The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH at 25°C of a 0.39 M solution of sodium hypochlorite NaClO. Note that hypochlorous acid HClO is a weak acid with a pKa of 7.50. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 10.4

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Molarity of sodium hypochlorite = 0.39 M

$pK_a$ of HClO = 7.50

We know that:

$pK_a=-\log K_a$

$K_a$ of HClO = $10^{-7.50}=3.16\times 10^{-8}$

To calculate the base dissociation constant for the given acid dissociation constant, we use the equation:

$K_w=K_b\times K_a$

where,

$K_w$ = Ionic product of water = $10^{-14}$

$K_a$ = Acid dissociation constant = $3.16\times 10^{-8}$

$K_b$ = Base dissociation constant

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10^{-14}=3.16\times 10^{-8}\times K_b\\\\K_b=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.16\times 10^{-8}}=3.16\times 10^{-7}$

The chemical equation for the reaction of hypochlorite ion with water follows:

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

<u>Initial:</u> 0.39

<u>At eqllm:</u> 0.39-x x x

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[HClO][OH^-]}{[ClO^-]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.16\times 10^{-7}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.39-x)}\\\\x=-0.00035,0.00035$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=0.00035M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log (0.00035)=3.6$

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-3.6=10.4$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.4

An atom of uranium-238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234. Which type of nuclear decay has occurred?

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:-

Alpha decay

Explanation:-

Uranium 238 has atomic number 92 and mass number 238.

Thorium 234 has atomic number 90 and mass number 234.

So, the change in atomic number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234 = 92 – 90 = 2

So, the change in mass number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234= 238 – 234 = 4

We know that when an alpha particle is emitted, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

So when an atom of uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234, alpha decay has occurred.

Which of the following will have the slowest rate of diffusion at a given temperature?

marysya [2.9K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Chlorine gas (Cl₂)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to the Graham's law of diffusion, the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass.
Therefore, a lighter gas will diffuse faster at a given temperature compared to a heavy gas.
Consequently, the heavier a gas is then the denser it is and the slower it diffuses at a given temperature and vice versa.

In this case we are given gases, CI₂

, H₂,He and Ne.

We are required to identify the gas that will diffuse at the slowest rate.
In other words we are required to determine the heaviest gas.

Looking at the molar mass of the gases given;

Cl₂- 70.91 g/mol

H₂- 2.02 g/mol

He - 4.00 g/mol

Ne- 20.18 g/mol

Therefore, chlorine gas is the heaviest and thus will diffuse at the slowest rate among the choices given.
