Explain why the dissociation of a weak acid can be ignored when calculating the pH of a solution that contains both a weak acid

and a strong acid. The ion from the strong acid is a common ion in the dissociation reaction of the weak acid. Consequently, it shifts the equilibrium back toward the which the dissociation of the to the point where the amount of ion that it produces is negligible

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

The dissociation of a weak acid consist in the following equilibrium:

HX ⇄ H⁺ + X⁻

Where Ka is defined as:

Ka =  [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

A strong acid (HY) dissociates completely in water, thus:

HY → H⁺ + Y⁻

As the strong acid produces H⁺, in the equilibrium, the reaction shifts to the left -The undissociated form-, reducing the production of H⁺, allowing ignore the dissociation of the weak acid when calculating the pH.

HELP ASAP PLZ!!!! Find the mass of each substance. Show your work.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A. m C5H12 = 108.23 g

B. m F2 = 547.142 g

C. m Ca(CN)2 = 71.85 g

Explanation:

  • mass (m) = mol (n) × molecular weigth (Mw)

∴ Mw C5H12 = ((12.011)(5)) + ((1.008)(12)) = 72.151 g/mol C5H12

∴ Mw F2 = (18.998)(2) = 37.996 g/mol F2

∴ Mw = Ca(CN)2 = 40.078+((12.011+14.007)(2)) = 92.114 g/mol Ca(CN)2

A. m C5H12 = ( 1.50 mol)×(72.151 g/mol) = 108.23 g C5H12

B. m F2 = (14.4 mol)×(37.996 g/mol) = 547.142 g F2

C. m Ca(CN)2 = (0.780 mol)×(92.114 g/mol) = 71.85 g Ca(CN)2

What is the purpose of a unit conversion?
Nataly [62]

<em><u>Unit conversion is very important because the rest of the world other than three contries uses the metric system. So, converting unitsis important in science because it uses the metric system. The metric system aremeasurements like cm, m, l, mL, etc.</u></em>

Talja [164]

The mass of solute per 100 mL of solution is abbreviated as (m/v). Mass is not technically the same thing as weight, but the abbreviation (w/v) is also common. 262 grams of sucrose are needed to make 655 mL of a 40.0% (w/v) sucrose solution

<h3>Define Solute</h3>

A solute is a material that dissolves in a solution. The amount of solvent present in fluid solutions is greater than the amount of solute. The two most common examples of solutions in daily life are salt and water. Salt is the solute because it dissolves in water.

<h3>forms of ratios for product concentration or yield:-</h3>
  • w/v:- Weight by volume or weight per volume are the terms used. Any solid compound's concentration in a liquid can be calculated using it. It is measurable in gm/ml.
  • Weight by weight ratio is referred to as w/w.It is employed to determine the final yield of the compound obtained from the starting compound. as in —mg/—gm.

       It provides the real yield of the substance or item.

  • Volume/volume. It is used to specify a liquid's composition or percent in a liquid compound.

using w/v we can calculate the weight of sucrose:-

40.0% means 40 g sucrose/ 100 g solution

40.0g sucrose x (655/100)=grams of sucrose

262  grams of sucrose are needed to make 655 mL of a 40.0% (w/v) sucrose solution.
