Explain in terms of types of matter why methane can be broken down by chemical means but argon cannot?

1 answer:

7 0

Argon is a pure element which means that it cannot be broken down further than it already is. Methane, however, is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made out of both hydrogen and carbon and thus can be broken down to separate those elements.

The acid dissociation constant Ka of boric acid (H3BO3) is 5.8 times 10^-10. Calculate the pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid.

madam [21]

Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

$H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-$

at t=0 cM 0 0

at eqm $c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 4.4 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}$

Putting in the values we get:

$5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.000011$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3$

Thus pH of a 4.4 M $H_3BO_3$ solution is 4.3

How many milliliters of 0. 0140 m na2s2o3 solution are needed to dissolve 0. 590 g of agbr? agbr(s) 2na2s2o3(aq)→na3ag(s2o3)2(aq

Marina86 [1]

The molarity of the solution can be used to give the moles and the volume of the solution. The 0.0140 M sodium thiosulfate needs 225 ml of volume.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is the property of the solution that is given by the ratio of the moles of the solute to the volume of the solution in liters.

Given,

Molarity of Sodium thiosulfate = 0.0140 M

Mass of solute (AgBr) = 0.590 gm

Molar mass of AgBr = 187.77 g/mol

First moles from the mass can be calculated as,

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

n = 0.590 g ÷ 187.77 g/mol

= 0.00314 moles

Now, the volume of the solution from molarity is calculated as,

Volume = moles ÷ molarity

= 0.00314 moles ÷ 0.0140

= 0.225 L

Therefore, 225 mL is the volume required.
