Which of the following would increase the surface area of a solid so that it dissolves faster?

1 answer:

4 0

Increasing the surface area increases the rate of solubility of a solid because a larger number of molecules of the greater surface area have contact with the solvent

A weak monoprotic acid is titrated with 0.100 MNaOH. It requires 50.0 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. Af

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

$HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$

Hence, number of moles of NaOH are as follows.

n = $0.05 L \times 0.1 M$

= 0.005 mol

After the addition of 25 ml of base, the pH of a solution is 3.62. Hence, moles of NaOH is 25 ml base are as follows.

n = $0.025 L \times 0.1 M$

= 0.0025 mol

According to ICE table,

$HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$

Initial: 0.005 mol 0.0025 mol 0 0

Change: -0.0025 mol -0.0025 mol +0.0025 mol

Equibm: 0.0025 mol 0 0.0025 mol

Hence, concentrations of HA and NaA are calculated as follows.

[HA] = $\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}$

[NaA] = $\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}$

$[A^{-}] = [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}$

Now, we will calculate the $pK_{a}$ value as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{A^{-}}{HA}$

$pK_{a} = pH - log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

= $3.42 - log \frac{\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}}{\frac{0.0025}{V}}$

= 3.42

Thus, we can conclude that $pK_{a}$ of the weak acid is 3.42.

Why does ice float after it crystallizes? Its mass is greater than water. Its density is greater than water. Its density is less

tekilochka [14]

Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.

When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.
