Hey! I was wondering how to get the solution to this question!

Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction

HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

The pH of the solution is 2.78.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M

Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵

If you had 15 moles of Oxygen (O2), how many moles of water (H2O) would you be able to make?
larisa [96]

Answer:

30 moles of water will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ react = 15 mol

Number of moles of water formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂      →     2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen.

                  O₂           :          H₂O

                   1             :            2

                   15           :           2×15 = 30 mol

30 moles of water will produced.

Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?
Goryan [66]

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

A jar is filled with water, and the lid is closed tightly. The jar is kept at constant temperature. What happens at the surface
nata0808 [166]
If there is a close container with some water, the following procedures take place.
Initially, the system contains only liquid, and air above it. As evaporation starts (the rate of evaporation is constant for the specific temperature of the water), the molecules from the surface of the liquid escape into vapour state, in the confined space above. Therefore, the level of liquid falls.
Then starts the process of condensation. This is the conversion of vapour into liquid. Initially, escaped molecules (from liquid state) move randomly in all directions and collide with one another. As more and more molecules enter the confined space, some slow-moving molecules are pushed back. They collide with the surface of the liquid to reconvert into liquid.
In the initial stages, the rate of evaporation (constant) is more than the rate of condensation because only small number of molecules are present in the gaseous state. The rate of condensation thereafter gradually increases as the number of molecules in the gaseous phase increases. Finally, a stage is reached when the rate of the two opposing processes is the same.
The state where the rate of evaporation becomes equal to the rate of condensation is called a state of dynamic equilibrium. In such a state, although the amount of liquid level in the container does not change, evaporation has not stopped and the system is not at rest. In fact, the number of molecules, which escape from the liquid to the gaseous phase (due to evaporation), becomes equal to the number of vapour molecules that return to the liquid
