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

Hi! I'm struggling with my chemistry homework, I'd appreciate all the help I can get.

Answer:

2Al (s) + 6HCl (aq) →  3H₂(g) +  2AlCl₃(aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al (s) + HCl (aq) →  H₂(g) +  AlCl₃(aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

2Al (s) + 6HCl (aq) →  3H₂(g) +  2AlCl₃(aq)

There are two aluminium six hydrogen and six chlorine atoms are present on both side of equation.

So given equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction

According to the following reaction, how many grams of chloric acid (HClO3) are produced in the complete reaction of 31.6 grams
gogolik [260]

Answer:

m_{HClO_3}=12.7gHClO_3

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the reaction:

3Cl_2(g)+3H_2O(l)-->5HCl+HClO_3

The molar masses of chlorine and chloric acid are:

M_{Cl_2}=35.45*2=70.9g/mol\\M_{HClO_3}=1+35.45+16*3=84.45g/mol

Now, we develop the stoichiometric relationship to find the mass of chloric acid, considering the molar ratio 3:1 between chlorine and chloric acid, as follows:

m_{HClO_3}=31.6gCl_2*\frac{1molCl_2}{70.9gCl_2} *\frac{1molHClO_3}{3mol Cl_2} *\frac{85.45g HClO_3}{1mol HClO_3} \\m_{HClO_3}=12.7gHClO_3

Best regards.
