Answer:

1.4 × 10^-4.

Explanation:

C3H6O3 + H2O <======> C3H5O3^- + H3O^+ ------------------------------------------(1).

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters or data which is going to help in solving this particular Question/problem;

=>concentration of the solution of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)C00H) = 0.1 M and pH = 2.44.

Therefore, the concentration of the hydrogen ion[H^+} can be determined from the pH formula given below;

pH = - log { H^+}.

2.44 = - log { H^+}.

Therefore, {H^+} = 0.0036 M.

From the equation (1) given above, we have that the ratio for the equilibrium reaction is 1 : 1 : 1 :1. Therefore, molarity of C3H5O3^- = 0.0036 M and the molarity of C3H6O3 =( 0.1 - 0.0036 M) = 0.0964 M at equilibrium.

Hence, ka = {C3H5O3^-} { H3O^+} /{C3H6O3} = ( 0.0036 M)^2 /(0.0964 M) = 1.4 × 10^-4.

What is the final temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the gas in the bubble outside the volcano if the final volume of the bubbl

lawyer [7]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A 127 mL bubble of hot gases at 213°C and 1.89 atm is emitted from an active volcano.

What is the final temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the gas in the bubble outside the volcano if the final volume of the bubble is 136 mL and the pressure is 0.850 atm , if the amount of gas does not change?

Answer: The temperature of the gas is -40°C

Explanation:

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

$P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

$P_1=1.89atm\\V_1=127mL\\T_1=213^oC=[213+273]K=484K\\P_2=0.850atm\\V_2=136mL\\T_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.89atm\times 127mL}{484K}=\frac{0.850atm\times 136mL}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{0.850\times 136\times 484}{1.89\times 127}=233K$

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

$T(K)=T(^oC)+273$

$233=T(^oC)+273\\\\T(^oC)=-40^oC$

Hence, the temperature of the gas is -40°C

Iron(III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide according to the equation: Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)→2Fe(s)+3CO2(g) A reaction mixture initial

Bad White [126]

Answer:

mass of excessive CO = 2.55 gram

Explanation:

Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)→2Fe(s)+3CO2(g)

moles of Fe2O3 = mass / formula mass = 22.00/(56x2+16x3)=0.1375 (mol)

moles of CO = mass / formula mass = 14.1/(16+12) = 0.503

Fe2O3 reacts completely meanwhile CO is excessive.

mass of CO reacts = 3 x nFe2O3 x M = 3 x 0.1375 x (16+12) = 11.55 gram

mass of excessive CO = initial mass - reacted mass = 14.1 - 11.55 = 2.55 gram

Differences between allotropy and isotopy

raketka [301]

Answer:

Property of an element by virtue of which it exists in two or more forms which differ only in their physical properties is known as allotropy. Allotropes are the different physical forms in which the element can exist. Allotropes are different physical forms of the same element.

Also-

Allotropes are different forms of the same element in the molecular level. Isotopes are different forms of atoms of the same chemical element. The key difference between allotropes and isotopes is that allotropes are considered at the molecular level, whereas isotopes are considered at the atomic leve

What is the atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons?

DedPeter [7]

The atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons is 13

Explanation:

Remember that whilst the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, the mass number represents the summation of protons and neutrons particles in the atomic nuclei. Therefore, in this case, the carbon will have a mass number of;

6 + 7 = 13

Isotopes of an element usually have the same atomic number but different mass numbers -because they have slightly different numbers of neutrons. An example is isotopes of Carbon; C-14 and C-12

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.39

Explanation:

[Hg2Cl2]= 1M

[H^+] = ????

E°cell= 0.35V

E= 0.268 V

Therefore E for the reaction must -0.082 V

n= 2 moles of electrons

From Nernst Equation:

E= E°cell- 0.0592/n log [Red]/[Ox]

0.0268= 0.35- 0.0592/2 log 1/[Ox]^2

-0.082= -0.0296 log 1/[Ox]^2

log 1/[Ox]^2= 0.082/0.0296

log 1/[Ox]^2= 2.77

1/[Ox]^2=Antilog (2.77)

[Ox]^2=1.698×10^-3

[Ox] = 0.0412 M

But pH= -log [H^+]= -log(0.0412)= 1.385
