Answer:

[H⁺] = 6.083x10⁻⁴ M, [C₆H₅OO⁻] = 6.083x10⁻⁴ M, [C₆H₅OOH] = 3.98x10⁻³M, pH = 3.22

Explanation:

Data: we have 0.56 gr of benzoic acid, disolved in 1Lt of water. Kₐ = 6.4x10⁻⁵

M (molar mass) of BA (Benzoic Acid) = 122 g/mol

Then, the inicial concentration is 0.56/122 = 4.59x10⁻³ M

We should consider the equation once it reaches the equilibrium:

C₆H₅COOH ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

  C - x                      x              x

And, for the Kₐ:

Kₐ = [H⁺][C₆H₅COO⁻]/[C₆H₅COOH] = x²/(C-x) , where C = 4.59x10⁻³

Then: x² + Kₐx - KₐC = 0

x² + 6.4x10⁻⁵ - 2.9x10⁻⁷ = 0

Resolving this cuadratic equation (remember to use Baskara equation), we obtain:

x = 6.083x10⁻⁴ M

Then: [H⁺] = [C₆H₅COO⁻] = 6.083x10⁻⁴ M

[C₆H₅COOH] = C - x = 3.98x10⁻³ M

pH = -Log [H⁺] = 3.22

Which type of mixture can be separated using magnetism?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: The correct option is heterogeneous mixture whose components are attracted differently to a magnet.

Explanation: There are two types of mixtures:

1) Homogeneous mixtures: In these mixtures, the particles are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. These particles cannot be separated.

2) Heterogeneous Mixtures: These are the mixtures where the particles are visible separated and are not-uniformly distributed. These particles can be separated easily.

If magnet is used to separate the components of a mixture, the heterogeneous mixtures will only get separated.

To separate the components by a magnet, the components of a mixture should attract the magnet differently. One component should attract the magnet and another should not. Hence, they can be easily separated.

An unknown volume of gas has a pressure of 0.50 atm and temperature of 325 K. If the pressure is raised to 1.2 atm and the tempe
Grace [21]
You can solve this by using the equation (P1V1/T1) = (P2V2/T2). Plug in 0.50 atm for P1, leave V1 as the unknown, and plug in 325 K as T1. Then substitute 1.2 atm for P2, 48 L for V2, and 320 K for T2. Solve for V1, which is 117L, but since you round using two sig figs, your answer is C, 120 L. Hope this helps!
