Answer:

[OH⁻] = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

Explanation:

Assuming the source of the carbonate ion is from a Group IA carbonate salt (e.g.; Na₂CO₃), then 0.115M Na₂CO₃(aq) => 2(0.115)M Na⁺(aq) + 0.115M CO₃²⁻(aq). The 0.115M CO₃²⁻ then reacts with water to give 0.115M carbonic acid; H₂CO₃(aq) in equilibrium with H⁺(aq) and HCO₃⁻(aq) as the 1st ionization step.

Analysis:

            H₂CO₃(aq)     ⇄     H⁺(aq)    +    HCO₃⁻(aq); Ka(1) = 4.3 x 10⁻⁷

C(i)          0.115M                      0                  0

ΔC              -x                        +x                  +x

C(eq)    0.115M - x                   x                    x

            ≅ 0.115M

Ka(1) = [H⁺(aq)][HCO₃⁻(aq)]/[H₂CO₃(aq)] = [(x)(x)/(0.115)]M = [x²/0.115]M

= 4.3 x 10⁻⁷  => x = [H⁺(aq)]₁ = SqrRt(4.3 x 10⁻⁷ · 0.115)M = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ions.

In general, it is assumed that all of the hydronium ion comes from the 1st ionization step as adding 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁷ would be an insignificant change in H⁺ ion concentration. Therefore, using 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ion  concentration, the hydroxide ion concentration is then calculated from

[H⁺][OH⁻] = Kw => [OH⁻] = (1 x 10⁻¹⁴/2.32 x 10⁻⁴)M = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

________________________________________________________

NOTE: The 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M  value for [H⁺] is reasonable for carbonic acid solution with pH ≅ 3.5 - 4.0.

What minimum frequency of light is required to ionize boron?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

frequency  = 8.22 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Explanation:

An electron's positional potential energy while in a given principle quantum energy level is given by Eₙ = - A/n² and A = constant = 2.18 x 10⁻¹⁸j. So to remove an electron from the valence level of Boron (₅B), energy need be added to promote the electron from n = 2 to n = ∞. That is, ΔE(ionization) = E(n=∞) - E(n=2) = (-A/(∞)²) - (-A/(2)²) = [2.18 x 10⁻¹⁸j/4] joules = 5.45 x 10⁻¹⁹ joules.

The frequency (f) of the wave ionization energy can then be determined from the expression ΔE(izn) = h·f; h = Planck's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴j·s. That is:

ΔE(izn) = h·f => f = ΔE(izn)/h = 5.45 x 10⁻¹⁹ j/6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s = 8.22 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

A cube has a height of 8 cm and a mass of 457 g. What is its density?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

the answer is b,  0.89

Explanation:

A cube has a height of 8 cm and a mass of 457 g. What is its density?

a. 233,984 g/cm

b.  0.89g/cm3

c. 1.12 g/cm3

Density = mass/volume

the volume of the cube is 8X8X8=512cm3

the mass is 457 gm

the density is 457/512 = 0.889 gm/cm3

the answer is b, 0.89
