4.48
pH=pKa+log([A-/HA])

25% deprotonated tells us that A- is .25 and that the rest (75% is protonated) thats .75.

4 = pKa + log\frac{.25}{.75}
4 - log\frac{.25}{.75} = pKa
4.48=pKa

Answer:

pKa = 4.5

Explanation:

The weak acid can be represented by the general formula, HA and the dissociation equilibrium given as:

HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+}+A^{-}

where HA = protonated form

A- = deprotonated form

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a solution to the ratio of the concentrations of HA and A- as;

pH = pKa + log\frac{[A-]]}{[HA]]}-----(1)

It is given that:

% deprotonated i.e. A- = 25%

Therefore, %protonated i.e. HA = 100 -25 = 75%

pH = 4

Based on equation (1)

4 = pKa + log\frac{[25]]}{[75]]} = pKa-0.477

pKa = 4.477 i.e. around 4.5

The reaction is found to be first order in IO3−, first order in SO32−, and first order in H+. If [IO3−]=x, [SO32−]=y, and [H+]=z
ollegr [7]

Answer:

rate = kxyz

Explanation:

It is worth knowing that the rate low can only be determined by experimentation only not by just balancing equations. So here we are told that all the reactants x , y and z are all first order. This is important because we use this as exponents. That is why the exponents of all the reactants will be 1.

rate = kxyz

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us recall that the basic rule in writing balanced chemical reaction equations is that the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is the same of the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.

The reaction of red hot iron and steam is written as follows;

3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2.

The decomposition reaction of ammonium dichromate is written as;

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → N2 + Cr2O3 + 4H2O

Reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is as follows,

2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O ----> 2NaAlO2 + 3H2

Reaction of potassium bicarbonate with sulphuric acid;

2KHCO3 + H2SO4 -------> K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Reaction of zinc and sodium hydroxide is as follows;

Zn + 2NaOH→Na2ZnO2 + H2

Should diesel and gasoline engines compliant with co2 emission standards be banned?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

No, since they are reducing the carbon dioxide emissions.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that some brand new engines working with diesel and gasoline are able to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide as the combustion product via special catalysis or adsorption. This means that less of this greenhouse effect gas is released to environment by using such engines which are, in such a way, helping the environment in the light of its conservation. Therefore, diesel and gasoline engines should not be banned as they contributing to the earth's care and health.

Regards.
