Why does thermal energy decreases when potassium is dissolved in water​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The process of dissolving can be endothermic (temperature goes down) or exothermic (temperature goes up).

When water dissolves a substance, the water molecules attract and “bond” to the particles (molecules or ions) of the substance causing the particles to separate from each other.

The “bond” that a water molecule makes is not a covalent or ionic bond. It is a strong attraction caused by water’s polarity.

It takes energy to break the bonds between the molecules or ions of the solute.

Energy is released when water molecules bond to the solute molecules or ions.

If it takes more energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes down (endothermic).

If it takes less energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes up (exothermic).

Hey! I was wondering how to get the solution to this question!
zzz [600]

Answer:

6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction

HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

The pH of the solution is 2.78.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M

Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵

If you have 1.1 moles of magnesium nitrate then how many grams is that
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 162.8 grams

Explanation:

Magnesium nitrate has a chemical formula of Mg(NO3)2.

Given that:

Number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 = 1.1 moles

Mass in grams of Mg(NO3)2 = ?

For Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2, use atomic mass of magnesium = 24g, nitrogen = 14g, oxygen = 16g

Mg(NO3)2 = 24g + (14g + 16gx3) x 2

= 24g + (14g + 48g) x 2

= 24g + (62g) x 2

= 24g + 124g

= 148g/mol

Now, apply the formula:

Number of moles = Mass in grams / molar mass

1.1 moles = Mass / 148g/mol

Mass = 1.1 moles x 148g/mol

Mass = 162.8 grams

Thus, there are 162.8 grams of magnesium nitrate.

What is the percent ionization of a 1.8 M HC2H3O2 solution (Ka = 1.8 10-5 ) at 25°C?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

B) 0.32 %

Explanation:

Given that:

K_{a}=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Concentration = 1.8 M

Considering the ICE table for the dissociation of acid as:-

\begin{matrix}&CH_3COOH&\rightleftharpoons &CH_3COOH&+&H^+\\ At\ time, t = 0 &1.8&&0&&0\\At\ time, t=t_{eq}&-x&&+x&&+x\\ ----------------&-----&-&-----&-&-----\\Concentration\ at\ equilibrium:-&1.8-x&&x&&x\end{matrix}

The expression for dissociation constant of acid is:

K_{a}=\frac {\left [ H^{+} \right ]\left [ {CH_3COO}^- \right ]}{[CH_3COOH]}

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{1.8-x}

1.8\left(1.8-x\right)=100000x^2

Solving for x, we get:

<u>x = 0.00568  M</u>

Percentage ionization = \frac{0.00568}{1.8}\times 100=0.32 \%

<u>Option B is correct.</u>
