Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

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

Give c= 0.25 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Putting in the values we get:

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.0084

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7

Thus pH is 2.7

What is the reason behind that the melting and boiling point of iron is more than that of sodium? Write any two differences betw
liraira [26]

Answer:

difference between metal and alloy is that the metal is a pure substance whereas the alloy is a mixture of two or more components.

Explanation:

Mostly the metalloids have the appearance just like the metallic appearance And also they are the brittle one's . Boron and silicon are the example. Note; By combining with other metals metalloid can form the alloy

The human body has four types of tissues, and the eye contains all four. Which statement correctly pairs the part of the eye
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Nerve tissue is found in the retina, the rods and cones at the back of the eye.

Explanation:

The rods and cones are photoreceptors (that is nerve cells within the eyes that can sense light) which is situated in the retina.

These photoreceptors also sense colours and send these signals into the optic nerve for transmission to the brain.

Calculate the entropy change for the reaction: Fe2O3(s) +3C(s) -> 2Fe(s) + 3CO(g)
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Standard Entropy of Fe₂O₃ = 90Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of C = 5.7Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of Fe = 27.2Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of CO = 198Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

To find the entropy change of the reaction, we first write a balanced reaction equation:

                              Fe₂O₃ +  3C →  2Fe + 3CO

To calculate the entropy change of the reaction we simply use the equation below:

      ΔS = ∑S_{products} - ∑S_{reactants}

Therefore:

     ΔS = [(2x27.2) + (3x198)] - [(90) + (3x5.7)] = 648.4 - 107.1

                          ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
