The acid dissociation constant Ka of boric acid (H3BO3) is 5.8 times 10^-10. Calculate the pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid.

madam [21]

Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

$H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-$

at t=0 cM 0 0

at eqm $c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 4.4 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}$

Putting in the values we get:

$5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.000011$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3$

Thus pH of a 4.4 M $H_3BO_3$ solution is 4.3

Which of the following series of isoelectronic ions (Mg²⁺, N³⁻, F⁻, Si⁴⁺) has the ionic radii in order of largest to smallest? A

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct

N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺

Explanation:

Total electrons for all the species = 10

So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.

We know

Ionic radii ∝ $\frac{Magnitude of Negative Charge}{Magnitude of Positive Charge}$

Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons

Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size

Charles's law is an experimental gas law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its corresponding volu

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

Charles law describes the behavior of gases when heated. Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas would increase as its Kelvin temperature increases provided the pressure is held constant. That is the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature at constant pressure
