1) Molecular formula for aluminium phospide is AlP. Aluminium has oxidation number +3 (metal from 13. group of periodic table) and phosphorus in phospides has oxidation number -3.

Aluminium phosphide is a highly toxic, solid inorganic compound.

2) Molecular formula for aluminium phospide is Mg₃P₂. Magnesium has oxidation number +2 (metal from 2. group of periodic table) and phosphorus in phospides has oxidation number -3.

Calculate the pH for the following weak acid. A solution of HCOOH has 0.12M HCOOH at equilibrium. The Ka for HCOOH is 1.8×10−4.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the pH of HCOOH solution is 2.33

Explanation:

The ionization equation for the given acid is written as:

HCOOH\leftrightarrow H^++HCOO^-

Let's say the initial concentration of the acid is c and the change in concentration x.

Then, equilibrium concentration of acid = (c-x)

and the equilibrium concentration for each of the product would be x

Equilibrium expression for the above equation would be:

\Ka= \frac{[H^+][HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}

1.8*10^-^4=\frac{x^2}{c-x}

From given info, equilibrium concentration of the acid is 0.12

So, (c-x) = 0.12

hence,

1.8*10^-^4=\frac{x^2}{0.12}

Let's solve this for x. Multiply both sides by 0.12

2.16*10^-^5=x^2

taking square root to both sides:

x=0.00465

Now, we have got the concentration of [H^+] .

[H^+] = 0.00465 M

We know that, pH=-log[H^+]

pH = -log(0.00465)

pH = 2.33

Hence, the pH of HCOOH solution is 2.33.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.230 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant o
djyliett [7]
Ok first, we have to create a balanced equation for the dissolution of nitrous acid.

HNO2 <-> H(+) + NO2(-)

Next, create an ICE table

           HNO2   <-->  H+        NO2-
[]i        0.230M          0M       0M
Δ[]      -x                   +x         +x
[]f        0.230-x          x           x

Then, using the concentration equation, you get

4.5x10^-4 = [H+][NO2-]/[HNO2]

4.5x10^-4 = x*x / .230 - x

However, because the Ka value for nitrous acid is lower than 10^-3, we can assume the amount it dissociates is negligable, 

assume 0.230-x ≈ 0.230

4.5x10^-4 = x^2/0.230

Then, we solve for x by first multiplying both sides by 0.230 and then taking the square root of both sides.

We get the final concentrations of [H+] and [NO2-] to be x, which equals 0.01M.

Then to find percent dissociation, you do final concentration/initial concentration.

0.01M/0.230M = .0434 or 

≈4.34% dissociation.
