How surface area affects the rate of a reaction.

1 answer:

8 0

The smaller the surface area, the faster the rate of reaction will be. Think of ice. A full sized ice cube will take longer to melt than crushed ice. Crushed ice will melt much quicker because there is more surface area exposed. So if the surface area can be increased, so will the rate of reaction.

Hope this helps! :)

Can anyone help explain how to convert moles to grams and grams to moles im completely lost

Pepsi [2]

Simple dimensional analysis.

okay so youll need a periodic table to look up the molar mass. youll be given either an amount of grams or moles.

Using the systematic approach for equilibrium problems, calculate the pH of 0.05 M HOCl. Ka= 3.0*10-8 Group of answer choices 3.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The pH is equal to 4.41

Explanation:

Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:

HClO ⇄ ClO- + H+

start: 0.05 0 0

change -x +x +x

balance 0.05-x x x

As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.

the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:

$Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}$

The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:

$3x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2} }{0.05}$

clearing the x and calculating its value we have:

$x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]$

the pH can be calculated by:

$pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41$

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.093g of an unknown monoprotic acid into a 250mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 89 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

HA(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaA(aq) + H2O(l)

It takes 1 mole of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of the triprotic acid. This is called the reaction stoichiometry.

Step 2: Data given

Mass of the acid = 0.093 grams

volume = 250 mL

titrates with 0.16 M NaOH

adds 6.5 mL NaOH

Step 3: Calculate moles of NaOH

We know the concentration and volume of NaOH needed to neutralize the acid.

By determining the moles of NaOH in that volume in liters (95.9mL=0.0959L), the moles of acid in the original sample can be determined from the reaction stoichiometry.

Moles = Molarity * Volume

Moles = 0.16 M * 0.0065 L

Moles = 0.00104 moles NaOH

Step 4: Calculate moles of the unknown acid:

It takes 1 mole of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of the triprotic acid. This is called the reaction stoichiometry.

For 0.00104 moles NaOH we have 0.00104 moles of HA

Step 5: Calculate the molar mass of the acid

Molar mass Ha = Mass Ha / moles Ha

Molar mass Ha = 0.093 grams / 0.00104 moles

Molar mass Ha = 89.42 g/mol ≈89 g/mol

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 89 g/mol
