What is the pH of 2.0 M nitrous acid at equilibrium (Ka= 4.6×10-4)?

To find pH, you need this formula: pH= -log [H+]

as you can see, we need to find first the concentration of H+.

you find it, we can use the ka value. Ka is the dissociation constant for acid and it can be used to determine the H+ concentration

Ka= (x)^2/ initial concentration

x = [H+], so all we need to do is solve for X.

ka= 4.6x10-4
initial= 2.0M

so now the formula looks like this:

4.6x10-4= (x)^2/ 2.0

x=0.0303 = [H+]

now that we have the H+ concentration, we can plug it in the pH formula to get our answer

pH= -log (0.0303)= 1.52

Draw the best Lewis structure for CH 3 -1. What is the formal charge on the C?

djyliett [7]

Answer : The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $CH_3^{-1}$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $CH_3^{-1}$ = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1$

The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

A stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains

maria [59]

Answer:

3. Equal numbers of protons and neutrons

Explanation:

The nucleus becomes unstable if the ratio of protons to neutrons is less than 1:1 or more than 1:1.5.

The most stable nucleus has a neutron proton ratio of 1:1 which means that they can not release a neutron or a proton to decay.

Nucleus 3 is therefore the most stable.

The thallium (present as Tl2SO4) in a 9.486-g pesticide sample was precipitated as thallium(I) iodide. Calculate the mass percen

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: The mass percentage of $Tl_2SO_4$ is 5.86%

Explanation:

To calculate the mass percentage of $Tl_2SO_4$ in the sample it is necessary to know the mass of the solute ( $Tl_2SO_4$ in this case), and the mass of the solution (pesticide sample, whose mass is explicit in the letter of the problem).

To calculate the mass of the solute, we must take the mass of the $TlI$ precipitate. We can establish a relation between the mass of $TlI$ and $Tl_2SO_4$ using the stoichiometry of the compounds:

$moles\ of\ TlI = \frac{0.1824 g}{331.27\frac{g}{mol} } = 5.51*10^{-4}\ mol.$

Since for every mole of Tl in $TlI$ there are two moles of Tl in $Tl_2SO_4$ , we have:

$moles\ of\ Tl_2SO_4 = 2 * moles\ of\ TlI = 1,102*10^{-3}\ mol$

Using the molar mass of $Tl_2SO_4$ we have:

$mass\ of\ Tl_2SO_4 = 1,102*10^{-3}\ mol * 504.83\ \frac{g}{mol}= 0.56\ g$

Finally, we can use the mass percentage formula:

$mass\ percentage = (\frac{solute\ mass}{solution\ mass} )*100 = (\frac{mass\ of\ Tl_2SO_4}{pesticide\ sample\ mass})*100 = (\frac{0.56g}{9.486g})*100 = 5.86\%$
