Answer: 4.21×10⁻⁸

Explanation:


1) Assume a general equation for the ionization of the weak acid:

Let HA be the weak acid, then the ionization equation is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

2) Then, the expression for the ionization constant is:

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]

There, [H⁺] = [A⁻], and [HA] = 0.150 M (data given)


3) So, you need to determine [H⁺] which you do from the pH.

By definition, pH = - log [H⁺]

And from the data given pH = 4.1


⇒ 4.10 = - log [H⁺] ⇒ [H⁺] = antilog (- 4.10) = 7.94×10⁻⁵

4) Now you have all the values to calculate the expression for Ka:

ka = 7.94×10⁻⁵ × 7.94×10⁻⁵ / 0.150 = 4.21×10⁻⁸

Calculate e°cell for a silver-aluminum cell in which the cell reaction is al(s) + 3ag+(aq) → al3+(aq) + 3ag(s) –2.46 v 0.86 v –0
tekilochka [14]
When E° cell is an electrochemical cell which comprises of two half cells.
 
So,

when we have the balanced equation of this half cell :

Al3+(aq) + 3e- → Al(s)   and E°1 = -1.66 V 

and we have  also this balanced equation of this half cell :

Ag+(aq)  + e- → Ag(s)  and E°2 = 0.8 V 

so, we can get E° in Al(s) + 3Ag (aq) → Al3+(aq) + 3Ag(s)

when E° = E°2 - E°1

∴E° =0.8 - (-1.66)

      = 2.46 V

∴ the correct answer is 2.46 V
