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%

Calculate the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 46 g

Initial temperature = -25^{o}C

Final temperature = 100^{o}C

Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.05 J/g^{o}C

Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.

q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass

C = specific heat capacity

T_{1} = initial temperature

T_{2} = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 46 g \times 2.05 J/g^{o}C \times (100 - (-25))^{o}C\\= 11787.5 J (1 J = 0.001 kJ)\\= 11.787 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.
