Answer:

69.3%

Explanation:

The question should read as follows:

A weak acid, HA, has a pKa of 4.357. If a solution of this acid has a pH of 4.005, what percentage of the acid is not ionized? Assume all H⁺ in the solution came from the ionization of HA.

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pKa and pH of a solution to the ratio of ionized (A⁻) and unionized (HA) forms of a weak acid:

pH = pKa + log ([A⁻]/[HA])

Substituting and solving for [A⁻]/[HA]:

4.005 = 4.3574 = log([A⁻]/[HA])

-0.3524 = log([A⁻]/[HA])

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.444/1

The percentage of acid that is not ionized (i.e. the percentage of acid in the HA form) is calculated:

[HA]/([A⁻] + [HA]) x 100% = 1/(1+0.444) x 100% = 69.3%

Consider this reaction mechanism: Step 1: Mo(CO)6→ Mo(CO)5 + CO Step 2: Mo(CO)5 + P(CH3)3→ Mo(CO)5P(CH3)3 Which of these is an i
Alja [10]

Answer:

Mo(CO)5 is the intermediate in this reaction mechanism.

Explanation:

The reaction mechanism describes the sequence of elementary reactions that must occur to go from reactants to products. Reaction intermediates are formed in one step and then consumed in a later step of the reaction mechanism.

In this reaction mechanism, Mo(CO)5 is the product of 1st reaction and then it is used as a reactant in 2nd reaction. So, Mo(CO)5 is the reaction intermediates.

The overall balanced equation would be,

Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3) ↔ CO + Mo(CO)5 +  P(CH3)3

Yield for this reaction?<br> Reaction: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3 (g)
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes, yield.

Explanation:

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3 (g) balanced equation

First, find limiting reactant:  

Moles H2 = 1.83 g x 1 mole/2 g = 0.915 moles H2

Moles N2 = 9.84 g N2 x 1 mole/28 g = 0.351 moles N2

The mole ratio of H2: N2 is 3:1, so H2 is limiting (0.915 is less than 3 x 0.351)

Theoretical yield of NH3 = 0.915 mol H2 x 2 mol NH3/3 mol H2 = 0.61 moles NH3
