Determine the equilibrium constant for the acid-base reaction between ethanol and hydrobromic acid? Acid pKa Hydrobromic Acid −5

.8 Ethyloxonium Ion −2.4

Chemistry

Answer:

10^{-3.4

Explanation:

Let us first take a look at the image below;

In the acid - base  reaction; we can see the transfer of electrons that takes place;

We can also see that the reaction goes in the direction which converts the stronger acid and the stronger base to the weaker acid and the weaker base.

The stronger acid is shown with the one with more negative P_{Ka} Value.

∴ The equilibrium constant for the acid-base reaction is expressed as:

K_{eq}= \frac{K_a of reactant acid}{K_a of product acid}

      = \frac{10^{-pK} of reactant acid}{10^{-pk} of product acid}

From  P_{Ka} Value (shown in the image below), it is clear and vivid that hydrobromic acid is a stronger acid than the ethyloxonium ion, therefore the equilibrium lies to the right.

From the chemical equation (shown in the attached image); the equilibrium constant for the acid-base reaction can be expressed as:

K_{eq}=\frac{10^{-pK} of hydrobromic acid}{10^{-pk} of Ethyloxonium acid}

K_{eq}=\frac{10^{-5.8} of hydrobromic acid}{10^{-2.4} of Ethyloxonium acid}

       = 10^{-3.4}

The fundamental force underlying all chemical reactions is
arsen [322]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Force

Explanation:

Every aspect of chemical reaction is the output of electromagnetic force though the forces can take on many forms because of the quantum wave nature of particles.

The electromagnetic force has the ability to attract opposite charges such as protons and electrons and it repels same charges such as electrons and protons.

This force is an important force in the chemical reaction as it it is responsible for bonding between atoms. Though other forces are unique in their own way but they don't affect chemical reaction. Force of gravity is not strong enough to affect chemical reactions; when nuclear forces are involved in a reaction, such reaction is a nuclear reactor; not chemical reaction.

One of the roles of the electromagnetic force in chemical reaction is that it holds the electrons that are in the outer orbit around the nucleus; this, in the long run creates bonds with other chemical elements to create a visible matter.

How many moles of SnF₂ will be produced along with 48 grams of H₂? *
KIM [24]

Answer: 24 moles of SnF_2 are produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

{\text{Moles of}  H_2}=\frac{48g}{2g/mol}=24moles

Sn+2HF\rightarrow SnF_2+H_2

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of H_2 is accompanied with = 1 mole of SnF_2

Thus 24 moles of H_2  is accompanied with =\frac{1}{1}\times 24=24moles  of SnF_2

Thus 24 moles of SnF_2 are produced.
