Now you will solve the same problem as above, but using the quadratic formula instead of iterations, to show that the same value

of x is obtained either way. using the quadratic equation to calculate [h3o+] in 0.00250 m hno2, what are the values of a, b, c and x , where a, b, and c are the coefficients in the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, and x is [h3o+]? recall that ka=4.5×10−4 .

Answer:

a: 1

b: 4.5x10⁻⁴

c: 1.125x10⁻⁶

[H₃O⁺] = 0.000859M

Explanation:

As HNO₂ is a weak acid, its equilibrium in water is:

HNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Equilibrium constant, ka, is defined as:

ka = 4.5x10⁻⁴ = [H₃O⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] <em>(1)</em>

Equilibrium concentration of each specie are:

[HNO₂] = 0.00250M - x

[H₃O⁺] = x

[NO₂⁻] = x

Replacing in (1):

4.5x10⁻⁴ = x × x / 0.00250M - x

1.125x10⁻⁶ - 4.5x10⁻⁴x = x²

0 = x² + 4.5x10⁻⁴x - 1.125x10⁻⁶

As the quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

Coefficients are:

a: 1

b: 4.5x10⁻⁴

c: 1.125x10⁻⁶

Now, solving quadratic equation:

x = -0.0013 → False answer, there is no negative concentrations.

<em>x = 0.000859</em>

As [H₃O⁺] = x; <em>[H₃O⁺] = 0.000859M</em>

I hope it helps!

A student performed a chemical reaction in which 35 grams of hydrogen and 65 grams of oxygen reacted to form water. What is the
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The mass of the product is 73,06 g

Explanation:

The reaction to form water is:

2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

35 g     65 g

Molar mass H2 = 2g/m ---> I have 17,5 moles (35g / 2 g/m)

Molar mass O2 = 32g/m ---> I have 2,03 moles (65g / 32g/m)

2 moles of H2 __reacts with __ 1 mol O2

17,5 moles of H2 __ reacts with ___ (17,5 m . 1 m) / 2 m = 8,75 m

I have just 2,03 m of O2 and I need 8,75 m so O2 is my limiting reagent

1 mol of O2 ___ reacts with 2 moles H2

2,03 moles of O2 __ reacts with  (2,03 m . 2 m) / 1 m = 4,06 m

I have 17,5 moles of H2 and I need 4,06 m. H2 is my excess reagent

<u><em>"All operations are done with the limiting reagent"</em></u>

1 mol O2 are required____ to form 2 H2O

2,03 mol O2 are required __ to form (2,03m . 2m) / 1m = 4,06 m

Molar mass of water: 18 g/m

Mass of water ----> Molar mass . Moles water = 18 g/m . 4,06 m = 73,08g
