If the pH of a weak acid solution is 2.500 and the solution has a concentration of 0.100M, what is the Ka of the weak acid HA?

Answer:

The Kₐ of the weak acid is 1.033×10⁻⁴

Explanation:

The dissociation of a weak acid in aqueous solution is limited to about 5 to 10%

The acid dissociation reaction is given as follows;

HA (aq) + H₂O (l) → H₃O⁺(aq) + A⁻ (aq)

Given that the pH = 2.5, we have

pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺] = 2.5

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10^(-2.5) = 0.0031623

K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

Kₐ = [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA] = (0.0031623^2)/(0.1 - 0.0031623) = 1.033×10⁻⁴

The acid dissociation constant, Kₐ for weak acid is very low as obtained

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor when an elephant who weighs 2400 N
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The answer is

<h3>6000 N/m² or 6000 Pa</h3>

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by an object given the force of the object and the area can be found by using the formula

P =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

where

P is the pressure

f is the force

a is the area

From the question

f = 2400 N

a = 0.4 m²

So we have

P =  \frac{2400}{0.4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6000 N/m² or 6000 Pa</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many grams of NaCI are present in 11.00 moles
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: 642.93 g of NaCl

Explanation:

11.00 mol NaCl  x  __58.448 g__  =  642.928 g of NaCl

                                 1 mol NaCl

I would round to 642.93 g of NaCl, but round to however many significant figures asked for.

My chemistry teacher made this map (image attached) to teach us how to do conversions. Just follow the map. I think it's pretty straight forward. I hope this helps.

How many moles of MgS2O3 are in 223 g of the compound
Alexxandr [17]
Moles of MgS2O3 = 223/molar mass of MgS2O3
    
                              =   223/136.42 
                              =     1.634 moles.

A 5.00 mL of a salt solution of unknown concentration was mixed with 35.0 mL of 0.523 M AgNO3. The mass of AgCl solid formed was
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The chemical term in the equation for the precipitate of AgCl(s) is n=3.54*10^-3

Explanation:

the quantity of AgCl(s) in moles is:

n = 0.508g / 143.32 g/mol = 3.54*10^-3 mol

to verify it the mass of AgNO3 involved in the reaction should be

n AgNO3 required = n = 3.54*10^-3 mol

the mass of n involved should be higher than n AgNO3

n existing = V*N = 0.523 mol/L * 35*10^-3 L = 18.305*10^-3 mol
