Answer:

Ka = 3.45x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

First we <u>calculate [H⁺]</u>, using <em>the given pH</em>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}=10^{-5.6}
  • [H⁺] = 2.51x10⁻⁶ M

To solve this problem we can use the following formula describing a monoprotic weak acid:

  • [H⁺] = \sqrt{C*Ka}

We <u>input the data that we already know</u>:

  • 2.51x10⁻⁶ = \sqrt{0.530*Ka}

And <u>solve for Ka</u>:

  • Ka = 3.45x10⁻⁶

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.<span>
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

</span><span>ΔT = -K (m) (i)

</span>ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent. 
<span>
K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent. 
</span><span>
m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent. 
</span><span>
i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.</span>

Water has hydrogen bonds between Hydrogen atoms (that are slightly positive in molecules of water ) and Oxygen atoms (that are slightly negative in molecules of water), so it is necessary more energy to break them down and move water molecules from liquid state to gas.

If the solution containing the metal complex ion is made acidic, why will the silver chloride precipitate
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer,

For example, silver ion can be precipitated with hydrochloric acid to yield solid silver chloride. Because many cations will not react with hydrochloric acid in this way, this simple reaction can be used to separate ions that form insoluble chlorides from those that do not.
