Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-

at t=0  cM              0             0

at eqm c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 4.4 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}

Putting in the values we get:

5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.000011

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3

Thus pH of a 4.4 M H_3BO_3 solution is 4.3

Pressure in the submarine when the temperature is changed to 293 K is 108.9 K Pa

Explanation:

Pressure in the submarine = 108.9 kPa

Volume, V = 2.4 * 10^5 L

Pressure, P = 116k Pa

Temperature, T = 312 K

Ideal gas law: PV = nRT  or  n = PV / RT

So, moles of gas, n =116 KPa * 2.4 * 10 ^5L / 8.314 LK Pa K^-1 *312 K

= 1.073 *10^4 mol

when temperature is changed to 293K,

PV = nRT  or P = nRT / V

=1.073 *10^4 mol *8.314 LK Pa mol^-1 K^-1 *293 K / 2.4*10^5L

=108.9 K Pa

Pressure in the submarine when the temperature is changed to 293 K is 108.9 K Pa

The number of ions in 17.1 gm of aluminum sulphate Al2 (SO4)3 =….. [Molar mass of Al2 (SO4)3 = 342 gm]
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

1.51 X 10^23 ions

Explanation:

The number of ions in 17.1 gm of aluminum sulphate Al2 (SO4)3 =….. [Molar mass of Al2 (SO4)3 = 342 gm]

in one molecule of Al2(SO4)3 there are 5 ions 2 aluminum and 3 sulfate ions

in 2 molecules there are 2X5= 10 ions

in 10 molecules there are 10X5 = 50 ions

molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = (2 X 26.98) +( 3 X 32.1) + (3 X 4 X 16.0 ) =342.gms = 17.1/342 =0.0500 moles

1  mole =6.02 X 10^23 molecules ( see Avogadros number)

0.0500 moles = 0.0500 X 6.02 X 10^23 molecules =

0.301 X 10^23 molecules = 3.01 X 10^22 molecules

We determined that each molecule of Al2(SO4)3 has 5 ions

so 3.01 X10^22 molecules have 5 X 3.01 X 10^22 ions =

15.05 X 10^22 ions = 1.51 X 10^23 ions
