

<em>Where [] are concentrations in equilibrium</em>

In equilibrium, some 0.225M of the acid will react producing both C₇H₅O₂⁻ and H₃O⁺, the equilibrium concentrations are:

[C₇H₆O₂] = 0.225-X

[C₇H₅O₂⁻] = X

[H₃O⁺] = X

Replacing:

6.46x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.225-X]

1.4535x10⁻⁵ - 6.46x10⁻⁵X = X²

1.4535x10⁻⁵ - 6.46x10⁻⁵X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = -0.0038. False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00378M. Right solution.

That means percent ionization (100 times Amount of benzoic acid ionized  over the initial concentration of the acid) is:

0.00378M / 0.225M * 100 =

<h3>1.68% is ionized</h3>

Which is true for every atom of an element?
antoniya [11.8K]

C. It has mass and volume

Explanation:

Every atom of an element has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of substance it contains this is usually a function of their subatomic particles.

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus where we have protons and neutrons. Electrons do not really add much to the mass of an atom.

Atoms also have specific volume.

  • The reason for our selection is that atoms are the smallest particle of matter.
  • Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.
  • Since it is matter, it must have specific weight and volume
