Chemistry
2 answers:
marta [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used for the neutralization of alkaline agents, as a bleaching agent, in food, textile, metal, and rubber industries. It is neutralized if released into the soil and it rapidly hydrolyzes when exposed to water. Skin exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas or hydrochloric acid causes erythema and inflammation of the skin whereas high concentrations can cause severe chemical burns to the skin and mucous membranes.

Match the following aqueous solutions with the appropriate letter.
Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a salt is dissolved , it increases  the boiling point . Increase in boiling point depends upon number of ions . So it is a colligative property .

.19 m AgNO₃ . Each molecule  will ionize into two ions . So effective molar concentration is 0.19 x 2 = .38 m

0.17 m CrSO4.Each molecule  will ionize into two ions . So effective molar concentration is 0.17 x 2 = .34 m

0.13 m Mn(NO₃)₂. Each molecule  will ionize into three  ions . So effective molar concentration is 0.13 x 3 = .39 m

0.31 m Sucrose(nonelectrolyte). Molecules will not ionize . So effective molar concentration is 0.31 x 1 = .31 m

Higher the molar concentration , greater the depression in boiling point .

So lowest boiling point is 0.13 m Mn(NO₃)₂.

second highest  boiling point is 0.19 m AgNO3.

Third lowest boiling point is 0.17 m CrSO4

Highest boiling point or lowest depression 0.31 m Sucrose.

a . 4

b .  1

c . 2

d . 3

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0172 M solution. If the pH of the resulting solution is 2.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

9.7 x 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

              HA     ⇄           H⁺     +        A⁻

C(eq)   0.0174             10⁻²·³⁹         10⁻²·³⁹

                              =0.0041M     =0.0041M

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻]/[HA] = (0.0014)²/(0.0174) = 9.7 x 10⁻⁴
