Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>

What is the OH- ion concentration, in moles per liter, of an aqueous solution with a pH of 7?
topjm [15]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

the pH scale is based on the function

1x10-14

So since pH is neutral the concentration of OH and H must be equal hence the only option in which the concetration would [OH]{H}= 1x10-14 would be when both are equal so it cannot be a or d and when they are expressed in concetration so the only option is B.

A 1M solution is made of each item in a pair. When would this combination create a buffer? Chose the pairs below that you could
monitta

Answer:

b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO.

Explanation:

A buffer system may be formed in one of two forms:

  • A weak acid with its conjugate base.
  • A weak base with its conjugate acid.

Chose the pairs below that you could use to make a buffered solution.

a. HCI/NaOH. NO. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base.

b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO. YES. HCOOH is a weak acid and HCOO⁻ (coming from NaHCOO) is its conjugate base.

c. HNO₂/H₂SO₃. NO. Both are acids and they are unrelated to each other.

d. NaNO₃/ HNO₃. NO. HNO₃ is a strong acid.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the system has increased as a result of the temperature increasing.

Explanation:

Assuming this is a gas based on the framing.

The molecules of a gas span a distribution of speeds, and the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the sample. KEavg is proportional to T.

This can be further studied until the Kinetic-Molecular Theory.
