The leaves of the rhubarb plant contain high concentrations of diprotic oxalic acid (hooccooh) and must be removed before the st

First we have to find Ka1 and Ka2
pKa1 = - log Ka1 so Ka1 = 0.059
pKa2 = - log Ka2  so Ka2 = 6.46 x 10⁻⁵
Looking at the values of equilibrium constants we can see that the first one is really big compared to second one. so, the pH will be affected mainly by the first ionization of the acid.
Oxalic acid is H₂C₂O₄
H₂C₂O₄      ⇄     H⁺   + HC₂O₄⁻
0.0356 M            0          0
0.0356 - x            x          x
Ka1 = \frac{[H^+][HC2O4^-]}{[H2C2O4]} = x² / 0.0356 - x
x = 0.025 M
pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (0.025) = 1.6

To use the gas law constant R=0.0821 the unit for temp should be kelvin and the unit for pressure should be atmospheres True or
hoa [83]

It is crucial to match your units of Pressure, Volume, number of mole, and Temperature with the units of R. If you use the first value of R, which is 0.082057 L atm mol-1K-1, your unit for pressure must be atm, for volume must be liter, for temperature must be Kelvin.

1 mole of nacl(s) has a greater entropy than 1 mole of nacl(aq). true or false g
Svetradugi [14.3K]
It  is  false   that  1  mole  of  nacl(s)  has  a  greater  entropy  than   1  mole  of  nacl (aq).  

  this  is  because    nacl(aq)   is  in  aqueous  state  while  nacl(s)  is  in  solid  state.  Nacl(aq)  has  greater  entropy  than  nacl(s)  because    in 
aqueous   state  their   is  increase  in  entropy. the  entropy   of  the  two  ions  in  water  has   greater  entropy  than  the  solid   nacl.

Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with a single sodium ion? CO32− PO43− SO42− NO31−
Artist 52 [7]

A single sodium ion will combine due to its charge on it

Na^+

The single sodium ion has total one positive charge on it. so it requires only one electron or can bond to one negative charge

in the given polyatomic anions

a) CO3^-2 : it has two negative charge. So it will react with two sodium ions

it will forms Na2CO3

b) PO4^-3 :it has three negative charge. So it will react with three sodium ions

it will forms Na3PO4

c) SO4^-2 : it has two negative charge. So it will react with two sodium ions

it will forms Na2SO4

d) NO3^-1: it has one negative charge. So it will react with one sodium ion

it will forms NaNO3

Hence the correct answer is

Nitrate ion will react with single sodium ion as

Na+   + NO3-  ---> NaNO3
