Answer:

2.17x10⁻¹⁰ = Kb1

1.69x10⁻¹³ = Kb2

Explanation:

Oxalic acid, C₂O₄H₂, has two intercambiable protons, its equilibriums are:

C₂O₄H₂ ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻ + H⁺ Ka1 = 5.9x10⁻²

C₂O₄H⁻ ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 = 4.6x10⁻⁵

Oxalate ion, C₂O₄²⁻, has as equilibriums:

C₂O₄²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻ + OH⁻ Kb1

C₂O₄H⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄H₂ + OH⁻ Kb2

Also, you can know: KaₓKb = Kw

<em>Where Kw is 1x10⁻¹⁴</em>

Thus:

Kw = Kb2ₓKa1

1x10⁻¹⁴ =Kb2ₓ4.6x10⁻⁵

<h3>2.17x10⁻¹⁰ = Kb1</h3>

And:

Kw = Kb1ₓKa2

1x10⁻¹⁴ =Kb1ₓ5.9x10⁻²

<h3>1.69x10⁻¹³ = Kb1</h3>

<em>That is because the inverse reaction of, for example, Ka1:</em>

<em>C₂O₄H⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ C₂O₄H₂ K = 1 / Ka1</em>

<em>+ H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻ K = Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴</em>

<em>= </em>

<em>C₂O₄H⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄H₂ + OH⁻ Kb2 = Kw × 1/Ka1</em>

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

1.  31.25 mL

2.  1.98 g/L

3.  0.45 g/mL

Explanation:

For each of the problems, you need to perform unit conversions.  You need to use the information given to you to convert to a specific unit.

1.  You need volume (mL).  You have density (g/mL) and mass (g).  Divide mass by density.  You will cancel out mL and be left with g.

(50.0 g)/(1.60 g/mL) = 31.25 mL

2.  You are given grams and liters.  You need to find density with units g/L.  This means that you have to divide grams by liters.

(0.891 g)/(0.450 L) = 1.98 g/L

3.  You have to find density again but this time with units g/mL.  Divide the given mass by the volume.

(10.0 g)/(22.0 mL) = 0.45 g/mL

An ionic compound is composed of the following elements:
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: N3 H12 P O3

Explanation:

From the question :

N = 31.57% H = 9.10% P = 23.27%

O= 36.06%

Divide each of the element by their respective relative atomic masses.

N = 31.57 / 14 = 2.26

H = 9.10/ 1 = 9.10

P = 23.27 / 31= 0.750

O =36.06 / 16 = 2.25

Divide each answer by the lowest of them all, we then have:

N = 2.26/ 0.750 = Approx = 3

H = 9.10 / 0.750 = Approx = 12

P = 0.750/ 0.750= 1

O = 2.25 / 0.750 = Approx = 3

The empiral formula is

N3 H12 P O3
