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

Which electrolyte is used in an alkali fuel cell?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:  an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution

An alkaline fuel cell is a zero-emission device whose one major component is the electrolyte. An electrolyte, on the other hand,  is a solution that is able to conduct electricity. In an alkaline fuel cell. The electrolyte is an alkaline liquid, and potassium hydroxide also known as KOH is the only alkaline liquid among the choices.

AveGali [126]

Setting up the equation, you get

5=\frac{2}{3} *(-3)+b

b=7

Therefore, the equation is y=\frac{2}{3} x+7

the atomic mass of chlorine is 35.45 u. Is it possible for any single atom of chlorine to have a mass number of exactly 35.45? E
KonstantinChe [14]
No, this number is the result of the natural mixture of Cl-35 and Cl-37, which produces the observed <span>value.

</span><span>The mass of Cl on the periodic table is 35.45 atomic mass units. This is an average mass of the isotopes (different Cl atoms in nature). Most Cl atoms in nature have a relative mass of about 35 atomic mass units. Most of the remaining Cl isotopes have a relative mass of 37 atomic mass units. </span>
