Answer:

A cation has more protons than electrons, consequently giving it a net positive charge.

Answer:

A cation has more protons than electrons, making it a net positive charge as a result. One or two electrons must be lost in order for a cation to form, normally dragged away by atoms with a greater affinity for them The battery pumps electrons away from the anode and into the cathode . The positive anode draws anions to it while the adverse cathode draws cations to it.

Hope this helps!

The activation energy for a given reaction is 56 kj/mol. at what temperature would the rate constant be quadruple what is was at
Alex787 [66]

The rate equation is given as:

k = A e^(- Ea / RT)

 

Dividing state 1 and state 2:

k1/k2 = e^(- Ea / RT1) / e^(- Ea / RT2)

k1/k2 = e^[- Ea / RT1 - (- Ea / RT2)]

k1/k2 = e^[- Ea / RT1 + Ea / RT2)]

 

Taking the ln of both sides:

ln (k1/k2) = - Ea / RT1 + Ea / RT2

ln (k1/k2) = - Ea / R (1/T1 - 1/T2)

 

Since k2 = 4k1, therefore k1/k2 = ¼

 

ln (1/4) = [- (56,000 J/mol) / (8.314 J / mol K)] (1/273 K – 1/ T2)

2.058 x 10^-4 = 1/273 – 1/T2

T2 = 289.25 K

A 40.27 g sample of a substance is initially at 24.8 °c. after absorbing 2099 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 148
Darina [25.2K]
Q = mCΔT
Q is heat in joules, m is mass, C is specific heat, and delta T is change in temp

2099 J = (40.27g)(C)(148.5 - 24.8) = .421 J / gram K

14. What is the pH of a 0.24 M solution of sodium propionate, NaC3H502, at 25°C? (For
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.1

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the basic dissociation constant of propionate ion (Kb)

Sodium propionate is a strong electrolyte that dissociates according to the following equation.

NaC₃H₅O₂ ⇒ Na⁺ + C₃H₅O₂⁻

Propionate is the conjugate base of propionic acid according to the following equation.

C₃H₅O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₃H₅O₂ + OH⁻

We can calculate Kb for propionate using the following expression.

Ka × Kb = Kw

Kb = Kw/Ka = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴/1.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 7.7 × 10⁻¹⁰

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻

The concentration of the base (Cb) is 0.24 M. We can calculate [OH⁻] using the following expression.

[OH⁻] = √(Kb × Cb) = √(7.7 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 0.24) = 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ M

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

Kw = [H⁺] × [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = Kw/[OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴/1.4 × 10⁻⁵ = 7.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Step 4: Calculate the pH of the solution

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 7.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.1
