Which of the following is not an example of a chemical change?

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).

What is the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution of pH 8?

fgiga [73]

Answer:

10−8 M.

Explanation:

In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

− pH = log [H+] ,

[H+] = 10−pH,

by exponentiating both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

What happens if you try to move the atoms very close to each other?

stellarik [79]

They push away from each other or repel due to the same charge they have.
