Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound :C_4H_6O_2

Explanation:

The empirical formula of the compound =C_2H_3O

The molecular formula of the compound =C_{2n}H_{3n}O_n

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 86 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 43 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{86g/mol}{43g/mol}=2

The molecular formula of the compound :

C_{2\times 2}H_{3\times 2}O_2=C_4H_6O_2

Calculate the pka of hypochlorous acid. The ph of a 0.015 m solution of hypochlorous acid has a ph of 4.64.
o-na [289]

Answer:

  • pKa = 7.46

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO

b) [HClO} = 0.015

c) pH = 4.64

d) pKa = ?

<u>2) Strategy:</u>

With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.

<u>3) Solution:</u>

a) pH

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • 4.64 = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • [H_3O^+]= 10^{-4.64} = 2.29.10^{-5}

b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

c) Equilibrium constant: Ka =  [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]

d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M

e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M

f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46

What is the freezing point of a 1.40 m aqueous solution of a nonvolatile un-ionized solute? (the freezing point depression const
Alina [70]
Depression is freezing point is a colligative property. It is mathematically expressed as ΔTf = Kf X m

where Kf = <span>freezing point depression constant = 1.86°c kg /mol (for water)
m = molality of solution = 1.40 m

</span>∴ ΔTf = Kf X m  = 1.86 X 1.40 = 2.604 oC

Now, for water freezing point = 0 oC

∴Freezing point of solution = -2.604 oC

Enter the balanced complete ionic equation for k2so4(aq)+cai2(aq)→caso4(s)+ki(aq). express your answer as a chemical equation. i
frozen [14]

The ionic equation is as below

Ca^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) ---> CaSO4(s)

EXPLANATION

K2SO4(aq) +Cai2(aq) ---> CaSO4(s) + Ki (aq)

ionic equation

= 2K^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2i^-(aq) --->CaSO4(s) + 2K^+(aq) +2 i^-(aq)

cancel the spectator ions that is 2k^+ and 2i^-

The net ionic equation is therefore

= Ca^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) ----> CaSO4(s)
