Answer:
Determine the pH of the solution half-way to the end-point on the pH titration curve for acetic acid.
Explanation:
The equation for the ionization of acetic acid is
HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻
For points between the starting and equivalence points, the pH is given by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
![\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BpH%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7BpK%7D_%7B%5Ctext%7Ba%7D%7D%20%2B%20%5Clog%5Cdfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7BA%7D%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7D)
At the half-way point, half of the HA has been converted to A⁻, so [HA] = [A⁻]. Then,
The pKₐ is the pH at the half-way point in the titration.
Answer:
a)there would be no reaction
Explanation:
The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.
In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.
Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?
Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.
Answer:
By using any one technique like boiling, distillation, condensation ,etc , one can be used to distinguish between a pure substance and a homogeneous mixture.
Explanation:
If the liquid is a pure substance, then it can not be separated by using physical means because all atoms of a pure substance show same properties.
But on the other hand, if there is homogeneous mixture, it can be separated by using techniques like boiling, distillation, condensation ,etc.
<u>Thus, using any of the one method listed above can be used to distinguish between a pure substance and a homogeneous mixture.</u>
Explanation:
1. The three factors are;
- Increasing the surface area of the reactants
- Using a catalyst
- Increasing temperature
2. Raising the temperature of a reaction mixture is the same as increasing the kinetic energy of the reacting molecules.
3. This reaction is an exothermic reaction. In exothermic reaction, the temperature of the system (mixture) decreases while that of the surroundings increases.
4. Reactions that releases energy to the surroundings are exothermic reactions.
5. All the options is an example of exothermic process because heat is being removed from the system except;
B. Evaporation of water - This is because it must absorb heat from the surroundings making it endothermic.
