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!

Answer :By the time thermal equilibrium is attained in the system, ice is completely converted to water.

What is tehrmal equilibrium?

Thermal equilibrium is a situation in which two substances are exactly at the same temperature. That is. Heat is no longer flowing beween the bodies.

Recall that an insulated thermos flask implies that heat does not eneter or leave the system. Heat will flow from the water to the ice untill the both attains the same temperature and the ice is completely converted to water.
