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.

Doing an experiment about electroplating, you attempt to coat silver in gold using a basic electroplating set-up. You take the m
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

it’s mass was greater than when it started

Explanation:

When a metal is coated with another metal, the plating metal deposits on the plated metal. Usually, the plating metal functions as the anode while the plated metal functions on the cathode. The anode metal is oxidized and reduced at the cathode and become deposited on the cathode material. This increases the mass of the cathode. Hence the mass of the silver/gold product is greater than the mass of silver at the beginning of the electroplating process.

Assuming that the density of vinegar is 1.005 g/mL, calculate the molarity of acetic acid in vinegar from your average value for
Lapatulllka [165]
We can divide this problem into 4 steps:
Step 1: Calculate mass of one liter solution from the density
Mass of solution = 1000 ml soln x \frac{1.005g soln}{1 mL} =1005 g soln
Step 2: Calculate the mass of acetic acid
Mass of CH₃COOH = 1005 g soln x (5.2 g / 100 g soln) = 52.26 g acetic acid
Step 3: Calculate the moles of acetic acid:
52.26 g acetic x (1 mole acetic / 60 g acetic) = 0.871 mol
step 4: Calculate the molarity of acetic acid:
molarity = moles of acetic / liters of soln = 0.871 / 1 L = 0.871 mole / L

With what compound will NH3 experience only ion-dipole intermolecular forces? a) OCl2 b) NaOH c) SiO2 d) CH3I e) C4H9OH
Norma-Jean [14]

Here we have to choose the molecule which can generate ion-dipole interaction with ammonia.

The NH₃ will have ion dipole interaction only with b) NaOH.

a) The OCl₂ molecule is highly unstable and remains in a linear state as shown in the figure.

b) The NaOH is purely an ionic compound. There is one lone pair of electron on the nitrogen (N) atom of ammonia and also the N-H bond has dipole moment. Now among the given molecules only NaOH is ionic in nature which remains as Na⁺ and OH⁻. Thus we can expect an ion-dipole interaction between these molecules, it is shown in the figure.

c) SiO₂ is purely an covalent compound the structure is shown in the figure.

d) Methyl iodide (CH₃I) is also a covalent compound.

e) The butanol (C₄H₉OH) is a covalent compound.

So we may expect only ion-dipole interaction with b) NaOH.

) The atomic number of magnesium is 12.
Alisiya [41]

Answer: The difference between these 3 isotopes is the number of neutrons.

The atomic mass of an atom is the number of protons plus neutrons. We know that the atomic number of magnesium is 12, so therefore there are 12 protons.

In Magnesium-24, there are 24-12 neutrons = 12 neutrons.

In Magneusium-25, there are 25-12 neutrons = 13 neutrons

In Magnesium-26, there are 26-12 neutrons = 14 neutrons
