Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43

Answer:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + Al(OH)₃ → Al(NO₃)₃ + H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + Al(OH)₃ → Al(NO₃)₃ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

3HNO₃ + Al(OH)₃ → Al(NO₃)₃ + 3H₂O

Ionic equation:

3H⁺ + 3NO⁻₃(aq) + Al(OH)₃(s) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3NO₃⁻¹(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Net ionic equation:

Al(OH)₃(s) + 3H⁺(aq) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

The NO⁻₃ are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

Heating carvone with aqueous sulfuric acid converts it into carvacrol. The mechanism involves the following steps:

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

In this question, we have to start with the protonation of the double bond. In carvone we have two double bonds, so, we have to decide first which one would be protonated.

The problem states that the terminal alkene is the one that would is protonated. Therefore, we have to do the protonation in the double bond at the bottom to produce the carbocation number 1. Then, a hydride shift takes place to produce the carbocation number 2. A continuation, an elimination reaction takes place to produce the conjugated diene. Then the diene is protonated at the carbonyl group and with an elimination reaction of an hydrogen in the alpha carbon we can obtain carvacol.

A sample of TNT, C7H5N3O6 , has 8.94 × 1021 nitrogen atoms. How many hydrogen atoms are there in this sample of TNT?

Bess [88]

Answer:

1.49×10²² atoms of H are contained in the sample

Explanation:

TNT → C₇H₅N₃O₆

1 mol of this has 7 moles of C, 5 moles of H, 3 moles of N and 6 moles of O

Let's determine the mass of TNT.

Molar mass is = 227 g/mol

As 1 mol has (6.02×10²³) NA atoms, how many moles are 8.94×10²¹ atoms.

8.94×10²¹ atoms / NA = 0.0148 moles

So this would be the rule of three to determine the mass of TNT

3 moles of N are in 227 g of compound

0.0148 moles of N are contained in (0.0148 .227) / 3 = 1.12 g

Now we can work with the hydrogen.

227 grams of TNT contain 5 moles of H

1.12 grams of TNT would contain (1.12 .5) / 227 = 0.0247 moles

Finally let's convert this moles to atoms:

0.0247 mol . 6.02×10²³ atoms / 1 mol = 1.49×10²² atoms
