Answer:

The dissociation constant of phenol from given information is 9.34\times 10^{-11}.

Explanation:

The measured pH of the solution = 5.153

C_6H_5OH\rightarrow C_6H_5O^-+H^+

Initially      c

At eq'm   c-x       x  x

The expression of dissociation constant is given as:

K_a=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OOH]}

Concentration of phenoxide ions and hydrogen ions are equal to x.

pH=-\log[x]

5.153=-\log[x]

x=7.03\times 10^{-6} M

K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}=\frac{x^2}{(c-x)}=\frac{(7.03\times 10^{-6} M)^2}{ 0.529 M-7.03\times 10^{-6} M}

K_a=9.34\times 10^{-11}

The dissociation constant of phenol from given information is 9.34\times 10^{-11}.

luminum and oxygen react according to the following equation: 4Al(s) +3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) What mass of Al2O3, in grams, can
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: 8.7 grams

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.  

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{4.6g}{27g/mol}=0.17moles

4Al(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)

As oxygen is in excess, Aluminium is the limiting reagent and limits the formation of products.

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of aluminium give = 2 moles of Al_2O_3(s)

Thus 0.17 moles of aluminium give=\frac{2}{4}\times 0.17=0.085mol

Mass of Al_2O_3=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.085\times 102g/mol=8.7g

Thus the mass of Al_2O_3(s)  is 8.7 grams

If starch, glucose and NaCl are soaked in the dialysis tubing , will there be a difference between the beginning and after 15min
spin [16.1K]
<span>Yes. If you put solutions containing the same concentration table salt, glucose and starch in different bags and place the bags in water (i.e., 0M) solution, then the bag with salt will contain more water after 15 minutes than the bag with glucose, which will contain more than the bag with starch.</span>
