Answer: The percent ionization is higher for 0.010 M solution of HC_2H_3O_2

Explanation:

HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-

 cM           0M           0M

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

a) Given c= 0.10 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Putting in the values we get:

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.10\times \alpha)^2}{(0.10-0.10\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.013

\%(\alpha)=0.013\times 100=1.3\%

b) Given c= 0.010 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Putting in the values we get:

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.010\times \alpha)^2}{(0.010-0.010\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.041

\%(\alpha)=0.041\times 100=4.1\%

The percent ionization is higher for 0.010 M solution of HC_2H_3O_2

Ierofanga [76]
FeSO₄*7H₂O(s) = FeSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=278.0 g/mol
M(FeSO₄)=151.9 g/mol

m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=m(FeSO₄)/M(FeSO₄)

m(FeSO₄)=M(FeSO₄)m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)

m(FeSO₄)=151.9*100.0/278.0=54.6 g

m(FeSO₄)=54.6 g

What is the wavelength of a sound wave moving at 340 m/s with a frequency of 256 Hz?
777dan777 [17]
The  wavelength  of  a sound  wave  moving  at 340  m/s  and   with  a frequency of  256  Hz   is  calculated using the  the below  formula

wavelength =  speed  of the  wave/frequency

speed  of  the  wave = 340 m/s
frequency = 256 Hz

wavelength  is therefore =  340/256 =  1.32 m

A diprotic acid, H₂A, has Ka1 = 3.4 × 10⁻⁴ and Ka2 = 6.7 × 10⁻⁹. What is the pH of a 0.18 M solution of H₂A?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

pH = 2.10

Explanation:

We name an acid as diprotic because it can release two protons:

H₂A  +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺   + HA⁻     Ka₁

HA⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺   + A⁻²      Ka₂

We propose the mass balance:

Analytical concentration = [H₂A] +  [HA⁻]  + [A⁻²]

As Ka₂ is so small, we avoid the [A⁻²] so:

0.18 M = [H₂A] +  [HA⁻]

But we can not avoid the HA⁻, because the Ka₁. Ka₁'s expression is:

Ka₁ = [H₃O⁺] . [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

We propose the charge balance:

[H₃O⁺] = [HA⁻] + [A⁻²] + [OH⁻]

As we did not consider the A⁻², we can miss the term and if

Kw = H⁺ . OH⁻

We replace Kw/H⁺ = OH⁻. So the new equation is:

[H₃O⁺] = [HA⁻] + Kw / [H₃O⁺]

The acid is so concentrated, so we can avoid the term with the Kw, so:

[H₃O⁺] = [HA⁻]

In the mass balance we would have:

0.18 M = [H₂A]

We replace at Ka₁

Ka₁ = [H₃O⁺] . [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

Ka1 . 0.18 / [H₃O⁺] = [HA⁻]

We replace at the charge balance:

[H₃O⁺] = Ka1 . 0.18 / [H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺]² = 3.4×10⁻⁴  . 0.18

[H₃O⁺] = √(3.4×10⁻⁴  . 0.18)

[H₃O⁺] = 7.82×10⁻³

- log [H₃O⁺] = pH → - log 7.82×10⁻³

pH = 2.10
