a. 43.1 g
b. 38.2%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
32.5 grams of NaOH
Required
The theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃
The percent yield
Solution
Reaction
2NaOH(s) + CO₂(g) → Na₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(l)
mol NaOH :
= mass : MW
= 32.5 : 40 g/mol
= 0.8125
mol Na₂CO₃ from the equation :
= 1/2 x mol NaOH
= 1/2 x 0.8125
= 0.40625
a.
Mass Na₂CO₃ :
= mol x MW Na₂CO₃
= 0.40625 x 106 g/mol
= 43.0625≈43.1 g
b. % yield = (actual/theoretical) x 100%
%yield = 16.45/43.1 x 1005
%yield = 38.17%≈38.2%
Answer:
option C. Addition of protons to the atomic nucleus.
Explanation:
Elements are fundamentally made up of atoms. Atoms in turn has three sub particles.
These particles are; neutrons, electrons and protons.
The sub particles responsible for the mass of an atoms is basically the protons and neutrons. Going through the options;
The correct option is option C. Addition of protons to the atomic nucleus.
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the pH defines the concentration of hydrogen:
![pH=-log([H^+])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%28%5BH%5E%2B%5D%29)
![[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.4}=3.98x10^{-4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D10%5E%7B-pH%7D%3D10%5E%7B-3.4%7D%3D3.98x10%5E%7B-4%7D)
And the percent ionization is:
![\% \ ionization=\frac{[H^+]}{[HA]}*100\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%25%20%5C%20ionization%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%2A100%5C%25)
We compute the concentration of the acid, HA:
![[HA]=\frac{[H^+]}{\% \ ionization}*100\%=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}}{66\%} *100\%\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHA%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5C%25%20%5C%20ionization%7D%2A100%5C%25%3D%5Cfrac%7B3.98x10%5E%7B-4%7D%7D%7B66%5C%25%7D%20%20%2A100%5C%25%5C%5C%5C%5C)
![[HA]=6.03x10^{-4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHA%5D%3D6.03x10%5E%7B-4%7D)
Thus, the Ka is:
![Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}*3.98x10^{-4}}{6.03x10^{-4}}\\ \\Ka=2.63x10^{-4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ka%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BA%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B3.98x10%5E%7B-4%7D%2A3.98x10%5E%7B-4%7D%7D%7B6.03x10%5E%7B-4%7D%7D%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5CKa%3D2.63x10%5E%7B-4%7D)
So the pKa is:
