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 )

If 11.0 g of ccl3f is enclosed in a 1.1 −l container, will any liquid be present?if so, what mass of liquid?

If you mix 4.5 g of hcl in enough water to make 0.9 l (900 ml of solution, what is the molarity of the solution?
Elina [12.6K]
We first need to convert grams of hydrogen chloride to moles.

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution

To convert from grams to moles, we need to divide by it's molecular mass.

4.5 g HCl * (1 mole HCl/ 36.46 g HCl) = 0.123 moles HCl

0.12 moles/0.9 L = 0.13 M HCl

If they gave you the volume as 900 mL, then that would be 3 sig figs. And the sig figs would be limited to 2 because the mass.If, however, they gave you the volume as 0.9 L, then that would be 1 sig fig. And the final answer would be limited to to 1 sig fig.

A solution of 62.4 g of a covalent compound in enough water to make 1.000 L of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.305 atm at
Alborosie

Answer:

4.99 × 10³ g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Given  and required data

  • Mass of the covalent compound (m): 62.4 g
  • Volume of the solution (V): 1.000 L
  • Osmotic pressure (π): 0.305 atm
  • Temperature (T): 25°C = 298 K

Step 2: Calculate the molarity (M) of the solution

The osmotic pressure is a colligative pressure. For a covalent compound, it can be calculated using the following expression.

π = M × R × T

M = π / R × T

M = 0.305 atm / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K

M = 0.0125 M

Step 3: Calculate the moles of solute (n)

We will use the definition of molarity.

M = n / V

n = M × V

n = 0.0125 mol/L × 1.000 L = 0.0125 mol

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the compound

0.0125 moles of the compound weigh 62.4 g. The molar mass is:

62.4 g/0.0125 mol = 4.99 × 10³ g/mol

what is the trend for the size as you go from Be to Mg to Ca? does the atomic size increase, decrease, or remain the same? how w
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

the size of Ca is the greatest ,then Mg is the greater on size than Be

Explanation:

if you make the  electron configuration for each of the elements, what  is the main  difference  u gonna see ?

Be 4   1s2/2s2

Mg 12 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2

Ca 20 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2 3p6 3d/4s2

see that all the elements are in the same group but are in different period

u gonna see the last electron valance shell in Ca are too far  from its nucleus but in  Be the last electrons are too close and more attracted to the atom's nucleus , so the size of Ca is the biggest then Mg then Be
