You are given 10.00 mL of a solution of an unknown acid. The pH of this solution is exactly 2.18. You determine that the concent

ration of the unknown acid was 0.2230 M. You also determined that the acid was monoprotic (HA). What is the pKa of your unknown acid

Answer:

pKa=3.70

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the information, we can compute the concentration of hydronium given the pH:

pH=-log([H^+])\\

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-2.18}=6.61x10^{-3}M

Next, given the concentration of the acid and due to the fact it is monoprotic, its dissociation should be:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-

We can write the law of mass action for equilibrium:

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

Thus, due to the stoichiometry, the concentration of hydronium and A⁻ are the same at equilibrium and the concentration of acid is:

[HA]=0.2230M-6.61x10^{-3}M=0.2164M

As the concentration of hydronium also equals the reaction extent (x). Thereby, the acid dissociation constant turns out:

Ka=\frac{(6.61x10^{-3})^2}{0.2164}\\ \\Ka=2.02x10^{-4}

And the pKa:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(2.02x10^{-4})\\\\pKa=3.70

Regards.

Explain why crushed garlic has more flavor when put in food than a whole clove of garlic.
Zigmanuir [339]

A crushed garlic will have a lot of flavor when placed in food due to the surface area that is in contact with the food. When we have a large piece of garlic, only the external part touches the food and its full capacity is not used. When we reduce the size of the year by crushing the internal parts that were not in contact with the food, now they will be, in addition, liquids are also released due to the pressure exerted on the garlic and these liquids mix more easily with the food and they give it more flavor. For better understanding we can see the following figure:

Simply to understand it, in the figure, there is a clove of whole garlic represented by the rectangle that will have a height of 3 and a width of 1, the units do not matter in this case. The area that is in contact will be equal to 8, but if we divide the garlic into three equal parts, it will have a contact area greater than 12. Therefore, the more we divide the garlic, the more area it will be in contact with the food and will give it more flavor.

Which statement describes the energy involved in diffusion? Diffusion requires energy in all cases. Diffusion requires energy on
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Both b and d can be correct

Explanation:

Generally, diffusion does not require energy (<em>making option a wrong</em>) because it is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration hence diffusion moves particles in the direction of a concentration gradient. An example of this is the passive transport (for instance, uptake of glucose by a liver cell).

However, in some cases, when diffusion is against the concentration gradient (i.e when particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration), diffusion will require energy in a case like this (<em>making option c wrong</em>). An example of this is active transport (transport of protein called sodium-potassium pump which involves pumping of potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell).

The explanation above shows that diffusion can require energy to move particles (in or out) of the cell through the cell membrane.

A student prepared a stock solution by dissolving 10.0 g of KOH in enough water to make 150. mL of solution. She then took 15.0
yanalaym [24]

Answer: The concentration of KOH for the final solution is 0.275 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

 V_s = volume of solution in ml = 150 ml

moles of solute =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{10.0g}{56g/mol}=0.178moles

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molality=\frac{0.178\times 1000}{150}=1.19M

According to the dilution law,

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where,

C_1 = molarity of stock solution = 1.19 M

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 15.0 ml

C_2 = molarity of diluted solution = ?

V_2 = volume of diluted solution = 65.0 ml

Putting in the values we get:

1.19\times 15.0=M_2\times 65.0

M_1=0.275M

Therefore, the concentration of KOH for the final solution is 0.275 M
