Why do you need to know the balanced chemical equation before calculating the amount of a compound needed to neutralize an acid

or a base?

Answer: To determine the mole ratio

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is needed ,because it helps to determine the mole ratio of acid and base.

The mole ratio ensures that the number of moles of H+ provided by the acid is equal to number of moles of OH- ion provided by the base, For neutralization to occur, this must be the case.

Which of the following acids is the WEAKEST? The acid is followed by its Ka value.HF, 3.5 × 10^-4HNO2, 4.6 × 10^-4HCN, 4.9 × 10^
Mila [183]

Answer:

HCN

Explanation:

There are several factors that can tell us when an acid is stronger than another, which are the following:

1. The Polarity of the X - H Bond

2. Size of the X atom.

3. Charge on the acid.

4. Oxidation state of the central atom

5. Values of Ka and pKa.

From all of this factors, we can see that the exercise is already giving us values of Ka, and also we have different types of acid, not only with the form H - X

So, we will base the force of an acid by it's pKa value.

The pKa value which is calculated with the expression:

pKa = -logKa

pKa is a value that indicates how strong is the acid you are working with. This value can vary depending on factors such the charge of the acid. I f this charge can be easily distributed in resonance structures, the compound is more acidic, and therefore the pKa value is lower.

The lower the pKa, the more acidic the compound is.

So calculating the pKa on every structure we have:

HF: pKa = -log(3.5x10^-4) = 3.46

HNO2: pKa = -log(4.6x10^-4) = 3.34

HCN: pKa = -log(4.9x10^-10) = 9.31

HCOOH: pKa = -log(1.8x10^-4) = 3.74

HClO2: -log(1.1x10^-2) = 1.96

So according to all this values, we can conclude that the weakest acid is the HCN

What is the density of CHCL3 vapor at 1.00atm and 298K?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

4.8 g/mL is the density of chloroform vapor at 1.00 atm and 298 K.

Explanation:

By ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

Number of moles (n)

can be written as: n=\frac{m}{M}

where, m = given mass

M = molar mass

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\\PM=\frac{m}{V}RT

where,

\frac{m}{V}=d which is known as density of the gas

The relation becomes:

PM=dRT    .....(1)

We are given:

M = molar mass of chloroform= 119.5 g/mol

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the gas = 298K

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.00atm\times 119.5g/mol=d\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\d=4.88g/L

4.8 g/mL is the density of chloroform vapor at 1.00 atm and 298 K.

A rectangular solid measures 1.0m by 5.6cm by 2.1mm express its volume in cubic meters
Lemur [1.5K]
First, make sure all three measurements have the same unit (I recommend meters because that's what the question calls for)

1.0m=1.0m
5.6cm=0.056m
2.1mm=0.0021m


Then, you just want to multiply the three together to get the total volume.
1.0X0.056X0.0021=0.0001176 or 0.00012, if your teacher wants you to use proper sig figs
