Answer:

2.62.

Explanation:

Okay let us first write the parameters in the question in question above out. We are given the ka value of propanoic acid, C2H5COOH to be equals to 1.34 × 10^- 5. Also, we are given the value for the initial concentration of propanoic acid to be 0.441 M.

So, let us delve right into the solution to the question and we will be starting by writting the equation below;

C2H5COOH <--------> H^+ + C2H5COO^-.

Please note that this Reaction is a reversible Reaction.

Therefore, the basic things about acid is its great tendency to release Hydrogen ion in an aqeous solution.

So, we will be taken equation above and correspond it with the time and Concentration.

C2H5COOH <----> H^+ C2H5COO^-.

Initial concentration of the C2H5COOH = 0.441 M and the initial concentration of H^+ and C2H5COO^- are both zero.

So, after a time, t, concentration of C2H5COOH= 0.441 - x and at that time the concentration of H^+ and C2H5COO^- are both x and x respectively.

Hence, Ka = [C2H5COO^-] [H^+]/ C2H5COOH. -----------------------(**).

Therefore, slotting in the values from above into equation (**), we have;

1.34 × 10^-5 = [x] [x]/ [0.441 - x].

1.34 × 10^-5= x^2/ [0.441 - x].

x^2 = 1.34 × 10^-5(0.441) - 1.34 × 10^-5x.

x^2 + 1.34 × 10^-5x - 5.91× 10^-6.

x = 2.4×10^-3.

Hence, the concentration of the propanoic acid at time, t= 0.441 - 2.4 ×10^-3.

==> 0.44 M.

pH = -log [H^+].

Then, we have; pH= - log[2.4× 10^-3].

pH= 2.62.

What is the silver ion concentration in a solution prepared by mixing 425 mL 0.397 M silver nitrate with 427 mL 0.459 M sodium p
Lisa [10]

Answer:

0 M is the silver ion concentration in a solution prepared mixing both the solutions.

Explanation:

molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (L)}}

Moles of silver nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 425 mL = 0.425  L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the silver nitrate solution = 0.397 M

n=0.397 M\times 0.425 L=0.1687 mol

Moles of sodium phosphate = n'

Volume of the sodium phosphate solution = 427 mL = 0.427  L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the sodium phosphate solution = 0.459 M

n'=0.459 M\times 0.427 L=0.1960 mol

3AgNO_3+Na_3PO_4\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4+3NaNO_3

According to reaction, 3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium phosphate, then 0.1687 moles of silver nitrate will recat with :

\frac{1}{3}\times 0.1687 mol=0.05623 mol of sodium phosphate

This means that only 0.05623 moles of sodium phosphate will react with all the 0.1687 moles of silver nitrate , making silver nitrate limiting reagent and sodium phosphate as an excessive reagent.

So, zero moles of silver nitrate will be left in the solution after mixing of the both solutions and hence zero moles of silver ions will left in the resulting solution.

0 M is the silver ion concentration in a solution prepared mixing both the solutions.

How many moles of O2 are produced when 0.425 mol of KO2 reacts in this fashion
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The chemical reaction is expressed as:

<span> 4KO2+2CO2→2K2CO3+3O2 
</span>
We are given the amount of KO2 to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations. We do as follows:

0.425 mol KO2 ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol KO2 ) = 0.319 mol O2 produced

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
