How do i convert pka to ka? i am doing a lab and have calculated my pka values to be 4.57 4.56 4.56 and i need to find the ka...

i think all i have to do is 10^- whatever the number... is that correct? thanks?

What is the equilibrium associated with ka3 for h3po4?

Vlad [161]

Phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values (pKa1=2.1, pKa2=6.9, pKa3= 12.4) and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values:

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq) pKₐ₁
<span>

</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq) pKₐ₂

HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq) pKₐ₃

The last equilibrium is associated with the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid. There the last OH group will lose its hydrogen and hydrogen phosphate ion (HPO₄²⁻) turns into phosphate ion (PO₄³⁻).

For the reaction 2Co3+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)→2Co2+(aq)+Cl2(g). E∘=0.483 V what is the cell potential at 25 ∘C if the concentrations are [

sveta [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$E^{o}$ = 0.483, $[Co^{3+}]$ = 0.173 M,

$[Co^{2+}]$ = 0.433 M, $[Cl^{-}]$ = 0.306 M,

$P_{Cl_{2}}$ = 9.0 atm

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

or, P = $\frac{n}{V}RT$

Also, we know that

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

So, P = MRT

and, M = $\frac{P}{RT}$

= $\frac{9.0 atm}{0.0820 L atm/mol K \times 298 K}$

= $\frac{9.0}{24.436}$

= 0.368 mol/L

Now, we will calculate the cell potential as follows.

E = $E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} log \frac{[Co^{2+}]^{2}[Cl_{2}]}{[Co^{3+}][Cl^{-}]^{2}}$

= $0.483 - \frac{0.0591}{2} log \frac{(0.433)^{2}(0.368)}{(0.173)(0.306)^{2}}$

= $0.483 - 0.02955 log \frac{0.0689}{0.0162}$

= $0.483 - 0.02955 \times 0.628$

= 0.483 - 0.0185

= 0.4645 V

Thus, we can conclude that the cell potential of given cell at $25^{o}C$ is 0.4645 V.

What is the octet rule

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The octet rule is that atoms must have 8 valence electrons to have an octet. Usually, when atoms have an octet, they tend not to bond with any other atoms because they are already stable and do not need to bond anymore.
