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

Which of the following can be mixed in solution with H₂CO3 to make a buffer?OA. Na₂CO3OB. HFOC. NH3OD. NaHCO3
masha68 [24]

A buffer system usually will need a weak acid, like H2CO3, which is carbonic acid, and a strong base, and the only compound that could figure a fairly strong base among the options given is Na2CO3. NH3 and NaHCO3 are weak bases and HF is a strong acid. Therefore the best answer will be letter A

mr_godi [17]

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3

Explanation :  Given,

Concentration of H_2 at equilibrium = 0.067 mol

Concentration of CO at equilibrium = 0.021 mol

Concentration of CH_3OH at equilibrium = 0.040 mol

The given chemical reaction is:

CO+2H_2\rightarrow CH_3OH

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.040)}{(0.021)\times (0.067)^2}

K_c=424.3

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

             70.15 cm³

Solution:

Data Given;

                  Mass  =  55 g

                  Density  =  0.784 g.cm⁻³

Required:

                  Volume  =  ?

Formula Used:

                  Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

                  Volume  =  Mass ÷ Density

Putting values,

                  Volume  =  55 g ÷ 0.784 g.cm⁻³

                  Volume = 70.15 cm³
