How can you experimentally determine the pK_a of acetic acid? Determine the pH of the solution 1/4 of the way to the end-point o
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Determine the pH of the solution half-way to the end-point on the pH titration curve for acetic acid.  

Explanation:

The equation for the ionization of acetic acid is

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

For points between the starting and equivalence points, the pH is given by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}

At the half-way point, half of the HA has been converted to A⁻, so [HA] = [A⁻].  Then,

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{1}{1} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + 0 \\\\\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}}

The pKₐ is the pH at the half-way point in the titration.

A photon of light with a frequency of 2.74 x 1014 Hz collides with an electron. How much energy
sesenic [268]

Answer:

1.82x10⁻¹⁹Joules is the energy of the photon that is absorbed by the electron.

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation:

E = h×ν

<em>Where E is energy of the photon in Joules.</em>

<em>h is Planck's constant (6.6262x10⁻³⁴Js)</em>

<em>And ν is frequency of the photon (In Hz = s⁻¹)</em>

<em />

The frequency of the photon is 2.74x10¹⁴Hz. That means its energy is:

E = 6.6262x10⁻³⁴Js × 2.74x10¹⁴s⁻¹

E =

<h3>1.82x10⁻¹⁹Joules is the energy of the photon that is absorbed by the electron</h3>

Problem Page Cobalt(II) chloride forms several hydrates with the general formula , where is an integer. If the hydrate is heated
steposvetlana [31]

The question has missing information, the complete question is:

Cobalt(II) chloride forms several hydrates with the general formula CoCl₂.xH₂O, where x is an integer. If the hydrate is heated, the water can be driven off, leaving pure CoCl₂ behind. Suppose a sample of a certain hydrate is heated until all the water is removed, and it's found that the mass of the sample decreases by 22.0%. Which hydrate is it? That is, what is x?

Answer:

CoCl₂.26H₂O

Explanation:

The molar masses of the compounds that forms the hydrate are:

Co = 59 g/mol

Cl = 35.5 g/mol

H = 1 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

The molar mass of CoCl₂ is 130 g/mol and of H₂O is 18 g/mol, thus for the hydrate, it will be 130 + 18x g/mol.

Let's suppose 1 mol of the compound. Thus, the mass of the hydrate is: 130 + 18x, and the mass of CoCl₂ will be 130 g. Because the mass decreassed by 22.0% :

0.22*(130 + 18x) = 130

130 + 18x = 590.91

18x = 460.91

x ≅ 26

Thus, the hydrate is CoCl₂.26H₂O

giving the incomplete equation 2N2O5 (g) which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equarion
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The complete question is as follows

Given the incomplete equation: 2 N2O5(g) ==>  Which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equation?

A)2 N2(g) + 3 H2(g)

B)2 N2(g) + 2 O2(g)

C)4 NO2(g) + O2(g)

D)4 NO(g) + SO2(g)

The correct option is C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)

Explanation:

Note that the products should be NO2 and O2 since the reactant is entirely made up of N and O. option A is not correct as hydrogen cannot emerge as a product in this reaction. Matter can never be created or be destroyed bu can only change in a chemical reaction. Option D is not also correct for the same reason.

Option B is not correct since it did not balance the number of atoms of O and N in the reactant side of the equation.

The option C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g) is therefore the right option since it balances both the elements and the number of atoms of the elements present.
