Why is the average number of fish species not a whole number?

Chemistry

Paraphin [41]2 years ago

Answer:

Because in order to find the average, you need to divide by the number of sites tested. Sometimes that doesn't divide evenly.

Determine the [OH−] of a solution that is 0.115 M in CO32−. For carbonic acid (H2CO3), Ka1=4.3×10−7 and Ka2=5.6×10−11.
lianna [129]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

Explanation:

Assuming the source of the carbonate ion is from a Group IA carbonate salt (e.g.; Na₂CO₃), then 0.115M Na₂CO₃(aq) => 2(0.115)M Na⁺(aq) + 0.115M CO₃²⁻(aq). The 0.115M CO₃²⁻ then reacts with water to give 0.115M carbonic acid; H₂CO₃(aq) in equilibrium with H⁺(aq) and HCO₃⁻(aq) as the 1st ionization step.

Analysis:

            H₂CO₃(aq)     ⇄     H⁺(aq)    +    HCO₃⁻(aq); Ka(1) = 4.3 x 10⁻⁷

C(i)          0.115M                      0                  0

ΔC              -x                        +x                  +x

C(eq)    0.115M - x                   x                    x

            ≅ 0.115M

Ka(1) = [H⁺(aq)][HCO₃⁻(aq)]/[H₂CO₃(aq)] = [(x)(x)/(0.115)]M = [x²/0.115]M

= 4.3 x 10⁻⁷  => x = [H⁺(aq)]₁ = SqrRt(4.3 x 10⁻⁷ · 0.115)M = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ions.

In general, it is assumed that all of the hydronium ion comes from the 1st ionization step as adding 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁷ would be an insignificant change in H⁺ ion concentration. Therefore, using 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ion  concentration, the hydroxide ion concentration is then calculated from

[H⁺][OH⁻] = Kw => [OH⁻] = (1 x 10⁻¹⁴/2.32 x 10⁻⁴)M = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

________________________________________________________

NOTE: The 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M  value for [H⁺] is reasonable for carbonic acid solution with pH ≅ 3.5 - 4.0.

Which element is reduced in this reaction? cr2o72−+3hno2+5h+→2cr3++3no3−+4h2o enter the chemical symbol of the element?
Ksju [112]
<span>A reducing agent loses electrons, so on the left side of the equation N in HNO2 has an oxidation number of +3 and on the right side in NO3^- it has an oxidation number of +5, so it has lost electrons. Thus, the reducing agent would be HNO2.</span>

What is an anyhdride?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Anhydride, any chemical compound obtained, either in practice or in principle, by the elimination of water from another compound. Examples of inorganic anhydrides are sulfur trioxide, SO3, which is derived from sulfuric acid, and calcium oxide, CaO, derived from calcium hydroxide

Explanation:

<h3><em><u>examples</u></em><em><u>.</u></em></h3>

1)acid anhydride.

2)basic anhydrides.

<h3><em><u>reactions</u></em><em><u>. </u></em></h3>

1)reaction with water

(CH3CO)2O + H2O → 2 CH3CO2H.
