Answer:

Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions. For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will need to add H + ions to balance the hydrogen ions in the half reaction.

Answer:

We can use the half-reaction method to balance the equations of redox reactions occurring in aqueous solution. ... Each half-reaction is balanced for mass and charge, and then the two equations are recombined with appropriate coefficients so that the electrons cancel.

The ph of a 0.30 m solution of a weak acid is 2.67. what is the ka for this acid?

azamat

To determine the Ka of the acid, we can use the equation for the pH of weak acids which is expressed as:

pH = -0.5 log Ka
2.67 = -0.5 log Ka
Ka = 4.571x10^-6

Weak acids are acids that do not dissociate completely in solution. The solution would contain the cations, anions and the acid itself as a compound. Hope this helps.

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. HCN(aq) H2

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory was modified and extended by Bronsted-Lowry.

Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

$\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}$

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

$H_2O$ accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is HCN

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is H2O
