Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)$

Calculate the amount of $CO_{2}$ dissolved as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

It is given that $K_{CO_{2}}$ = 0.032 M/atm and $P_{CO_{2}}$ = $1.9 \times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Hence, $[CO_{2}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$[CO_{2}]$ = $K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

= $0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm$

= $0.0608 \times 10^{-4}$

or, = $0.608 \times 10^{-5}$

It is given that $K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}$

As, $K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}$

$4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}$

$[H^{+}]^{2}$ = $2.71 \times 10^{-12}$

$[H^{+}]$ = $1.64 \times 10^{-6}$

Since, we know that pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

So, pH = $-log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})$

= 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ethanol is completely miscible due to <u><em>presence</em></u> of Hydrogen bonding.

Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to <u><em>absence</em></u> of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

Which one is unsaturated hydrocarbon?

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is - D C2H4.

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons with single covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkanes. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is CnH2n+2

Unsaturated hydrocarbons the hydrocarbons with double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is CnH2n and CnHn-2

For the given options:

Option D: C2H4, is the simplest alkene with a double bond so it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
