The correct equation for the decomposition reaction of Silver chloride :

2AgCl(s)⇒2Ag(s)+Cl₂(g)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Silver chloride breaks down into Silver and Chlorine.

Required

The correct equation

Solution

Decomposition reaction : a single reactants breaks down into 2 or more products. The reaction is the reverse of synthesis reaction

General formula :

AB ⇒ A + B

So for decomposition of Silver chloride :

<em>2AgCl(s)⇒2Ag(s)+Cl₂(g)</em>

Calculate the pka of hypochlorous acid. The ph of a 0.015 m solution of hypochlorous acid has a ph of 4.64.
o-na [289]

Answer:

  • pKa = 7.46

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO

b) [HClO} = 0.015

c) pH = 4.64

d) pKa = ?

<u>2) Strategy:</u>

With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.

<u>3) Solution:</u>

a) pH

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • 4.64 = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • [H_3O^+]= 10^{-4.64} = 2.29.10^{-5}

b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

c) Equilibrium constant: Ka =  [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]

d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M

e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M

f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46

To what temperature should 2.3L of a gas at 25degree Celsius be heated in order to expand its volume to 4 L under constant press
lakkis [162]

Answer:

518.52K

Explanation:

Charles law, which describes the direct relationship between the volume and the temperature of a gas when the pressure is constant, will be used for this question. The Charles law equation is:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where; V1 is the volume of the gas at an initial state (Litres)

T1 is the absolute temperature of the gas at an initial state (Kelvin)

V2 is the volume of the gas at a final state (Litres)

T2 is the absolute temperature of the gas at a final state (Kelvin)

According to the question, V1 = 2.3L, T1 = 25°C, V2 = 4L, T2 = ?

We need to convert the temperature to the absolute temperature unit in Kelvin (K) i.e.

T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15

T(K) = 25°C + 273.15

T1 (K) = 298.15K

To find for T2 in the equation, we make T2 the subject of the formula:

T2 = V2 × T1 / V1

T2 = 4 × 298.15 / 2.3

T2 = 1192.6/2.3

T2 = 518.52

Thus, the temperature must be heated to 518.52K in order to expand to a volume of 4L. This answer is in accordance to Charles law that the volume increases with increase in temperature and vice versa.
