Answer : The acid dissociation constant Ka of the acid is, 8.7\times 10^{-5}

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion.

pH=-\log [H^+]

Given: pH = 4.06

4.06=-\log [H^+]

[H^+]=8.71\times 10^{-5}M

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

                         HA\rightarrow H^++A^-

Initial conc.      c        0         0

At eqm.           c-cα    cα       cα

Given:

Degree of dissociation = α = 0.10 % = 0.001

[H^+]=c\alpha

8.71\times 10^{-5}=c\times 0.001

c=0.0871M

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

K_a=\frac{(c\times \alpha)\times (c\times \alpha)}{(c-c\alpha)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

K_a=\frac{(0.0871\times 0.001)\times (0.0871\times 0.001)}{(0.0871-0.0871\times 0.001)}

K_a=8.7\times 10^{-5}

Thus, the acid dissociation constant Ka of the acid is, 8.7\times 10^{-5}

During the first half of the 20th century, the theory of plate tectonics was developed. Evidence supporting this theory included
Makovka662 [10]

A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of  GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.

GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.

Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.

  • The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
  • It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
  • With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
  • Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
  • Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.

The atmosphere's variable gases that most influence the greenhouse effect are _____. nitrogen and oxygen argon and carbon dioxid
Katena32 [7]
The correct answer is carbon dioxide and water vapor

These negative gasses get modified and then remain in the atmosphere without the possibility of leaving, which is why the greenhouse effect occurs.

A 4.36-g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 mL of water. An acid-base indicator is added, and the
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Rb+

Explanation:

Since they are telling us that the equivalence point was reached after 17.0 mL of   2.5 M HCl were added , we can calculate the number of moles of HCl which neutralized our unknown hydroxide.

Now all the choices for the metal cation are monovalent, therefore the general formula for our unknown is XOH and  we know the reaction is 1 equivalent acid to 1 equivalent base. Thus we have the number of moles, n,  of XOH and from the relation n = M/MW we can calculate the molecular weight of XOH.

Thus our calculations are:

V = 17.0 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.017 L

2.5 M HCl x 0.017 L = 2.5 mol/ L x 0.017 L = 0.0425 mol

0.0425 mol = 4.36 g/ MW XOH

MW of XOH = (atomic weight of X + 16 + 1)

so solving the above equation we get:

0.0425 = 4.36 / (X + 17 )

0.7225 +0.0425X = 4.36

0.0425X = 4.36 -0.7225 = 3.6375

X = 3.6375/0.0425 = 85.59

The unknown alkali is Rb which has an atomic weight of 85.47 g/mol

Answer:

FeCl3 is the limiting reactant

O2 is in excess

Theoretical yield Cl2 = 9.84 grams

The % yield is 96.5 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of FeCl3 = 15.0 grams

Moles O2 = 4.0 moles

Mass of Cl2 produced = 9.5 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

4FeCl3 + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 6Cl2

Step 3: Calculate moles FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = mass FeCl3 / molar mass FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = 15.0 grams / 162.2 g/mol

Moles FeCl3 = 0.0925 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

FeCl3 is the limiting reactant. Because we have way more (more than ratio 3:4) moles O2 than FeCl3. It will completely be consumed (0.0925 moles). O2 is in excess. There will react = 0.069375 moles O2

There will remain 4.0 - 0.069375 = 3.930625 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles Cl2

For 4 moles FeCl3 we need 3 moles O2 to produce 2 moles Fe2O3 and 6 moles Cl2

For 0.0925 moles FeCl3 moles we'll have 6/4 * 0.0925 = 0.13875 moles Cl2.

Step 6: Calculate mass Cl2

Mass Cl2 = moles * molar mass

Mass Cl2 = 0.13875 moles * 70.9 g/mol

Mass Cl2 = 9.84 grams

Step 7: Calculate % yield

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

% yield = (9.5 grams / 9.84 grams ) * 100%

% yield = 96.5 %

The % yield is 96.5 %
