Answer:

Kₐ = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

First lets write the equilibrium expression, Ka , for the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid:

HF + H₂O     ⇄   H₃O⁺ +   F⁻

Kₐ = [ H₃O⁺ ] [ F⁻ ] /[ [ HF ]

Since we are given the pH we can calculate the  [ H₃O⁺ ]  ( pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] , and because the acid dissociates into a 1: 1  relation , we will also have [F⁻ ]. The  [ HF ] is given in the question so we have all the information that is needed to  compute Kₐ.

pH = -log [ H₃O⁺ ]

1.68 = - log [ H₃O⁺ ]

Taking antilog to both sides of this equation:

10^-1.68 = [ H₃O⁺ ] ⇒ 2.1 X 10⁻²  M= [ H₃O⁺ ]

[ F⁻ ] = 2.1 X 10⁻² M

Solving for Kₐ :

Kₐ = ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) x  ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) / 0.65 = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴  

(Rounded to two significant figures, the powers of 10 have infinite precision )

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1
