Answer:

Three

Explanation:

Each C atom supplies four valence electrons and each O atom supplies six, for a total of 14 valence electrons.

If there are two double bonds (eight bonding electrons), there must be six nonbonding electrons (i.e., three lone pairs).

The Lewis structure of C₂O is :C=C=Ö:

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution when ex
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a. 1.78x10⁻³ = Ka

2.75 = pKa

b. It is irrelevant.

Explanation:

a. The neutralization of a weak acid, HA, with a base can help to find Ka of the acid.

Equilibrium is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

And Ka is defined as:

Ka = [H⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]

The HA reacts with the base, XOH, thus:

HA + XOH → H₂O + A⁻ + X⁺

As you require 26.0mL of the base to consume all HA, if you add 13mL, the moles of HA will be the half of the initial moles and, the other half, will be A⁻

That means:

[HA] = [A⁻]

It is possible to obtain pKa from H-H equation (Equation used to find pH of a buffer), thus:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Replacing:

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

As [HA] = [A⁻]

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ 1

<h3>2.75 = pKa</h3>

Knowing pKa = -log Ka

2.75 = -log Ka

10^-2.75 = Ka

<h3>1.78x10⁻³ = Ka</h3>

b. As you can see, the initial concentration of the acid was not necessary. The only thing you must know is that in the half of the titration, [HA] = [A⁻]. Thus, the initial concentration of the acid doesn't affect the initial calculation.

1. A gas having the following composition is burnt under a boiler with 50% excess air.
jeka94

The composition of the stack gas are :

CH_4= 0.8713

C_3H_8 = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

<h3 /><h3>What is a mole fraction?</h3>

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components.

Assuming 100 g of the stack gas. Calculate the mass of each species in this sample according to their percentages.

Mass of CH_4 : 70% of 100 g = 70 g

Mass of C_3H_8 : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Mass of CO : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Now calculate the number of moles of each species:

Number of moles of CH_4 : \frac{70 g}{16.04 g/mol} = 4.3 mole

Number of moles of C_3H_8: \frac{15 g}{144.1 g/mol} = 0.10 mole

Mass of CO : \frac{15 g}{28.01 g/mol} = 0.53 mole

Now to calculate the mole fraction of each we use the formula:

Mole fraction of CH_4: \frac{4.3}{4.935} = 0.8713

Mole fraction of C_3H_8 : \frac{0.10}{4.935} = 0.0202

Mole fraction of CO : \frac{0.53}{4.935} = 0.107

Hence, composition of the stack gas are:

CH_4 = 0.8713

C_3H_8 = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

Calculate the density of nitrogen gas, in grams per liter, at stp.
lesantik [10]

Standard temperature is 273 K

Standard pressure is 1 atm

We use the ideal gas equation to find out density of nitrogen gas in g/L

Ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT\\  PV = (\frac{Mass}{Molar mass)}RT\\   P(Molar mass) = (\frac{Mass}{Volume})RT\\  \frac{Mass}{Volume}=\frac{P(molar mass)}{RT} \\  Density = \frac{P(Molar mass)}{RT}

Molar mass of N_{2} = 28 g/mol

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273 K

Density = \frac{(1atm)(28 g/mol)}{(0.08206 \frac{L.atm}{mol.K})(273 K)}

= 1.25 g/L

Therefore, density of nitrogen gas at STP is 1.25 g/L
