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!

4 Compare What is the difference between<br> temperature, thermal energy, and heat?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The term temperature refers to the average amount of heat or the motion energy of particles in a substance. It measures the hotness and coldness of a substance. If an object has particles that move very fast, then it has a high temperature.

Temperature is different from the term thermal energy. Thermal energy is the total motion energy of particles in a substance. The movement of particles is always dependent on their number. If an object contains many particles, then it has greater thermal energy.

On the other hand, Heat is the energy that is involved in the movement of particles between objects that have different temperatures, particularly from an object with a high temperature to an object with a low temperature.
