Answer:

The equilibrium law

Explanation:

According to the equilibrium law , when $\text{concentration}$ of any of the  reactants or the products in the reaction at an equilibrium state,  is changed, then it changes the composition of equilibrium mixture in order to minimize the effect of

Acetic acid (in excess) + $\text{alcohol}$ ⇄  $\text{ester}$ + water

$\text{Fischer esterification}$ is a reaction which involves the equilibrium. So to force the reaction towards the side of $\text{ester}$, one of the reactant is taken in excess. All this can be explained easily by applying the equilibrium law.

Trial 12 1.Volume of Acid used ( mL) 2020 2.Molarity of acid used (M) 0.0160.016 3.Initial volume reading of base buret 018.6 4.
arsen [322]

Answer:

V_B = 18.3mL -- Volume of base used

M_B = 0.0175M --- Molarity of base

Explanation:

Given

V_A = 20mL -- Volume of acid used

V_B_1 = 18.6mL --- Buret Initial reading

V_B_2 = 36.9mL --- Buret Final reading

M_A = 0.016M --- Molarity of the acid

Solving (a): Volume of base used (VB)

This is calculated by subtracting the initial reading from the final reading of the base buret.

i.e.

V_B = V_B_2 - V_B_1

V_B = 36.9mL - 18.6mL

V_B = 18.3mL

Solving (b): Molarity base (MB)

This is calculated using:

M_A * V_A = M_B * V_B

Make MB the subject

M_B = \frac{M_A * V_A }{V_B}

This gives:

M_B = \frac{0.016M *20mL}{18.3mL}

M_B = \frac{0.016M *20}{18.3}

M_B = \frac{0.32M}{18.3}

M_B = 0.0175M

Solving (c): <em>There is no such thing as average molarity</em>

What happens when a candle stops burning after putting a glass jar over them
stira [4]

Answer:

The candle ran out of oxygen

Explanation:

There is a concept known as the fire triangle, the three things present for a fire to start and burn. Heat, Oxygen, Fuel. Take any one of the three away and the fire goes out. Pour water on a fire, and it absorbs the heat, put a jar over it, it removes the oxygen, stop adding wood to a campfire it goes out.

Be sure to answer all parts. A 0.365−mol sample of HX is dissolved in enough H2O to form 835.0 mL of solution. If the pH of the
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The Ka is 9.11 *10^-8

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Moles of HX = 0.365

Volume of the solution = 835.0 mL = 0.835 L

pH of the solution = 3.70

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate molarity of HX

Molarity HX = moles HX / volume solution

Molarity HX = 0.365 mol / 0.835 L

Molarity HX = 0.437 M

<u />

<u>Step 3:</u> ICE-chart

[H+] = [H3O+] = 10^-3.70 = 1.995 *10^-4

Initial concentration of HX = 0.437 M

Initial concentration of X- and H3O+ = 0M

Since the mole ratio is 1:1; there will react x M

The concentration at the equilibrium is:

[HX] = (0.437 - x)M

[X-] = x M

[H3O+] = 1.995*10^-4 M

Since 0+x = 1.995*10^-4   ⇒ x=1.995*10^-4

[HX] = 0.437 - 1.995*10^-4 ≈ 0.437 M

[X-] = x = 1.995*10^-4 M

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Ka

Ka = [X-]*[H3O+] / [HX]

Ka = ((1.995*10^-4)²)/ 0.437

Ka = 9.11 *10^-8

The Ka is 9.11 *10^-8
