Answer:

B. Write the chemical equation using formulas and symbols.

D. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products,

Explanation:

When balancing chemical equation, it implies that the law of conservation of matter be strictly adhered to.

By so doing, the number of atoms on both sides of the reaction must be the same. Number of atoms in the products and reactants must have the same value.

It is always a good approach to first write the chemical equation of the reaction.
This will give an overview of the reacting species and the products being formed.
Then, go on to count the number atoms in the reactants and product sides of the expression.
Then balance it using any of the method of balancing chemical equations.

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th

Tpy6a [65]

$pH = 13.5$

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the acid dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the base dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :

$[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b = 10^{-pK_{b}}$

$x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}$

$x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}$

$[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}$

$pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5$

A person has a mass of 63.4kg. What is the weight in pounds?

Evgen [1.6K]

If a person weighs 63.4 KG they will weigh 139.773 but if you estimate it which in most cases you do it would be 139.8 :)

For an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) .Determine the molarity of 3.45L of a solution that contains 145g of sodium

worty [1.4K]

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

number of moles:

mass NaCl / molar mass

145 / 58.44 => 2.4811 moles of NaCl

Volume = 3.45 L

Therefore :

M = moles / volume in liters:

M = 2.4811 / 3.45

M = 0.719 mol/L⁻¹

Which statement best describes the whether shown by the purple combination of semicircles and triangles on a line on a weather m

iren2701 [21]

It seems that you have missed to attach the given map and options for us to answer this question, so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. The statement that best describes the whether shown by the purple combination of semicircles and triangles on a line on a weather map is a cold front can cause heavy rain, thunder, and lightning. Hope this helps.
