We want to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 0.58 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Reaction equation is as follows.

$Na_{2}SO_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, 1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{3}$ produces 2 moles of cations.

$[Na^{+}] = 2[Na_{2}SO_{3}] = 2 \times 0.58$

= 1.16 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}] = [Na_{2}SO_{3}]$ = 0.58 M

The sulphite anion will act as a base and react with $H_{2}O$ to form $HSO^{-}_{3}$ and $OH^{-}$ .

As, $K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{2}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{6.3 \times 10^{-8}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-7}$

According to the ICE table for the given reaction,

$SO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons HSO^{-}_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.58 0 0

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.58 - x x x

So,

$K_{b} = \frac{[HSO^{-}_{3}][OH^{-}]}{[SO^{2-}_{3}]}$

$1.59 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.58 - x}$

$x^{2} = 1.59 \times 10^{-7} \times (0.58 - x)$

x = 0.0003 M

So, x = $[HSO^{-}_{3}] = [OH^{-}]$ = 0.0003 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}]$ = 0.58 - 0.0003

= 0.579 M

Now, we will use $[HSO^{-}_{3}]$ = 0.0003 M

The reaction will be as follows.

$HSO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{2}SO_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.0003

Equilibrium: 0.0003 - x x x

$K_{b} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

$K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{1}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.4 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $7.14 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore, $7.14 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

As, x <<<< 0.0003. So, we can neglect x.

Therefore, $x^{2} = 7.14 \times 10^{-13} \times 0.0003$

= $0.00214 \times 10^{-13}$

x = $0.0146 \times 10^{-6}$

x = $[OH^{-}] = [H_{2}SO_{3}]$ = $1.46 \times 10^{-8}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{0.0003}$

= $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of spectator ion is $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M.

How much calcium hypochlorite (65% strength) is needed to make 200 L of 2% hypochlorite solution? (Assume that a 1% solution is

g100num [7]

To solve this we use the equation,

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

65 x V1 = 2 x 200 L

V1 = 6.15 L

Which produces wave particles that move and displace one another? A) a radio B) a guitar C) a light bulb D) a microwave oven

Semmy [17]

The answer is B. A guitar generally produces sound waves that propagate when the strings are strummed. The strings are displaced through the vibrations caused by contact of the hand and the guitar. You will also notice the vibrations by looking closely to the string. Wave particles continuously collide with each other to make a sustaining or prolonging sound.

Molecular polarity has a direct effect on the behavior of molecular compounds. The attractive forces between polar molecules are

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Stronger

Greater

Higher

Explanation:

Molecules are held together by intermolecular forces. These are forces that act between molecules in a particular state matter. Intermolecular forces depend on the nature of the molecule.

For polar molecules, the intermolecular forces are stronger thus it takes more energy to separate them leading to a higher boiling point of polar molecules irrespective of their molecular mass.

Which of the following are examples of electromagnetic waves?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light and do not require molecules (gas, solid or liquid) to vibrate and travel.

Soundwaves when singing or from thunder vibrate particles to reach our ears and are known as mechanical waves.
