The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.
- An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
- The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.
<u>Given:</u>
Concentration of HNO3 = 7.50 M
% dissociation of HNO3 = 33%
<u>To determine:</u>
The Ka of HNO3
<u>Explanation:</u>
Based on the given data
[H+] = [NO3-] = 33%[HNO3] = 0.33*7.50 = 2.48 M
The dissociation equilibrium is-
HNO3 ↔ H+ + NO3-
I 7.50 0 0
C -2.48 +2.48 +2.48
E 5.02 2.48 2.48
Ka = [H+][NO3-]/HNO3 = (2.48)²/5.02 = 1.23
Ans: Ka for HNO3 = 1.23
Of course we would experience them.
