the lone pairs will be negatively charged. these have a repulsion effect on other negatively charged electrons in the shells of atoms. picture a water molecule: the lone electron pair on the top of the oxygen will have a repulsion force on the 2 hydrogen atom's orbiting electrons to cause a bent molecular geometry.

A solution of acetic acid has a pH of 3.45. What is the concentration of acetic acid in this solution? Ka for CH3COOH is 1.8×10-

Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.007 M

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,

pH = - log [H⁺]

The expression of the pH of the calculation of weak acid is:-

$pH=-log(\sqrt{k_a\times C})$

Where, C is the concentration = ?

Given, pH = 3.45

So, for $CH_3COOH$ , $K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

$3.45=-log(\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times C})$

$\log _{10}\left(\sqrt{1.8\cdot \:10^{-5}C}\right)=-3.45$

C = 0.007 M

A multivitamin tablet contains 40 milligrams of potassium. how many moles of potassium does each tablet contain?

katrin2010 [14]

Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
= 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium
