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:

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

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

combustion analysis of a hydrocarbon produced 33.01g CO2 and 13.51g H2O. Calculate the empirical formula for the hydrocarbon

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$\rm CH_2$ .

Explanation:

Carbon and hydrogen are the only two elements in a hydrocarbon. When a hydrocarbon combusts completely in excess oxygen, the products would be $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ . The $\rm C$ and $\rm H$ would come from the hydrocarbon, while the $\rm O$ atoms would come from oxygen.

Look up the relative atomic mass of these three elements on a modern periodic table:

$\rm C$ : $12.011$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm O$ : $\rm 15.999$ .

Calculate the molar mass of $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ :

$M(\mathrm{CO_2}) = 12.011 + 2 \times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 2 \times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm CO_2$ molecules in $33.01\; \rm g$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CO_2}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CO_2})}{M(\mathrm{CO2})} = \frac{33.01\; \rm g}{44.009\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

Similarly, calculate the number of moles of $\rm H_2O$ molecules in $13.51\; \rm g$ of $\rm H_2O\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{13.51\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7499\; \rm mol$ .

Note that there is one carbon atom in every $\rm CO_2$ molecule. Approximately $0.7501\; \rm mol$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ molecules would correspond to the same number of $\rm C$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{C}) \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

On the other hand, there are two hydrogen atoms in every $\rm H_2O$ molecule. approximately $0.7499\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2O$ molecules would correspond to twice as many $\rm H\!$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 2 \times 0.7499 \; \rm mol\approx 1.500\; \rm mol$ .

The ratio between the two is: $n(\mathrm{C}): n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 1:2$ .

The empirical formula of a compound gives the smallest whole-number ratio between the elements. For this hydrocarbon, the empirical formula would be $\rm CH_2$ .
