We want to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 0.58 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Reaction equation is as follows.

$Na_{2}SO_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, 1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{3}$ produces 2 moles of cations.

$[Na^{+}] = 2[Na_{2}SO_{3}] = 2 \times 0.58$

= 1.16 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}] = [Na_{2}SO_{3}]$ = 0.58 M

The sulphite anion will act as a base and react with $H_{2}O$ to form $HSO^{-}_{3}$ and $OH^{-}$ .

As, $K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{2}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{6.3 \times 10^{-8}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-7}$

According to the ICE table for the given reaction,

$SO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons HSO^{-}_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.58 0 0

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.58 - x x x

So,

$K_{b} = \frac{[HSO^{-}_{3}][OH^{-}]}{[SO^{2-}_{3}]}$

$1.59 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.58 - x}$

$x^{2} = 1.59 \times 10^{-7} \times (0.58 - x)$

x = 0.0003 M

So, x = $[HSO^{-}_{3}] = [OH^{-}]$ = 0.0003 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}]$ = 0.58 - 0.0003

= 0.579 M

Now, we will use $[HSO^{-}_{3}]$ = 0.0003 M

The reaction will be as follows.

$HSO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{2}SO_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.0003

Equilibrium: 0.0003 - x x x

$K_{b} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

$K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{1}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.4 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $7.14 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore, $7.14 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

As, x <<<< 0.0003. So, we can neglect x.

Therefore, $x^{2} = 7.14 \times 10^{-13} \times 0.0003$

= $0.00214 \times 10^{-13}$

x = $0.0146 \times 10^{-6}$

x = $[OH^{-}] = [H_{2}SO_{3}]$ = $1.46 \times 10^{-8}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{0.0003}$

= $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of spectator ion is $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M.

Are the bonds in each of the following substances ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent? Arrange the substances with polar

KengaRu [80]

Covalent bonds can be classified as nonpolar and polar covalent given the electronegativity difference between two atoms (ΔEN).

Nonpolar covalent bond electrons are shared equally between two atoms, polar covalent bond electrons are shared unequally, atoms have partial charges, ionic bond electrons are completely transferred to one atom, full charges present. Therefore, the greater the electronegativity difference, the greater the bond polarity. Let's determine the types of bonds present in the compounds and arrange the ones with polar covalent in order of increasing ΔEN. Sulfur and oxygen are both nonmetals so the substance is covalent. Sulfur has EN = 2.5 and oxygen has EN = 3.5. Since there is an electronegativity difference, the S−O bonds in the substance can be classified as polar covalent bonds.

Caroline has a condition where the amount of oxygen her blood can hold is greatly reduced. This leads to a decrease in oxygen su

Sphinxa [80]

The correct answer is : Circulatory and respiratory.

This condition primarily affects Caroline's circulatory system. Since the main purpose of the circulatory system is to supply the rest of the body with oxygen, this condition is greatly reducing the effectiveness of the circulatory system.
The decrease in oxygen supply to the lungs causes the reduction of the respiratory system effectivness as well, since the lung cells need oxygen for their metabolic processes.
