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%

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Carbon tetrachloride can be produced by the following reaction:

CS_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons S_2Cl_2(g)+CCl_4(g)

Suppose 1.20 mol CS_2(g) of and 3.60 mol of Cl_2(g)  were placed in a 1.00-L flask at an unknown temperature. After equilibrium has been achieved, the mixture contains 0.72 mol  of CCl_4. Calculate equilibrium constant at the unknown temperature.

Answer: The equilibrium constant at unknown temperature is 0.36

Explanation:

Moles of  CS_2 = 1.20 mole

Moles of  Cl_2 = 3.60 mole

Volume of solution = 1.00  L

Initial concentration of CS_2 = \frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{1.20mol}{1L}=1.20M

Initial concentration of Cl_2 = \frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{3.60mol}{1L}=3.60M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                 CS_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons S_2Cl_2(g)+CCl_4(g)

Initial conc.         1.20 M        3.60 M                  0                  0

At eqm. conc.     (1.20-x) M   (3.60-3x) M   (x) M        (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[S_2Cl_2]\times [CCl_4]}{[Cl_2]^3[CS_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(3.60-3x)^3\times (1.20-x)}

Given :Equilibrium concentration of CCl_4 , x = \frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.72mol}{1L}=0.72M

K_c=\frac{(0.72)\times (0.72)}{(3.60-3\times 0.72)^3\times (1.20-0.72)}

K_c=0.36

Thus equilibrium constant at unknown temperature is 0.36

Consider the equation: 2NO(0) - N.04(). Using ONLY the information given by the equation which of the following
ratelena [41]

Answer:

By increasing the pressure, the molar concentration of  N2O4 will increase

Explanation:

We have the equation 2NO2 ⇔ N2O4

This equation is reversible and exotherm. By <u>decreasing the temperature</u>, the reaction will produce more energy, so the reaction will move to the right.  But a lower temperature also lowers the rate of the process, so, the temperature is set at a compromise value that allows N2O4 to be made at a reasonable rate with an equilibrium concentration that is not too unfavorable

So <u>increasing the temperature</u> will shift the equilibrium to the left. The equilibrium shifts in the direction that consumes energy.

If we d<u>ecrease the concentration of NO2</u>, the equilibrium will shift to the left, resulting in forming more reactants.

To increase the molar concentration of the product N2O4, we have to <u>increase the pressure</u> of the system.

NO2 takes up more space than N2O4, so increasing the pressure would allow the reactant to collide more form more product.

By increasing the pressure, the molar concentration of  N2O4 will increase

A runner is traveling around the track below at a constant speed. Is she accelerating?
Black_prince [1.1K]

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

D.No, she is not accelerating because her speed is constant.

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration.

acceleration =change in velocity/time

As she is running at constant speed  and there is no change in velocity so she is not accelerating.
