Why are iron needles used in compasses

Chemistry
1 answer:
ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago

A compass needle points north because the north pole of the magnet inside it is attracted to the south pole of Earth's built-in magnet . <u><em>And irons are heavily attracked to magnet</em></u> .So this is why iron needles used in compasses .

Calculate the pH and fraction of dissociation ( α ) for each of the acetic acid ( CH 3 COOH , p K a = 4.756 ) solutions. A 0.002
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is 0.08448.

The pH of the solution is 3.72.

Explanation:

The pK_a=4.756

The value of the dissociation constant = K_a

pK_a=-\log[K_a]

K_a=10^{-4.756}=1.754\times 10^{-5}

Initial concentration of the acetic acid = [HAc] =c = 0.00225

Degree of dissociation = α

HAc\rightleftharpoons H^++Ac^-

Initially

c

At equilibrium ;

(c-cα)                                cα        cα

The expression of dissociation constant is given as:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][Ac^-]}{[HAc]}

1.754\times 10^{-5}=\frac{c\times \alpha \times c\times \alpha}{(c-c\alpha)}

1.754\times 10^{-5}=\frac{c\alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha)}

1.754\times 10^{-5}=\frac{0.00225 \alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha)}

Solving for α:

α = 0.08448

The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is 0.08448.

[H^+]=c\alpha = 0.00225M\times 0.08448=0.0001901 M

The pH of the solution ;

pH=-\log[H^+]

=-\log[0.0001901 M]=3.72

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =
MAVERICK [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{c}

For a general chemical reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The expression for K_{eq} is written as:

K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)

The expression of K_c for above equation is:

K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}

We are given:

[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M

[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M

K_c=1.35

Putting values in above expression, we get:

1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}

[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

I need an example of a chemical change involving water.Pleaseeee.
slava [35]
Chemical change occur when two substances are combined and produces a new substance or decomposes into two or more substances which are entirely different from the original two substances.

There are three types of chemical changes. These are 1) Inorganic Changes, 2) Organic Changes, and 3) Biochemical Changes


Here are some examples of chemicsal changes.

If you combine Sodium and Water, chemical changes causes decomposition into Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrogen.

Sodium + Water  ==>  Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrogen

Na + H2O ====>  NaOH and H

Another example of chemical change is:

Carbon Dioxide and Water will decompose into Sugar and Oxygen

Carbon Dioxide + Water ==> Sugar and Oxygen

CO2 + H2O ==> CnH2nOn (where n is between 3 and 7) and O
