Answer:

  • pKa = 7.46

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO

b) [HClO} = 0.015

c) pH = 4.64

d) pKa = ?

<u>2) Strategy:</u>

With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.

<u>3) Solution:</u>

a) pH

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • 4.64 = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • [H_3O^+]= 10^{-4.64} = 2.29.10^{-5}

b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

c) Equilibrium constant: Ka =  [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]

d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M

e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M

f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46

Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.

Several billion years ago, which gas was the least prevalent in the atmosphere?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
The least prevalent gas in the atmosphere was oxygen several billion years ago. This is because it was only around 2.4-3 billion years ago when the first photosynthetic bacteria evolved, meaning they produce food from inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is then released in the atmosphere and this is called <em>The Great Oxygenation Event</em>.

When it comes to physical changes like phase changes, there are two types of heat energy: sensible heat and latent heat. Sensible heat is the heat absorbed/released when you heat the substance but it doesn't change phase. An example would be heating lukewarm water. The substance is liquid all throughout. Latent heat, on the other hand, is the heat absorbed/released when there is a phase change. An example would be boiling water, because it changes liquid to vapor. 

Hence, for freezing liquid, you use the latent heat, specifically the heat of fusion. The answer should be

2.5 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) * 6.03 kJ/mol = 0.84 kJ/mol

The answer is not in the choices. You only use Hvap if you boil water.
