The first step is to write the balanced equation of the dissociation of the monoprotic weak acid. This can be assumed to have 1:1 stoichiometric relationships, so the equation and ICE chart are given by:

                          HA ---> H^+ + A^-
initial                 0.25       0          0
change               -x         x           x
equilibrium    0.25-x       x           x

This gives an expression for Ka given by:

Ka = (x)^2/(0.25-x) = 5.4x10^-6
x = 1.159x10^-3 = [H+] = [A-]

pH = -log[H+] = -log[1.159x10^-3] = 2.936

When should a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves be worn in the laboratory?
Sever21 [200]
I would say that you should wear a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves when the teacher says so - not everything in a lab is dangerous, so there is no need to always wear these. But when the teacher says you should - then you should.

Calculate the mass of water produced when 7.26 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

11.3 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the combustion of butane is:

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2} O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

Thus, since there is a 1:5 mole ratio between butane and water, we obtain the following mass of water:

m_{H_2O}=7.26gC_4H_{10}*\frac{1molC_4H_{10}}{58.14gC_4H_{10}}*\frac{5molH_2O}{1molC_4H_{10}}  *\frac{18.02gH_2O}{1molH_2O}

Therefore, the resulting mass of water is:

m_{H_2O}=11.3gH_2O

Best regards!

Predict the charge on the monatomic ions formed from the following atoms in binary ionic compounds:(a) |(b) Sr(c) K(d) N(e) S(f)
Pavel [41]

Answer:

(a) I⁻ (charge 1-)

(b) Sr²⁺ (charge 2+)

(c) K⁺ (charge 1+)

(d) N³⁻ (charge 3-)

(e) S²⁻ (charge 2-)

(f) In³⁺ (charge 3+)

Explanation:

To predict the charge on a monoatomic ion we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

(a) |

I has 7 valence electrons so it gains 1 electron to form I⁻ (charge 1-).

(b) Sr

Sr has 2 valence electrons so it loses 2 electrons to form Sr²⁺ (charge 2+).

(c) K

K has 1 valence electron so it loses 1 electron to form K⁺ (charge 1+).

(d) N

N has 5 valence electrons so it gains 3 electrons to form N³⁻ (charge 3-).

(e) S

S has 6 valence electrons so it gains 2 electrons to form S²⁻ (charge 2-).

(f) In

In has 3 valence electrons so it loses 3 electrons to form In³⁺ (charge 3+).
