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>

Select all the correct images<br><br> Select the atoms that belong to the same element
mezya [45]

Answer: Atoms with 11 protons, 10 neutrons and 11 electrons belong to the same element with 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 11 electrons.

Explanation:

Elements that contain same number of valence electrons belong to the same group. This is because they will have same reactivity (or properties) due to which they lie in the same group.

For example, element with 11 protons, 10 neutrons and 11 electrons is same as the element with 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 11 electrons.

Hence, both these atoms belong to the same element.

Thus, we can conclude that atoms with 11 protons, 10 neutrons and 11 electrons belong to the same element with 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 11 electrons.
