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).

Lapatulllka [165]

The enthalpy change for the formation step of this intermediate is 136 kJ/mol.

<h3>What is the enthalpy?</h3>

The enthalpy of reaction can be obtained from the enthalpies of formation of the species involved. The enthalpy of reaction is the heat evolved or absorbed in a reaction.

Thus, the enthalpy change for the formation step of this intermediate is 4 *  34 kJ/mol = 136 kJ/mol.

monitta

Answer

The Density of a substance can change if its location changes.

Explanation

All the statements are TRUE except

The Density of a substance can change if its location changes.

This is because density is an intensive property, that is regardless of the object's shape, size, or quantity, the density of that substance will always be the same. Even if you cut the object into a million pieces, they would still each have the same density.

Therefore, the statement that is FALSE is

The Density of a substance can change if its location changes.

Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a
Marat540 [252]

Answer : The partial pressure of helium is, 1.815\times 10^4KPa

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mole

Molar mass of N_2 = 28 g/mole

Total pressure of gas = 2.07\times 10^4KPa

As we are given gases in percent, that means 10 g of oxygen gas, 50 g of helium gas and 40 g of nitrogen gas present in 100 g of mixture.

First we have to calculate the moles of oxygen, helium and nitrogen gas.

\text{Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{10g}{32g/mole}=0.3125moles

\text{Moles of }He=\frac{\text{Mass of }He}{\text{Molar mass of }He}=\frac{50g}{4g/mole}=12.5moles

\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }N_2}{\text{Molar mass of }N_2}=\frac{40g}{28g/mole}=1.428moles

Now we have to calculate the total number of moles of gas mixture.

\text{Total number of moles of gas}=\text{Moles of oxygen gas}+\text{Mole of helium gas}+\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}

\text{Total number of moles of gas}=0.3125+12.5+1.428=14.24moles

Now we have to calculate the moles fraction of helium gas.

\text{Mole fraction of He gas}=\frac{\text{Moles of He gas}}{\text{Total number of moles of gas}}=\frac{12.5}{14.25}=0.877

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of helium.

p_{He}=X_{He}\times P_T

where,

p_{He} = partial pressure of helium

P_T = total pressure

X_{He} = mole fraction of helium

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

p_{He}=(0.877)\times (2.07\times 10^4KPa)=1.815\times 10^4KPa

Therefore, the partial pressure of helium is, 1.815\times 10^4KPa

How many number of oxygen molecules are required to produce 0.22 g of CO2 according to the reaction?
zmey [24]
The number of moles for co2=mass(g)/molar mass
n=.22/44=.005 mole of CO2
from the equation we see the relationship between the moles of co2 and O2 and we find that they have the same number of moles
So we need .005mole of O2
Multiple the number of moles with avogadro’s number to know the number of O2molecules
.005x6.022 x10^23
