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

. How many grams of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide? ____Cl
dlinn [17]

Answer: 190 g of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is;

Cl_2+MgBr_2\rightarrow MgCl_2+Br_2

Cl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and MgBr_2 is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Cl_2 produces = 1 mole of MgCl_2

Thus 2 moles of Cl_2 will produce=\frac{1}{1}\times 2=2moles  of MgCl_2

 Mass of MgCl_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2moles\times 95g/mol=190g

Thus 190 g of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide

They will have no air and no energy or food. No food for animals, so animals die, and humans die with the lack of food, meat and plants
