The pH of 0.10 M solution of an acid is 6. What is the acid dissociation constant of the acid?

Chemistry

Answer: Dissociation constant of the acid is 10^{-11}.

Explanation: Assuming the acid to be monoprotic, the reaction follows:

                         HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-

pH of the solution = 6

and we know that

pH=-log([H^+])

[H^+]=antilog(-pH)

[H^+]=antilog(-6)=10^{-6}M

As HA ionizes into its ions in 1 : 1 ratio, hence

[H^+]=[A^-]=10^{-6}M

As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of acid decreases as it ionizes into its ions, hence the decreases concentration of acid at equilibrium will be:

[HA]=[HA]-[H^+]

[HA]=0.1M-10^{-6}M

[HA]=0.09999M

Dissociation Constant of acid, K_a is given as:

K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{HA}

Putting values of [H^+],[A^-]\text{ and }[HA] in the above equation, we get

K_a=\frac{(10^{-6}M).(10^{-6}M)}{0.09999M}

K_a=1.0001\times 10^{-11}M

Rounding it of to one significant figure, we get

K_a=1.0\times 10^{-11}M\approx 10^{-11}M

Name the element described in each of the following:
borishaifa [10]

Alkaline earth metal whose cation isoelectric with Kr is strontium (Sr).

What is Alkaline earth metal?

Six chemical elements from group 2 of the periodic chart make up the alkaline earth metals. They are boron (R), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and radium (Ra). The elements share many characteristics, including being glossy, silvery-white, moderately reactive metals at standard pressure and temperature.

They share a full outer s-orbital structurally, meaning that this orbital includes all two of its electrons, which the alkaline earth metals rapidly lose to form cations with a charge of +2 and an oxidation state of +2.

All of the identified alkaline earth metals are found in nature, albeit radium is not a primordial element but only appears as part of the decay chain of uranium and thorium.

The chemical element strontium has the atomic number 38 and the symbol Sr. Strontium is a soft, silver-white, yellowish metallic element that is an alkaline earth metal and has a strong reactivity to chemicals. When the metal is exposed to air, a thick layer of dark oxide forms. Similar to its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, barium and calcium, strontium exhibits physical and chemical characteristics. It is mostly obtained from the minerals celestine and strontianite, where it is found naturally.

7. A species is _ when its population has become so low that it is close to becoming extinct
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).
