Answer:

a) pH = 2.573

b) pH = 4.347

Explanation:

a) weak acid: CH3COOH

CH3COOH + H2O ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+

∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = [H3O+][CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]

∴ C CH3COOH = 0.40 M

mass balance:

⇒ 0.40 M = [CH3COO-] + [CH3COOH].........(1)

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] = [CH3COO-].........(2)

(2) in (1):

⇒ [CH3COOH] = 0.40 - [H3O+]

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = [H3O+]² / ( 0.40 - [H3O+] )

⇒ [H3O+]² = 7.2 E-6 - 1.8 E-5[H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+]² + 1.8 E-5[H3O+] - 7.2 E-6 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 2.6743 E-3 M

∴ pH = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ pH = 2.573

b) balanced reations:

CH3COONa + H2O → Na+ + CH3COO-
CH3COOH + H2O ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+

∴ C CH3COOH = 0.40 M

∴ C CH3COONa = 0.20 M

mass balanced:

⇒ C CH3COOH + C CH3COONa = [CH3COO-] + [CH3COOH]

⇒ 0.60 = [CH3COO-] + [CH3COOH]......(1)

charge balanced:

⇒ [H3O+] + [Na+] = [CH3COO-]

∴ [Na+] = 0.20 M

⇒ [H3O+] + 0.20 M = [CH3COO-]........(2)

(2) in (1):

⇒ 0.60 M = ( [H3O+] + 0.20 ) + [CH3COOH]

⇒ [CH3COOH] = 0.40 - [H3O+]

replacing in Ka:

⇒ 1.8 E-5 = ([H3O+])([H3O+] + 0.20) / (0.40 - [H3O+])

⇒ 7.2 E-6 - 1.8 E-5[H3O+] = [H3O+]² + 0.20[H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+]² + 0.20[H3O+] - 7.2 E-6 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 4.499 E-5 M

⇒ pH = 4.347

What is the mass of the missing reactant in the following reactions, given that the reaction goes to completion? Do not include

N76 [4]

1) 2.7 g water + 6,6 g carbon dioxide → 9.3 g carbonic acid.
According to principle of mass conservation mass of reactants and products are the same after chemical reactio. 2,7 g + 6,6 g = 9,3 g.
2) 32.0 g sodium hydroxide + 16.0 g hydrofluoric acid --> 14,4 g water + 33.6 g sodium fluoride.
m(water) = 32 g + 16 g - 33,6 g.
3) 0.60 g calcium carbonate + 0.48 g sodium hydroxide --> 0,63 g sodium carbonate + 0.45 g calcium.
m(sodium carbonate) = 0,6 g + 0,48 g - 0,45 g.
4) 0.53 g sodium hydroxide + 0.37 g carbon dioxide --> 0,9 g sodium hydrogen carbonate.
m(sodium hydrogen carbonate) = 0,53 g + 0,37 g = 0,9 g.

An isotope of an element whose number of protons and neutrons place it on the edge of the Island of Stability is most likely

adoni [48]

Answer:

The composition of a nuclide (atomic nucleus) is defined by the number of protons Z and the number of neutrons N, which sum to mass number A.Proton number Z, also named the atomic number, determines the position of an element in the periodic table.The approximately 3300 known nuclides are commonly represented in a chart with Z and N for its axes and the half-life for radioactive decay

Two gases have the same temperature but different pressures. The kinetic-molecular theory does not predict that a. molecules in

olganol [36]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory states that particles of a matter are continuously in motion and these molecules represent perfect elastic collision.

So, at the same temperature but different pressures the two gases will have all collisions of the molecules as elastic in nature. It is also possible that molecules in both gases have the same average kinetic energies under given conditions as their molecules might be moving with the same speed.

But we cannot determine the densities of these gases.

Thus, we can conclude that the kinetic-molecular theory does not predict that both gases have the same densities.

If 850. mL of linseed oil has a mass of 620. g, calculate the density of linseed oil.

meriva

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.73 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 620 g

volume = 850 mL

We have

$density = \frac{620}{850} \\ = 0.7294117647...$

We have the final answer as

1) Acidic - gastric juices pH 1, lemon juice pH 2.2, tomato juice pH 4.

2) Neutral - salt solution pH 7.

3) Alkaline - baking soda pH 9, bleach pH 13.

pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.

When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.
