Answer:

Sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Acid strength (in water) is measured as the equilibria of dissociation of the acid into hydronium and its conjugated base. The greater the Ka value, greater the acid strength.

This equilibrium constant is denominated Ka $Ka=\frac{[H+]}{[HA]}$ where [H+] stands for the molar concentration of hydronium and [HA] stands for the molar concentration of the non-dissociated acid.

The Ka values for these acids are: $1.02x10^{-2}$ for HClO2; $6.4x10^{-4}$ for HF; $5.8x10^{-10}$ for HBO3; $1.2x10^{-2}$ for H2SO3 and $1.x10^{3}$ for H2SO4

So, as the greatest Ka is from H2SO4 it is the strongest acid in this list.

A chemist titrates of a hypochlorous acid solution with solution at . Calculate the pH at equivalence. The of hypochlorous acid

const2013 [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist titrates 110.0 mL of a 0.2412 M hypochlorous acid (HCIO) solution with 0.0613 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pKa of hypochlorous acid is 7.50. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Answer: The pH of the solution is 10.09

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HClO$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.2412M\\V_1=110.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0613M\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.2412\times 110.0=1\times 0.0613\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.2412\times 110.0}{1\times 0.0613}=432.8mL$

At equivalence, the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base. Also, the moles of salt which is NaClO will also be the same.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For HClO:

Molarity of HClO solution = 0.2412 M

Volume of solution = 110.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.2412M=\frac{\text{Moles of HClO}\times 1000}{110}\\\\\text{Moles of HClO}=\frac{(0.2412\times 110)}{1000}=0.026532mol$

For NaClO:

Moles of NaClO = 0.026532 moles

Volume of solution = [432.8 + 110] mL = 542.8 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of NaClO}=\frac{0.026532\times 1000}{542.8}=0.0489M$

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[pK_a+\log C]$

where,

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of weak acid which is hypochlorous acid = 7.50

C = concentration of the salt = 0.0489 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[7.50+\log (0.0489)]\\\\pH=7+3.09=10.09$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.09

Determine the temperature change when 150. G block of gold is supplied with 1.00 • 10 ^3 J of heat

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

∇T = 51.68°C

Explanation:

Mass = 150g

Heat Energy (Q) = 1.0*10³J

Change in temperature ∇T = ?

Q = mc∇T

Q = heat energy

M = mass

C = specific heat capacity of the gold = 0.129j/g°C

∇T = change in temperature

Q = Mc∇T

1.0*10³ = 150 * 0.129 * ∇T

1000 = 19.35∇T

Solve for ∇T

∇T = 1000 / 19.35

∇T = 51.679°C = 51.68°C

The change in temperature of gold was 51.68°C
