Answer:

The 13.76% of propionic acid is in the dissociated form in the solution

Explanation:

Concentration of propionic acid = c = 0.61mM = 0.61\times 10^{-3}M

mM=10^{-3}M

Degree of dissociation = α

C2H5CO2H\rightleftharpoons C2H5COO^-+H^+

At initial

c                             0   0

At equilibrium

c - cα                     cα   cα

The value of dissociation constant of propionic acid = K_a=1.34\times 10^{-5}

The expression of dissociation constant of propionic acid is given by :

K_a=\frac{c\times alpha c\times \alpha}{c(1-\alpha )}

K_a=\frac{c\alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha )}

1.34\times 10^{-5}=\frac{0.61\times 10^{-3}M\times \alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha )}

Solving the equation for \alpha:

\alpha =0.1376

\alpha=\frac{0.1376}{1}\times 100=13.76\%

The 13.76% of propionic acid is in the dissociated form in the solution

How many atoms are present in 0.0845 moles of tungsten?
klasskru [66]
1 mole tungsten ------------- 6.02 x 10²³ atoms
0.0845 moles ---------------- ( atoms tungsten )

atoms tungsten = 0.0845 x ( 6.02 x 10²³) / 1

atoms tungsten = 5.08 x 10²² / 1

= 5.08 x 10²² atoms of tungsten

hope this helps!

What is the molarity of a solution made from dissolving 3.0 moles of NaCl in 250 mL of solution?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Molarity = 12 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Molarity of solution = ?

Number of moles of NaCl = 3.0 mol

Volume of solution = 250 mL (250/1000 = 0.25 L)

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Molarity = 3.0 mol / 0.25 L

Molarity = 12 M
