Answer:

The concentration of the copper (II) sulfate solution is 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

Explanation:

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution. In this case, the concentration of the copper(II) sulfate solution in micromoles per liter (symbol ) is the number of micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution. To calculate the micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution you must divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution.

Here's that idea written as a formula: c= n/V

where c stands for concentration, n stands for the total micromoles of copper (II) sulfate and V stands for the total volume of the solution.

You're not given the volume of the solution in liters, but rather in milliliters. You can convert milliliters to liters with a unit ratio: V= 150. mL * 10^-3 L/ 1 mL = 0.150 L

Next, plug in μmol and liters into the formula to divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution: c= 31 μmol/0.150 L = 206.66 μmol/L

Convert this number into scientific notation: 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

Cu2 -> Cu2+ is it getting oxidized?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻  →  Cu   ( copper gets reduced )

Cu  → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (  copper gets oxidized )

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

How are ionic bonds formed
kiruha [24]
Ionic bonds are formed as one atom the metal gives up or transfers one of its valence electron to the other atom that would then be able to accept it. This other atom is a non metal. This process occurs because the atoms want to become more stable by each of them satisfying the octet rule. In which atoms would have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.

The pH of 0.10 M solution of an acid is 6. What is the acid dissociation constant of the acid?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: Dissociation constant of the acid is 10^{-11}.

Explanation: Assuming the acid to be monoprotic, the reaction follows:

                         HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-

pH of the solution = 6

and we know that

pH=-log([H^+])

[H^+]=antilog(-pH)

[H^+]=antilog(-6)=10^{-6}M

As HA ionizes into its ions in 1 : 1 ratio, hence

[H^+]=[A^-]=10^{-6}M

As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of acid decreases as it ionizes into its ions, hence the decreases concentration of acid at equilibrium will be:

[HA]=[HA]-[H^+]

[HA]=0.1M-10^{-6}M

[HA]=0.09999M

Dissociation Constant of acid, K_a is given as:

K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{HA}

Putting values of [H^+],[A^-]\text{ and }[HA] in the above equation, we get

K_a=\frac{(10^{-6}M).(10^{-6}M)}{0.09999M}

K_a=1.0001\times 10^{-11}M

Rounding it of to one significant figure, we get

K_a=1.0\times 10^{-11}M\approx 10^{-11}M
