Why do solids not diffuse​
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

This is because of diffusion , the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. ... This means that diffusion does not happen in solids – the particles in a solid can only vibrate and cannot move from place to place.

What's the balanced chemical equation of magnesium reacting with silver nitrate to produce silver and magnesium nitrate?
Strike441 [17]

The balanced equation is Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Step 1. Write the <em>unbalanced equation </em>

Mg + AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag

Step 2. Start with the<em> most complicated-looking formula</em> [Mg(NO₃)₂] and balance its atoms.

Mg: Already balanced —1 atom each side.

N: We need 2 N on the left. Put a 2 in front of AgNO₃.

1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag

O: Already balanced —6 atom6 each side.

Step 3: Balance <em>Ag</em>

We have 2Ag on the left. We need 2Ag on the right.

1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 720 mmHg
V1 = 450. mL
P2 = 760 mmHg (this is the pressure at STP)

Use these to solve for V2:
(720)(450) = 760V2

V2 = 426 mL

What is the % dissociation of a solution of acetic acid if at equilibrium the solution has a pH = 4.74 and a pKa = 4.74?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

\% diss = 50\%

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, when considering weak acids which have an associated percent dissociation, we first need to set up the ionization reaction and the equilibrium expression:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-\\\\Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

Now, by introducing x as the reaction extent which also represents the concentration of both H+ and A-, we have:

Ka=\frac{x^2}{[HA]_0-x} =10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}

Thus, it is possible to find x given the pH as shown below:

x=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}M

So that we can calculate the initial concentration of the acid:

\frac{(1.82x10^{-5})^2}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1.82x10^{-5}\\\\\frac{1.82x10^{-5}}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1\\\\

[HA]_0=3.64x10^{-5}M

Therefore, the percent dissociation turns out to be:

\% diss=\frac{x}{[HA]_0}*100\% \\\\\% diss=\frac{1.82x10^{-5}M}{3.64x10^{-5}M}*100\% \\\\\% diss = 50\%

Best regards!
