Answer:
Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶
Explanation:
A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:
HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)
<em>Where Ka is:</em>
Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]
<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie.
</em>
The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:
[HX] = 1.64M - X
[H⁺] = X
[X⁻] = X
As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:
[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:
[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M
[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M
[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M
And Ka is:
Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]
<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>
Electrons in an atom are found on different electron shells depending on how much energy they possess, and they determine how atoms will interact with each other. The outermost electron shell holds the valance electrons.
