We can set up an ICE table for the reaction:                      
                      HClO          H+     ClO-
Initial              0.0375       0        0
Change         -x               +x      +x
Equilibrium    0.0375-x     x        x

We calculate [H+] from Ka:     
     Ka = 3.0x10^-8 = [H+][ClO-]/[HClO] = (x)(x)/(0.0375-x)

Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0375 simplifies the equation to         
     3.0x10^-8 = (x)(x)/0.0375     
     3.0x10^-8 = x2/0.0375     
     x2 = (3.0x10^-8)(0.0375) = 1.125x10^-9     
     x = sqrt(1.125x10^-9) = 0.0000335 = 3.35x10^-5 = [H+]
in which 0.0000335 is indeed negligible compared to 0.0375.

We can now calculate pH:     
     pH = -log [H+] = - log (3.35 x 10^-5) = 4.47

Answer:

F = 30 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of toy train = 1.5 kg

Acceleration of train = 20 m/s²

Amount of force acting on it = ?

Solution:

The net force on object is equal to the its mass multiply by its acceleration.

Formula:

F = ma

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

F = 1.5 kg × 20ms⁻²

F = 30 kg.ms⁻²

kg.ms⁻² = N

F = 30 N

Which statement best describes visible light?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The Visible Spectrum Visible light is the light that we can see, and thus is the only light detectable by the human eye. White light is visible light, and it contains all the colors of the rainbow, from red to violet. The range of visible wavelengths is 400 to 700 nanometers.

What gets reduced in an electrolytic cell made with nickel and copper electrodes?
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Ni²⁺  

Explanation:

We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.

The correct answer must be either B or D.

An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.  

One strategy to solve this problem is:

  1. Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
  2. Figure out the spontaneous direction.
  3. Write the equation in the reverse direction.

1. Standard reduction potentials

                                E°/V

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni;  -0.257

2. Galvanic Cell

We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.

                                       <u>E°/V </u>

Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻;           0.257

<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu;      </u>   0.3419

Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599

This is the spontaneous direction.

Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.

3. Electrochemical cell

                                        <u>E°/V</u>

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni;           -0.257

<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻;        </u> <u>-0.3419</u>

Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599

This is the non-spontaneous direction.

Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.
