Answer:

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is 1.099\times 10^{-3}.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 2.46

pH=-\log[H^+]

2.46=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.003467 M

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-

Initially

0.0144         0      0

At equilibrium

(0.0144-x)       x       x

The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :

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

K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(0.0144-x)}

x=[H^+]=0.003467 M

K_a=\frac{0.003467 \times 0.003467 }{(0.0144-0.003467 )}

K_a=1.099\times 10^{-3}

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is 1.099\times 10^{-3}.

What are some advantages and disadvantages to the acid rain management techniques?
mr_godi [17]
Disadvantages of acid rain:
• Acid rain affects the fresh water ponds and lakes and destroys the aquatic life as some species of fishes are rare and may be extinct
• it can affect the trees particularly those that are high altitude
• It can damage historical monuments and buildings
•soil can be affected and can lead to deaths of good microbes

Advantages of acid rain:
• it makes holes in limestone below ground, which creates caves and places to store groundwater, as well as providing habitat for some species
• But the new study shows that sulfuric in acid may have benefits, limiting global warming by counteracting the natural production of methane gases by microbes in wetland areas.

Of course you should do more studying on acid rain but these are the simple ones

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed reaction is 64 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst, the Ea is 55 kJ/mol. How ma
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

About 5 times faster.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Arrhenius equation is considered for both the catalyzed reaction (1) and the uncatalized reaction (2), one determines the relationship between them as follows:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}  \\\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{exp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}

By replacing the corresponding values we obtain:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{55000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )}{exp(-\frac{64000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )} =4.8

Such result means that the catalyzed reaction is about five times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction.

Best regards.
