Answer:

For part (a): pHsol=2.22

Explanation:

I will show you how to solve part (a), so that you can use this example to solve part (b) on your own.

So, you're dealing with formic acid, HCOOH, a weak acid that does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution. This means that an equilibrium will be established between the unionized and ionized forms of the acid.

You can use an ICE table and the initial concentration ofthe acid to determine the concentrations of the conjugate base and of the hydronium ions tha are produced when the acid ionizes

HCOOH(aq]+H2O(l]⇌ HCOO−(aq] + H3O+(aq]

I 0.20 0 0

C (−x) (+x) (+x)

E (0.20−x) x x

You need to use the acid's pKa to determine its acid dissociation constant, Ka, which is equal to

A solution contains 0.0440 M Ca2 and 0.0940 M Ag. If solid Na3PO4 is added to this mixture, which of the phosphate species would
Olenka [21]

Answer:

C. Ca_3(PO_4)_2  will precipitate out first

the percentage of Ca^{2+}remaining =  12.86%

Explanation:

Given that:

A solution contains:

[Ca^{2+}] = 0.0440 \ M

[Ag^+] = 0.0940 \ M

From the list of options , Let find the dissociation of Ag_3PO_4

Ag_3PO_4 \to Ag^{3+} + PO_4^{3-}

where;

Solubility product constant Ksp of Ag_3PO_4 is 8.89 \times 10^{-17}

Thus;

Ksp = [Ag^+]^3[PO_4^{3-}]

replacing the known values in order to determine the unknown ; we have :

8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}  = (0.0940)^3[PO_4^{3-}]

\dfrac{8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}}{(0.0940)^3}  = [PO_4^{3-}]

[PO_4^{3-}] =\dfrac{8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}}{(0.0940)^3}

[PO_4^{3-}] =1.07 \times 10^{-13}

The dissociation  of Ca_3(PO_4)_2

The solubility product constant of Ca_3(PO_4)_2  is 2.07 \times 10^{-32}

The dissociation of Ca_3(PO_4)_2   is :

Ca_3(PO_4)_2 \to 3Ca^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}

Thus;

Ksp = [Ca^{2+}]^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2

2.07 \times 10^{-33} = (0.0440)^3  [PO_4^{3-}]^2

\dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(0.0440)^3}=   [PO_4^{3-}]^2

[PO_4^{3-}]^2 = \dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(0.0440)^3}

[PO_4^{3-}]^2 = 2.43 \times 10^{-29}

[PO_4^{3-}] = \sqrt{2.43 \times 10^{-29}

[PO_4^{3-}] =4.93 \times 10^{-15}

Thus; the phosphate anion needed for precipitation is smaller i.e 4.93 \times 10^{-15} in Ca_3(PO_4)_2 than  in  Ag_3PO_4  1.07 \times 10^{-13}

Therefore:

Ca_3(PO_4)_2  will precipitate out first

To determine the concentration of [Ca^+] when  the second cation starts to precipitate ; we have :

Ksp = [Ca^{2+}]^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2

2.07 \times 10^{-33}  = [Ca^{2+}]^3 (1.07 \times 10^{-13})^2

[Ca^{2+}]^3 =  \dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(1.07 \times 10^{-13})^2}

[Ca^{2+}]^3 =1.808 \times 10^{-7}

[Ca^{2+}] =\sqrt[3]{1.808 \times 10^{-7}}

[Ca^{2+}] =0.00566

This implies that when the second  cation starts to precipitate ; the  concentration of [Ca^{2+}] in the solution is  0.00566

Therefore;

the percentage of Ca^{2+}  remaining = concentration remaining/initial concentration × 100%

the percentage of Ca^{2+} remaining = 0.00566/0.0440  × 100%

the percentage of Ca^{2+} remaining = 0.1286 × 100%

the percentage of Ca^{2+}remaining =  12.86%

∆G° for the process benzene (l) benzene (g) is 3.7 Kj/mol at 60 °C , calculate the vapor pressure of benzene at 60 °C [R=0.0821
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

4) 0.26 atm

Explanation:

In the process:

Benzene(l) → Benzene(g)

ΔG° for this process is:

ΔG° = -RT ln Q

<em>Where Q = P(Benzene(g)) / P°benzene(l) P° = 1atm</em>

ΔG° = 3700J/mol = -8.314J/molK * (60°C + 273.15) ln P(benzene) / 1atm

1.336 = ln P(benzene) / 1atm

0.26atm = P(benzene)

Right answer is:

<h3>4) 0.26 atm </h3><h3 />

Do you think it matters if you
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

yes I do think they mean the same thing

Explanation:

150 grams and 150 grams is the same thing and adding 0 to the end of a decimal does not change its value, you could even put 150.0000000 grams and it would still be equivalent to the other numbers
