Consider a triprotic acid like phosphoric acid or citric acid. which expression correctly describes the relative magnitudes of t

he three ka equilibrium constants?

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
7 0
The triprotic acid like H₃PO₄ contains three protons H⁺ so it ionized through three steps, the acidity strength of first proton higher than second proton higher than third one so Ka1 > Ka2 > Ka3 But
For pKa which equals to -log Ka ... the higher the value of Ka, the smaller the value of pKa. so the correct answer will be:
pKa1 < pKa2 < pKa3

What gives bases their properties?
svp [43]
Bases are iconic compounds that produce negative hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.... Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.

Determine the concentration of a solution made by dissolving 1.40grams NaCL in enough water to make 30.0mL of solution.
KiRa [710]

Answer: 0.8M

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = ?

Mass of NaCl in grams = 1.40 g

For molar mass of NaCl, use the molar masses:

Sodium, Na = 23g;

Chlorine, Cl = 35.5g

NaCl = (23g + 35.5g)

= 58.5g/mol

Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 1.40g / 58.5g/mol

n = 0.024 mole

Now, given that:

Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = 0.024

Volume of NaCl solution (v) = 30.0mL

[Convert 30.0mL to liters

If 1000 mL = 1L

30.0mL = 30.0/1000 = 0.03L]

Concentration of NaCl solution (c) = ?

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

c = 0.024 mole / 0.03 L

c = 0.8 M (0.8M means concentration is in moles per litres)

Thus, the concentration of the solution is 0.8M

An acid and base will combine to form a new substance with new properties in a
garri49 [273]

Answer:

A salt

Explanation:

When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?
Yanka [14]
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.
