How do living organisms use nitrogen

Ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6; H2Asc for this problem), known as vitamin C, is a diprotic acid (Ka1= 1.0x10–5 and Ka2= 5x10–12) found

Igoryamba

Answer:

The concentrations are :

$[HAsc^-]=0.000702 M$

$[Asc^{2-}]=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

The pH of the solution is 3.15.

Explanation:

$H_2Asc\rightleftharpoons HAs^-+H^+$ $K_{a1}=1.0\times 10^{-5}$

Initial

c 0 0

Equilibrium

c-x x x

$K_{a1}=\frac{[HAs^-][H^+]}{[H_2Asc]}$

$1.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$1.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{(0.050-x)}$

Solving for x:

x = 0.000702 M

$[HAsc^-]=0.000702 M$

$HAsc^-\rightleftharpoons As^{2-}+H^+$ $K_{a2}=5\times 10^{-12}$

Initially

x 0 0

At equilibrium ;

(x - y) y y

$K_{a2}=\frac{[As^{2-}][H^+]}{[HAsc^-]}$

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y\times y}{(x-y)}$

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y^2}{(x-y)}$

Putting value of x = 0.000702 M

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y^2}{(0.000702 -y)}$

$y=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

$[Asc^{2-}]=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

Total concentration of $[H^+]=x+y=0.000702 M+5.92\times 10^{-8} M=7.0206\times 10^{-4} M$

The pH of the solution :

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$pH=-\log[7.0206\times 10^{-4} M}=3.15$

which atomic particle determines the chemical behavior of an atom the nucleus, neutron, electron, proton or none of these

dusya [7]

The chemical behavior of an atoms is determine by the formation or destruction of chemical bonds. The chemical bonds are the result of the interaction of the electrons of the atoms. Chemical properties of the atoms are given by how attached are the shell electrons attached to the nucleus and how they interact with other atoms. Chemical changes are the result of exchange valence electrons of the atoms. So, the answer is the atomic particle that determines the chemical behavior of an atom is the electron, because it is the particle that is active in chemical bonding.

Based on the equation, how many grams of Br2 are required to react completely with 36.2 grams of AlCl3?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

65.08 g.

Explanation:

For the reaction, the balanced equation is:

2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂,

2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with 3.0 mole of Br₂ to produce 2.0 mole of AlBr₃ and 3.0 mole of Cl₂.

Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 36.2 grams of AlCl₃:

n = mass/molar mass = (36.2 g)/(133.34 g/mol) = 0.2715 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with → 3.0 mole of Br₂, from the stichiometry.

0.2715 mol of AlCl₃ reacts with → ??? mole of Br₂.

∴ The no. of moles of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = (0.2715 mol)(3.0 mole)/(2.0 mole) = 0.4072 mol.

∴ The mass of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = no. of moles of Br₂ x molar mass = (0.4072 mol)(159.808 g/mol ) = 65.08 g.

Consider this equilibrium reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, occurring in a sealed flexible container. CO(g) + 3

wariber [46]

Answer:

More H2(g) is added to the container : Towards products.

CO is removed from the container : Towards reactants.

More CH4(g) is added to the container : Towards reactants

H2O(g) is removed from the container : Towards products.

The contents of the container are heated up. : Towards the reactants.

The contents of the container are cooled down : Towards the products.

The pressure inside the container is increased. :Towards the products

The container is stretched to increase the volume: Towards the reactants.

Explanation: :

CO(g) + 3 H2g) → CH4(g) + H2O(g)+ heat

There is released heat, so this reaction is exothermic

If the H2 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase. Towards products.

If the CO is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards reactants.

If the CH4 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase. Towards reactants

If the H2O is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards products.

If the temperature is increased, the system will reduce the amount of heat released. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants.

This because the extra heat / energy must be used.

If the temperature is decreased, the system will produce more heat So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products.

This because more heat /energy needs to be produced to make up for the loss of heat (energy).

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products. An increase of pressure has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the volume.

If the volume is increased, this means the pressure is decreased, the system will shift to the side with most moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants. An increase of volume has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the pressure.

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at

WITCHER [35]

Answer: The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Explanation:

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$
