The first dissociation for H2X:
                        H2X +H2O ↔ HX + H3O
initial                0.15                     0      0
change             -X                     +X      +X
at equlibrium 0.15-X                  X        X
because Ka1 is small we can assume neglect x in H2X concentration
     Ka1      = [HX][H3O]/[H2X]
4.5x10^-6 =( X )(X) / (0.15)
X = √(4.5x10^-6*0.15) 
∴X = 8.2 x 10-4 m
∴[HX] & [H3O] = 8.2x10^-4
the second dissociation of H2X
        HX + H2O↔ X^2 + H3O
    8.2x10^-4          Y         8.2x10^-4
Ka2 for Hx = 1.2x10^-11
Ka2       = [X2][H3O]/[HX]
1.2x10^-11= y (8.2x10^-4)*(8.2x10^-4)
∴y = 1.78x10^-5
∴[X^2] = 1.78x10^-5 m

A 50-gram sample has a half-life of 12 days. How much material will remain after 12 days?
Elis [28]
<span>A 50-gram sample with a half-life of 12 days will have a remaining mass of 25 grams after its 12-day half-life. Every cycle of a half-life, the sample will lose half of its mass, so if the half-life, itself, is 12 days and the time period passing is 12 days, one half-life has passed and the material will be halved.</span>

The ph of a solution that contains 0.818 m acetic acid (ka = 1.76 x 10-5) and 0.172 m sodium acetate is __________.
crimeas [40]
PH is calculated using <span>Handerson- Hasselbalch equation,

                                      pH  =  pKa  +  log [conjugate base] / [acid]

Conjugate Base  =  Acetate (CH</span>₃COO⁻)
Acid                    =  Acetic acid (CH₃COOH)
So,
                                      pH  =  pKa  +  log [acetate] / [acetic acid]

We are having conc. of acid and acetate but missing with pKa,
pKa is calculated as,

                                     pKa  =  -log Ka
Putting value of Ka,
                                     pKa  =  -log 1.76 × 10⁻⁵

                                     pKa  =  4.75
Now,
Putting all values in eq. 1,
                     
                                     pH  =  4.75 + log [0.172] / [0.818]

                                     pH  =  4.072

5. You have 100 kg of gas of the following composition: CH4 - 30% H2 - 10% N2 - 60% What is the average molecular weight of this
Lorico [155]

Answer:

21.8 g/mol

Explanation:

Molecular weight of CH4 = 16g/mol

H2 = 2g/mol

N2 = 28g/mol

(16*30 + 2*10 + 28*60)/100

=2180/100

=21.8g/mol

If it takes three "breaths" to blow up a balloon to 1.2 l, and each breath supplies the balloon with 0.060 moles of exhaled air,
vesna_86 [32]
<span>It takes 3 breaths to get to 1.2 l. One breath is then (1.2 l) / 3 breaths = .4l/breath. To get to 3.0 l we need the difference from 1.2 l. 3.0-1.2 = 1.8 l. Divide the difference by liters/breath (.4) to get how many needed breaths. (1.8 l)/(.4 l/breath) = 4.5 breaths to get the balloon to 3.0 l. In total there were 3 breaths+ 4.5 breaths = 7.5breaths to get to 3.0 l. To find the total moles multiply 7.5breaths by .060 moles/breath 7.5 breaths*.060moles/breath = .45moles</span>
