Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵

Then;

C₄H₈O₂               -------->            C₄H₇O₂⁻          +           H⁺

I                    0.54x10⁻³                             0                                0

E                   0.54x10⁻³(1-x)                      0.54x10⁻³x                0.54x10⁻³x

Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation

From the ICE table;

Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]

1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)  

1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x

1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

Hence;

0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0

x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation here;

x = 0.154 or −0.182

Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154

Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%

CS2 + 3O2 = CO2 + 2SO2

1 mole of CS2 gives 1 mole of CO2

12 + 2(32) = 76g of CS2  yields 44 g of CO2

Theoretically 1 g of CS2 yields 44/76 g CO2

Therefore 50 g CS2 should yield    50*44 / 76 = 28.95 g

So % yield = 103.6 %  ( which is not possible  because you can't create matter from nothing).

The 30g cannot be right . This is experimental err.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to the changes in potential and kinetic energy of a pencil as it falls to the f
antiseptic1488 [7]

The changes in the energy law of conservation of energy is Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

Law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just transformed from one form to another.

The energies are kinetic, potential, mechanical, gravitational, electrical, etc.

Thus, the changes in the energy law of conservation of energy is Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.
