Answer:

a) Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁴; This is a weak acid because the acid is not completely dissociated in solution.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) and NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the acid dissociation constant

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

Ka = 0.022 × 0.022 / 0.68

Ka = 7.1 × 10⁻⁴

Step 3: Determine the strength of the acid

Since Ka is very small, nitrous acid is a weak acid, not completely dissociated in solution.

When a 1.00 L sample of water from the surface of the Dead Sea (which is more than 400 meters below sea level and much saltier t
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}

{\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}

Molarity=1.96mol/L

Thus molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M

Leni [432]

Answer:

A chemical formula for a molecular compound represents the composition of <u><em>a molecule.</em></u>

Explanation:

Chemical formulas are alphanumeric expressions that are used to indicate the composition of chemical substances. They consist of chemical symbols that indicate the elements that form a compound; The number of atoms provided by each element is also indicated by the use of a subscript, that is, a small number that is placed below and to the right of each element that so requires.  When an element does not have a subscript, it is understood that there is only one atom of it in the substance.

Each molecule corresponds to a chemical formula, as well as a name according to the rules of the chemical nomenclature.

Then, <u><em>a chemical formula for a molecular compound represents the composition of a molecule.</em></u>

A galvanic cell generates a cell potential of 0.32V when operated under standard conditions according to the reaction above. Whi
Ugo [173]

The complete question is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Let us quickly remember that the EMF of a cell under non standard conditions in given by the Nernst equation.

This equation states that;

E = E°cell - 0.592/n log Q

Where

E = EMF under non standard conditions

E°cell= standard EMF of the cell

n = number of electrons transferred

Q = reaction quotient

If the reaction quotient is greater than 1 then cell potential is less than the standard cell potential.

The cell that generates the lowest cell potential is the cell depicted in option C because Q has the greatest positive value(Q<1).
