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

A container is filled with a mixture of gases:
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The partial pressure of chlorine gas in the mixture is 1.55 atm.

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oxygen gas = p_1=1.0 atm

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas = p_2=0.75 atm

Partial pressure of chlorine gas = p_3=?

Total pressure of the mixture of gases = P = 3.30 atm

Using Dalton's law of partial pressure:

P=p_1+p_2+p_3

3.30 atm=1.0 atm+ 0.75 atm+p_3

p_3=3.30atm - (1.0 atm+ 0.75 atm)=1.55 atm

The partial pressure of chlorine gas in the mixture is 1.55 atm.
