Outside wooden steps may get slippery when they are wet. How could you make them less<br> slippery?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

By adding a surface that increases friction? Such as outdoor mats(rough ones), which increases friction between the bottom of the boots and the surface.

If acetic acid is the only acid that vinegar contains (ka=1.8×10−5), calculate the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

kicyunya [14]

Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.

$CH_{3}COOH \ \textless \ ---\ \textgreater \ H^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)

pH = 2.88 ==> $[H^{+}]$ = $10^{-2.88}$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

The change in Concentration Δ $[CH_{3}COOH]$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

  CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial   $moldm^{-3}$      $x$ 0 0

Change $moldm^{-3}$ -0.001 +0.001 +0.001

Equilibrium $moldm^{-3}$ $x$ - 0.001 0.001 0.001


Since the $k_{a}$ value is so small, the assumption
$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}$ can be made.

$k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}$

Solve for x to get the required concentration.

note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.

2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind

Hope this helps!

The value of ka for nitrous acid (hno2) at 25 ∘c is 4.5×10−4. what is the value of δg at 25 ∘c when [h+] = 5.9×10−2m , [no2-] =

LuckyWell [14K]

To get the value of ΔG we need to get first the value of ΔG°:

when ΔG° = - R*T*㏑K

when R is constant in KJ = 0.00831 KJ

T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25+273 = 298 K

and K is the equilibrium constant = 4.5 x 10^-4

so by substitution:

∴ ΔG° = - 0.00831 * 298 K * ㏑4.5 x 10^-4

= -19 KJ

then, we can now get the value of ΔG when:

ΔG = ΔG° - RT*㏑[HNO2]/[H+][NO2]

when ΔG° = -19 KJ

and R is constant in KJ = 0.00831

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K

and [HNO2] = 0.21 m & [H+] = 5.9 x 10^-2 & [NO2-] = 6.3 x 10^-4 m

so, by substitution:

ΔG = -19 KJ - 0.00831 * 298K* ㏑(0.21/5.9x10^-2*6.3 x10^-4 )

= -40

How would you describe the strength of the bonds that result from resonance in SO3?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

All bonds are equivalent in length and strength within the molecule.

Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule that exhibit a D3h symmetry group.

Sulfur has sp2 hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen.

Its constituent sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and a formal charge of 0.

The Lewis structure is made up of one S=O double bond and two S–O dative bonds that doesn't not engage the d-orbitals. ( Thus, SO3 molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom). This explains the strength.

It gaseous form had a zero electrical dipole moment because of the 120° angle between the S-O bonds.
