If the Ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 5.4 × 10-6, what is the pH of a 0.25 M solution of this acid?

1 answer:

6 0

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

Find the formula for the hydrate<br>0.737 g MgSO3 and 0.763 g H2O

babunello [35]

The required formula of hydrate is MgSO₃.6H₂O.

<h3>How do we calculate the formula of hydrate?</h3>

The number of moles of water per mole of anhydrous solid (x) will be computed by dividing the number of moles of water by the number of moles of anhydrous solid (x) to find the hydrate's formula.

Moles will be calculated as:
n = W/M, where

W = given mass
M = molar mass

Moles of MgSO₃ = 0.737g / 104.3g/mol = 0.007mol

Moles of H₂O = 0.763g / 18g/mol = 0.04 mol

Number of H₂O molecule = 0.04/0.007 = 5.7 = 6

So formula of hydrate is MgSO₃.6H₂O.

Hence required formula of hydrate compound is MgSO₃.6H₂O.

The shadow zone exists because ?

lana66690 [7]

At almost the opposite point on the Earth's surface, the "P" waves reappear. The shadow zone exists because the waves are refracted as they pass through the boundary between the mantle and the core and are diverted from their original paths.

5. Durante un estudio de la velocidad de la reacción A2(g) + 3B2(g)  2 AB3(g), se observa que en un recipiente cerrado que cont

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) Speed of the reaction = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃ = 0.004167 mol/L.s

Explanation:

English Translation

During a study of the reaction rate

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g),

it is observed that in a closed container containing a certain amount of A₂ and 0.75 mol / L of B₂, the concentration B₂ decreases to 0.5 mol / L in 40 seconds.

a) What is the speed of the reaction?

b) What is the rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time?

c) What is the rate of appearance of AB₃?

Solution

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the time rate at which a reactant is used up or the rate at which a product is formed.

It is the rate of change of the concentration of a reactant (rate of decrease of the concentration of the reactant) or a product (rate of increase in the concentration of the product) with time.

Mathematically, for a balanced reaction

aA → bB

Rate = -(1/a)(ΔA/Δt) = (1/b)(ΔB/Δt)

The minus sign attached to the change of the reactant's concentration indicates that the reactant's concentration decreases.

And the coefficients of each reactant and product in the balanced reaction normalize the rate of reaction for each of them

So, for our given reaction,

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g)

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

a) Speed of the reaction = Rate of the reaction

But we are given information on the change of concentration of B₂

Change in concentration of B₂ = ΔB₂ = 0.50 - 0.75 = -0.25 mol/L

Change in time = Δt = 40 - 0 = 40 s

(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-0.25/40) = -0.00625 mol/L.s

Rate of the reaction = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time

Recall

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

-(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

Rate of disappearance of A₂ = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃

Recall

Rate = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

(1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

rate of appearance of AB₃ = (ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-2/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.004167 mol/L.s

Hope this Helps!!!
