The first dissociation for H2X:
H2X +H2O ↔ HX + H3O
initial 0.15 0 0
change -X +X +X
at equlibrium 0.15-X X X
because Ka1 is small we can assume neglect x in H2X concentration
Ka1 = [HX][H3O]/[H2X]
4.5x10^-6 =( X )(X) / (0.15)
X = √(4.5x10^-6*0.15)
∴X = 8.2 x 10-4 m
∴[HX] & [H3O] = 8.2x10^-4
the second dissociation of H2X
HX + H2O↔ X^2 + H3O
8.2x10^-4 Y 8.2x10^-4
Ka2 for Hx = 1.2x10^-11
Ka2 = [X2][H3O]/[HX]
1.2x10^-11= y (8.2x10^-4)*(8.2x10^-4)
∴y = 1.78x10^-5
∴[X^2] = 1.78x10^-5 m
IT forms because they are highly reactive elements.
Ionic compound is formed by negative and positive ions, these ions form ionic bond
It takes into account the different molecular masses of the different chemicals by providing a fixed and standardised number of molecules/ atoms for chemicals to be measured
