The acid dissociation constant is defined as Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA] where [H+], [A-] and [HA] are the concentrations of protons, conjugate base, and acid in solution respectively. Assuming this is a weak acid as the pH is quite high for a 1.35 M solution, we can assume that the change in [HA] is negligible and therefore [HA] = 1.35 M.
To calculate [H+] we can use the relationship pH = -log[H+], rearranging to give: [H+] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-2.93) = 1.17 x 10^(-3).
Since the acid is relatively concentrated we can assume therefore that       [H+] = [A-] as for each proton dissociated, a conjugate base is formed.
Therefore, we can calculate Ka as:
Ka = [H+]^2/[HA] = (1.17 x 10^-3 M)^2/1.35 = 1.01 x 10^-6 M

Determine the molarity of a solution formed by dissolving 97.7 g libr in enough water to yield 750.0 ml of solution.
rewona [7]

Answer:

1.5 M.

Explanation:

  • Molarity (M) is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved in a 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (no. of moles of LiBr)/(Volume of the solution (L).</em>

<em></em>

∵ no. of moles of LiBr = (mass/molar mass) of LiBr = (97.7 g)/(86.845 g/mol) = 1.125 mol.

Volume of the solution = 750.0 mL = 0.75 L.

∴ M = (no. of moles of luminol)/(Volume of the solution (L) = (1.125 mol)/(0.75 L) = 1.5 M.

Select the correct value for the indicated bond angle in each of the following compounds: O-S-O angle of SO2 F-B-F angle of BF3
Stels [109]

Answer:

(A) O-S-O bond angle of SO₂ molecule = 119°

(B) F-B-F bond angle of BF₃ molecule = 120°

(C) Cl-S-Cl bond angle of SCl₂ molecule = 103°

(D) O-C-O bond angle of CO₂ molecule = 180°

(E) F-P-F bond angle of PF₃ molecule = 96.3°

(F) H-C-H bond angle of CH₄ molecule = 109.5°

Explanation:

Bond angle refers to the angle between two adjacent chemical bonds in a molecule. The bond angle is different for different molecular geometry.

The Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory predicts the molecular geometry and shape of the given molecule by the number of lone pairs on central atom and number of atoms bonded to central atom.

(A) SO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 1

<u>Therefore, the shape of SO₂ molecule is bent and the O-S-O bond angle is 119°.</u>

(B) BF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to B = 3

Number of lone pairs on B = 0

<u>Therefore, the shape of BF₃ molecule is trigonal planar and the F-B-F bond angle is 120°.</u>

(C) SCl₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 2

<u>Therefore, the shape of SCl₂ molecule is bent and the Cl-S-Cl bond angle is 103°.</u>

(D) CO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 2

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

<u>Therefore, the shape of CO₂ molecule is linear and the O-C-O bond angle is 180°.</u>

(E) PF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to P = 3

Number of lone pairs on P = 1

<u>Therefore, the shape of PF₃ molecule is trigonal pyramidal and the F-P-F bond angle is 96.3°.</u>

(F) CH₄ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 4

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

<u>Therefore, the shape of CH₄ molecule is tetrahedral and the H-C-H bond angle is 109.5°.</u>

Does anyone know the answer to this chemistry question?!? How much HCl is made when 2g of hydrogen reacts? H2+Cl2-&gt;2HCl
jonny [76]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

72.19 g HCl

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas as;

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g)

Mass of hydrogen gas that reacts is 2 g

We are required to determine the amount of HCl produced

<h3>Step 1: Determine the number of moles of H₂ used </h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of Hydrogen gas = 2.02 g/mol

Thus;

Moles = 2 g ÷ 2.02 g/mol

          = 0.99 moles

<h3>Step 2: Moles of HCl produced </h3>

From the reaction equation, 1 mole of hydrogen gas reacts to produce 2 moles of HCl

Therefore, the mole ratio of H₂ : HCl = 1 : 2

Thus, moles of HCl = 0.99 moles × 2

                                = 1.98 moles

<h3>Step 3: Mass of HCl produced </h3>

To calculate mass we multiply the number of moles by molar mass

Molar mass of HCl =36.46 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol × 1.98 moles

                    = 72.19 g

Thus, the amount of HCl produced during the reaction is 72.19 g
