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

Balance the following reactions using either the oxidation number method or the half-reaction method. Identify which element has
Marina86 [1]

6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^- → 6Ce^{3+} + IO_3^- + 3H_2O is the balanced chemical equation.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced chemical reaction is an equation that has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

Half-reaction method:

Unbalanced chemical equation:

Ce^{4+} + I^-→ Ce^{3+} + IO^{3-}

Oxidation half-reaction:

I^-+ 6OH^- - 6e- → IO^{3-} + 3H_2O

Reduction half-reaction:

Ce4^+ + e^- → Ce^{3+}

Balanced chemical equation:

6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-→ 6Ce^{3+} + IO^{3-} + 3H_2O

Oxidation number method:

Unbalanced chemical equation:

Ce^{4+} + I^-→ Ce^{3+} + IO^{3-}

I^{-1} -6e^-→ I^{+5}

Ce^{4+} + e^- → Ce^{3+}

Balanced chemical equation:

6Ce^{4+} + I^{-1} → 6Ce^{3+} + I^{+5}

or

6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-→ 6Ce^{3+} + IO_3^- + 3H_2O

Hence, 6Ce^{4+} + I^- + 6OH^-→ 6Ce^{3+} + IO_3^- + 3H_2O is the balanced chemical equation.

The molar mass of nitrogen (N2) is 28.02 g/mol. What is the mass, in grams, of 4.60 mol of N2?0.1646.0923.4129
kati45 [8]
Answer is 128.892 g.

moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

According to the given data,
     moles = 4.60 mol
     mass = ?
     molar mass = 28.02 g/mol

By substitution,
   4.60 mol = mass / (28.02 g/mol)
        mass = 4.60 mol x 28.02 g/mol
        mass = 128.892 g

Hence, mass of 4.60 mol of N
₂ is 128.892 g.
