Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and hydrogen ion concentration is as follows.

             pH = -log [H^{+}]

                  3 = -log [H^{+}]

                  antilog (-3) = 1 \times 10^{-3}

                     [H^{+}] = 1 \times 10^{-3} M

Now, let the given acid is HA and it dissociates as follows.

           HA \rightarrow H^{+} + A^{-}

                  0.1           0         0

                0.1 - x         x         x

We know that relation between K_{a}, [H^{+}] and HA is as follows.

         K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}

                    = \frac{x \times x}{(c - x)}

                     = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1 \times 10^{-3}}{(0.1 - 1 \times 10^{-3})}

                  = 1.01 \times 10^{-5}

Also,     pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

                        = -log (1.01 \times 10^{-5})

                       = 5.00

Thus, we can conclude that the pK_{a} of given acid is 5.0.

Answer is: pKa for the monoprotic acid is 5.<span>
Chemical reaction: HA(aq) </span>⇄ A⁻(aq) + H⁺<span>(aq).
c(monoprotic acid) = 0.100 M.
pH = 3.00.
[A</span>⁻] = [H⁺] = 10∧(-3).<span>
[A</span>⁻] = [H⁺] = 0.001 M; equilibrium concentration.<span>
[HA] = 0.1 M - 0.001 M.
[HA] = 0.099 M.
Ka = [A</span>⁻]·[H⁺] / [HA].<span> 
Ka = (0.001 M)² / 0.099 M.
Ka = 0.00001 M = 1.0·10</span>⁻⁵ M.
<span>pKa = -logKa = 4.99.

How many formula units make up 19.0 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?
professor190 [17]
To convert the mass of a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol and its molar mass. In this case, we are given with 19.0 grams of magnesium chloride which has a mass of 95.21 g/mol. Hence the answer is 1.20 x 10^23 formula units.

You have a solution of 600 mg of caffeine dissolved in 100 mL of water. The partition coefficient for aqueous caffeine extracted
klio [65]

Answer:

159 mg caffeine is being extracted in 60 mL dichloromethane

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of caffeine in 100 mL of water =  600 mg

Volume of the water = 100 mL

Partition co-efficient (K) = 4.6

mass of caffeine extracted = ??? (unknown)

The portion of the DCM = 60 mL

Partial co-efficient (K) = \frac{C_1}{C_2}

where; C_1= solubility of compound in the organic solvent and C_2 = solubility in aqueous water.

So; we can represent our data as:

K=(\frac{A_{(g)}}{60mL} ) ÷ (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL} )

Since one part of the portion is A and the other part is B

A+B = 60 mL

A+B = 0.60

A= 0.60 - B

4.6=(\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} ) ÷ (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL})

4.6 = \frac{(\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} )}{(\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL})}

4.6 × (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL}) = (\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} )

4.6 B *\frac{60}{100} = 0.6 - B

2.76 B = 0.6 - B

2.76 + B = 0.6

3.76 B = 0.6

B = \frac{0.6}{3.76}

B = 0.159 g

B = 159 mg

∴ 159 mg caffeine is being extracted from the 100 mL of water containing 600 mg of caffeine with one portion of in 60 mL dichloromethane.
