Answer:

Oxygen Doesn't change

However, Li is oxidized (0 to +1), Na is reduced (+1 to 0)

Explanation:

On reactant side, Oxygen has -2 oxidation charge because we know common oxidation states such as oxygen -2, hydrogen +1 etc.

So NaOH, O is -2, H is +1, so Na has to be +1 to equal total charge of compound

In product side, LiOH, again O has to be -2, H is +1, so Li +1 as well..

We see that oxygen oxidation state doesn't change. However, for Li it becomes oxidized going from 0 to +1 whereas, Na is reduced going from +1 to 0.

Ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6; H2Asc for this problem), known as vitamin C, is a diprotic acid (Ka1= 1.0x10–5 and Ka2= 5x10–12) found

Answer:

The concentrations are :

$[HAsc^-]=0.000702 M$

$[Asc^{2-}]=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

The pH of the solution is 3.15.

Explanation:

$H_2Asc\rightleftharpoons HAs^-+H^+$ $K_{a1}=1.0\times 10^{-5}$

Initial

c 0 0

Equilibrium

c-x x x

$K_{a1}=\frac{[HAs^-][H^+]}{[H_2Asc]}$

$1.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$1.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{(0.050-x)}$

Solving for x:

x = 0.000702 M

$[HAsc^-]=0.000702 M$

$HAsc^-\rightleftharpoons As^{2-}+H^+$ $K_{a2}=5\times 10^{-12}$

Initially

x 0 0

At equilibrium ;

(x - y) y y

$K_{a2}=\frac{[As^{2-}][H^+]}{[HAsc^-]}$

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y\times y}{(x-y)}$

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y^2}{(x-y)}$

Putting value of x = 0.000702 M

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y^2}{(0.000702 -y)}$

$y=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

$[Asc^{2-}]=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

Total concentration of $[H^+]=x+y=0.000702 M+5.92\times 10^{-8} M=7.0206\times 10^{-4} M$

The pH of the solution :

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

$pH=-\log[7.0206\times 10^{-4} M}=3.15$

5.50 L of a 0.190 M CaCl2M CaCl2 solution<br> How do you find Grams?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

115.891

Explanation:

Molarity is equal to moles/liters so to get moles we multiply molarity by liters, after this we multiply the moles by the total atomic weight of the compound to get grams
