Answer:
Concentration: 0.185M HX
Ka = 9.836x10⁻⁶
pKa = 5.01
Explanation:
A weak acid, HX, reacts with NaOH as follows:
HX + NaOH → NaX + H2O
<em>Where 1 mole of HX reacts with 1 mole of NaOH</em>
To solve this question we need to find the moles of NaOH at equivalence point (Were moles HX = Moles NaOH).
18.50mL = 0.01850L * (0.20mol / L) = 0.00370 moles NaOH = Moles HX
In 20.0mL = 0.0200L =
0.00370 moles HX / 0.0200L = 0.185M HX
The equilibrium of HX is:
HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)
And Ka is defined as:
Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]
<em>Where [H⁺] = [X⁻] because comes from the same equilibrium</em>
As pH = 2.87, [H+] = 10^-pH = 1.349x10⁻³M
Replacing:
Ka = [H⁺] [H⁺] / [HX]
Ka = [1.349x10⁻³M]² / [0.185M]
Ka = 9.836x10⁻⁶
pKa = -log Ka
<h3>pKa = 5.01</h3>
The energy would increase
b) increase kinetic energy
7 would be correct because I divide it
Answer:
Research is constantly deepening our understanding of chemistry, and leading to new discoveries. Chemistry will help us solve many future problems, including sustainable energy and food production, managing our environment, providing safe drinking water and promoting human and environmental health.Chemistry is a big part of your everyday life. You find chemistry in daily life in foods you eat, air you breathe, soap, your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. ... Food is made from chemicals. Many of the changes you observe in the world around you are caused by chemical reactions.By observing chemical reactions, we are able to understand and explain how the natural world works. Chemical reactions turn food into fuel for your body, make fireworks explode, cause food to change when it is cooked, make soap remove grime, and much more.
