Answer:

Kₐ = 4.06 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Step 1. <em>Calculate [H₃O⁺] </em>

\text{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+} = 10^{\text{-pH}}\text{ mol/L}

pH = 3.94

\text{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+} = 10^{-3.94}} \text{ mol/L}

[H₃O⁺] = 1.15 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

Calculate K_{\text{a}}

                             HF + H₂O ⇌          H₃O⁺          +          F⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹:           0.0326                          0                         0

C/mol·L⁻¹: 0.0326-1.15 × 10⁻⁴        +1.15 × 10⁻⁴           +1.15 × 10⁻⁴

E/mol·L⁻¹:         0.0325                    1.15 × 10⁻⁴            1.15 × 10⁻⁴

So, at equilibrium,

[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 1.15 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

[HF] = 0.326 – 1.15 × 10⁻⁴  mol·L⁻¹ = 0.0325 mol·L⁻¹

Kₐ = {[H₃O⁺][F⁻]}/[HF]

Kₐ = (1.15 × 10⁻⁴ × 1.15 × 10⁻⁴)/0.0325

Kₐ = 1.32 × 10⁻⁸/0.0325

Kₐ = 4.06 × 10⁻⁷

This is <em>NOT</em> a solution of HF (Kₐ = 7.2 × 10⁻⁴). It is more likely a solution of carbonic acid (H₂CO₃; Kₐ₁ = 4.27 × 10⁻⁷).

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high <u>electronegativity</u> as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an <u>inductive effect</u>. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be <u>weaker</u> and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion H^+).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have <u>2 Br atoms</u> near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have <u>more acidity</u>. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the <u>position</u> of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a <u>higher inductive effect</u> and more <u>acidity</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

2.00 L of 0.800 M NaNO3 must be prepared from a solution known to be 2.50 M in concentration.How many mL are required? Plus don'
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1.36 × 10³ mL of water.

Explanation:

We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:

\displaystyle M_1V_1= M_2V_2

Where <em>M</em> represents molarity and <em>V</em> represents volume.

Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be <em>M</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be <em>M</em>₂ and <em>V</em>₂, respectively. Solve for <em>V</em>₁:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (2.50\text{ M})V_1 &= (0.800\text{ M})(2.00\text{ L}) \\ \\ V_1 & = 0.640\text{ L} \end{aligned}

Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
\displaystyle 2.00\text{ L} - 0.640\text{ L} = 1.36\text{ L}

Convert this value to mL:
\displaystyle 1.36\text{ L} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 1.36\times 10^3\text{ mL}

Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.
