Answer: 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+

   cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

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

Given:  c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

K_a = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also pH=-log[H^+]

1.86=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.01

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

0.01=0.15\times \alpha

\alpha=0.06

As [H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01

K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}

K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]

Thus the vale of K_a for the acid is 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Why k has more shielding effect than Na?​
lara [203]

Explanation:

As the charge of all electrons are equal, the repulsive force exerted by each of them is also going to be equal. So, as K has more electrons repulsing its valence electron than Na, it has greater electron shielding.

A solution is made by dissolving 10.7 g of magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, in enough water to make exactly 100 mL of solution. Calcula
adell [148]

Answer:

[MgSO₄] = 890 mM/L

Explanation:

In order to determine molarity we need to determine the moles of solute that are in 1L of solution.

Solute: MgSO₄ (10.7 g)

Solvent: water

Solution: 100 mL as volume. (100 mL . 1L / 1000mL) = 0.1L

We convert the solute's mass  to moles → 10.7 g / 120.36 g/mol = 0.089 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 0.089 mol/0.1L = 0.89 M

In order to calculate M to mM/L, we make this conversion:

0.89 mol . 1000 mmoles/ 1 mol = 890 mmoles
