Answer:

Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]

Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]

Explanation:

An amphoteric substance as HSO₃⁻ is a substance that act as either an acid or a base. When acid:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)

And Ka, the acid dissociation constant is:

<h3>Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3><h3 />

When base:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₂SO₃(aq)

And kb, base dissociation constant is:

<h3>Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3>

What is the limiting reactant for the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 grams of Al (molar mass 26.98 g mol-1) and 1
mezya [45]

Answer:

Al

Explanation:

4 Al  +  3 O₂  →  2 Al₂O₃

You need to figure out which one has the smaller mole ratio.  Convert both substances from grams to moles.

(10.0 g Al)/(26.98 g/mol) = 0.3706 mol Al

(19.0 g O₂)/(32.00 g/mol) = 0.5938 mol O₂

Now, use the mole ratios of reactant to product to see which substance produces the least amount of product.

(0.3706 mol Al) × (2 mol Al₂O₃/4 mol Al) = 0.1853 mol Al₂O₃

(0.5938 mol O₂) × (2 mol Al₂O₃/3 mol O₂) = 0.3958 mol Al₂O₃

Since aluminum produces the least amount of product, this is the limiting reagent.

First, we assume that helium behaves as an ideal gas such that the ideal gas law is applicable.
                                     PV = nRT
where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is universal gas constant, and T is temperature. From the equation, if n, R, and T are constant, there is an inverse relationship between P and V. From the given choices, the container with the greatest pressure would be the 50 mL.

A student builds a model of a race car. The scale is 1:15. In the scale model, the car is 8 cm tall.How tall is the actual car?
Xelga [282]

let the actual height of car be x

now, according to question,

  • \dfrac{1}{15}  =  \dfrac{8}{x}

  • x = 15 \times 8

  • x = 120 \:  \: cm

  • height \:  \: of \:  \: car   =   120 \:   cm \:  \: or \:  \: 1.2 \:  \: m

Chlorine gas was first prepared in 1774 by the oxidation of NaCl with MnO2:
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

2NaCl(s) + 2H2SO4(l) + MnO2(s) → Na2SO4(s) + MnSO4(s) + 2H2O(g) + Cl2(g)

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

28.7torr

Converting torr to atm,

= 0.0378atm

V = 0.597L

T = 27 °C

= 300 K

a) PV = nRT

(0.0378atm) * (0.597L) = n(0.0821) * (300k)

= 0.000915 mol

moles of water and chlorine = 0.000915 mol

From the above equation, the ratio of water to chlorine = 1 : 2

Therefore, mole of chlorine = 0.000915/2

= 0.000458 mol

mole fraction = moles of specie/moles of all the species present

= 0.000458/0.000915

= 0.5
