Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

        HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Hence, number of moles of NaOH are as follows.

        n = 0.05 L \times 0.1 M

           = 0.005 mol

After the addition of 25 ml of base, the pH of a solution is 3.62. Hence, moles of NaOH is 25 ml base are as follows.

             n = 0.025 L \times 0.1 M

                = 0.0025 mol

According to ICE table,

         HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Initial:     0.005 mol   0.0025 mol              0                  0

Change: -0.0025 mol  -0.0025 mol        +0.0025 mol

Equibm:   0.0025 mol    0                         0.0025 mol

Hence, concentrations of HA and NaA are calculated as follows.

          [HA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

        [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

       [A^{-}] = [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

Now, we will calculate the pK_{a} value as follows.

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{A^{-}}{HA}

       pK_{a} = pH - log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

                  = 3.42 - log \frac{\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}}{\frac{0.0025}{V}}

                  = 3.42

Thus, we can conclude that pK_{a} of the weak acid is 3.42.

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

  • Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
  • Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
  • Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

  • The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.
  • Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
  • In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.

A volume of 90.0 mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) was titrated against a standard solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). What
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question:  0.7 M

Explanation:

Data

V of KOH = 90 ml

[KOH] = ?

V H2SO4 = 21.2 ml

[H2SO4] = 1.5 M

                       2KOH(aq)  +  H₂SO₄(aq)   →   K₂SO₄(aq)  +  2H₂O(l)

Molarity = moles / volume

moles of H₂SO₄ = (1.5) (21.2)

                           = 31.8

                    2 moles of KOH --------------  1 mol of H₂SO₄

                   x                           --------------  31.8 mol of H₂SO₄

                    x = (31.8)(2) / 1

                    x = 63.8 moles of KOH

Molarity = 63.8 / 90

             = 0.7 M

A solution contains 0.115 mol h2o and an unknown number of moles of nacl. the vapor pressure of the solution at 30°c is 25.7 tor
Valentin [98]
According to Raoult's low:
We will use this formula: Vp(Solution) = mole fraction of solvent * Vp(solvent)
∴ mole fraction of solvent = Vp(Solu) / Vp (Solv)
when we have Vp(solu) = 25.7 torr & Vp(solv) = 31.8 torr 
So by substitution:
∴ mole fraction of solvent = 25.7 / 31.8 =0.808 
when we assume the moles of solute NaCl = X 
and according to the mole fraction of solvent formula:
mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent / (moles of solvent + moles of solute)
by substitute:
∴ 0.808 = 0.115 / (0.115 + X)
 So X (the no.of moles of NaCl) = 0.027 m

Pls help asap!!!!
AVprozaik [17]

Answer: The pressure of the He is 2.97 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{He}.

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = 6.50 atm

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of Nitrogen = 1.23 atm

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = 2.3 atm

p_{He} = partial pressure of Helium = ?

putting in the values we get:

6.50atm=1.23atm+2.3atm+p_{He}  

p_{He}=2.97atm

The pressure of the He is 2.97 atm
