Answer:

The correct answer is: Ka= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The ionization of a weak monoprotic acid HA is given by the following equilibrium: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻. At the beginning (t= 0) we have 0.200 M of HA. Then, a certain amount (x) is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, as is detailed in the following table:

               HA               ⇄        H⁺        +          A⁻

t= 0      0.200 M                     0                     0

t              -x                             x                       x

t= eq      0.200M -x               x                       x

At equilibrium, we have the following ionization constant expression (Ka):

Ka= \frac{ [H^{+}]  [A^{-} ]}{ [HA]}

Ka= \frac{x x}{0.200 M -x}

Ka= \frac{x^{2} }{0.200 M - x}

From the definition of pH, we know that:

pH= - log  [H⁺]

In this case, [H⁺]= x, so:

pH= -log x

3.0= -log x

⇒x = 10⁻³

We introduce the value of x (10⁻³) in the previous expression and then we can calculate the ionization constant Ka as follows:

Ka= \frac{(10^{-3})^{2}  }{0.200 - (10^{-3}) }= \frac{10^{-6} }{0.199}= 5.025 x 10⁻⁶= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

You need a 70% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 135 mL of a 20% alcohol mixture. You also have 85% alcohol mixture. How muc
frutty [35]

To obtain the desired solution:

450 mL of 85% alcohol solution is needed to obtain the desired solution.  

Calculation:

Let x be the amount of the 85% alcohol required

The volume of the resulting 70% alcohol solution will then be = x + 135 ml

135 mL of the 20% alcohol solution contains the amount of "pure" alcohol is =  0.20×135 mL.

The 85% alcohol solution contains x mL of "pure" alcohol = 0.85× x mL.

The total amount of the "pure" alcohol is the sum

=  0.20×135 + 0.85× x mL.

It should be equal to the amount of the "pure" alcohol in the mixture, which is = 0.70× (x+135) ml.

So, your "pure alcohol" equation is,  

=  0.85× x + 0.20×135 = 0.70× (x+135)

Simplify and solve it for x:

0.85x + 0.20×135 = 0.70x + 0.70×135,

0.85x - 0.70x = 0.70×135 - 0.20×135,

0.15x = 67.5

x = 67.5/0.15

= 450mL.

Mass of 0.432 moles of C8H9O4?
Fiesta28 [93]
Find one mole
8 C = 8 * 12 = 96
9 H = 1 * 9 = 9
4 O = 4 *16 = 64
Total = 169 

1 mol = 169 grams.
0.432 mol = x

1/0.432 = 169/x
x = 0.432 * 169
x = 73.0 grams

A solution of ammonia has a pH of 11.8. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?
balu736 [363]
PH + pOH = 14

11.8 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 11.8

pOH = 2.2

[OH-] = 10 ^- pOH

[OH-] = 10 ^- 2.2

[OH-] = <span>6.33 x 10^-3 M

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The Empirical Formula.

Explanation:

From the empirical formula and using the weight (in g)  of a given substance, we can come up with the molecular formula which is the actual weight of a substance. Sometimes, we find that the empircal formula is the molecular formula.
