Consider a triprotic acid like phosphoric acid or citric acid. which expression correctly describes the relative magnitudes of t

he three ka equilibrium constants?

BaLLatris [955]2 years ago

The triprotic acid like H₃PO₄ contains three protons H⁺ so it ionized through three steps, the acidity strength of first proton higher than second proton higher than third one so Ka1 > Ka2 > Ka3 But
For pKa which equals to -log Ka ... the higher the value of Ka, the smaller the value of pKa. so the correct answer will be:
pKa1 < pKa2 < pKa3

100. cal of heat are added to 18.0 g of ethanol (0.581 cal/g °C) originally at 23 °C. The final temperature is ____________.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Final temperature is 32.56 °C

Explanation:

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1°C.

The following equation/formula is used;

Q = m × c × ΔT

Where; Q= amount of heat supplied

(cal)

M= mass of ethanol (g)

C= specific heat of ethanol

(cal/g °C)

ΔT= change in temperature (°C)

i.e. (final temperature - initial

temperature)

According to the question, Q= 100 calories (cal), M= 18g, C= 0.581 cal/g °C, initial temperature = 23°C, final temperature = ?

Hence, we insert our values into the equation;

Q = m × c × ΔT

ΔT = Q/mc

(Final T - Initial T) = Q/mc

(Final T - 23) = 100/ 18 × 0.581

(Final T - 23) = 100/10.458

Final T - 23 = 9.562

Final T = 23 + 9.562

Final T = 32.562

Hence, the final temperature of ethanol is 32.56°C

Industrial production of nitric acid, which is used in many products including fertilizers and explosives, approaches 10 billion
mylen [45]

Answer: 9.361\times 10^{4} kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation :

4NH_3(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 4NO(g)+6H_2O(g)  \Delta H^0_{rxn}=-902.0kJ

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{7.056\times 10^3g}{17g/mol}=415.1moles

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of NH_3 produces = 902.0 kJ of energy

415.1 moles of NH_3 produces =\frac{902.0}{4}\times 415.1=9.361\times 10^{4} kJ of energy

Thus the change in enthalpy is 9.361\times 10^{4} kJ

An air sample consists of oxygen and nitrogen gas as major components. It also contains carbon dioxide and traces of some rare g
jekas [21]

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as the substance that contains two or more different number of substances that are physically mixed together.

For example, a mixture of air which contains oxygen, nitrogen and other gases.

A mixture in which solute particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as the mixture in which solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent.

A homogeneous mixture is a clear solution.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

A solution is defined as the substance in which two or more substances are mixed together.

A compound is defined as the substance that contains two or more different elements that chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

A element is defined as the substance that contains only one type of atoms.

For example, a piece of sodium element will contain only atoms of sodium.

Whereas a pure substance is defined as the substance which contains only one type of molecule or one type of atom.

For example, O_{2}, N_{2} etc are pure substances.

Thus, we can conclude that the terms which could be used to describe the given sample of air is as follows.

  • pure chemical substance.
  • heterogenous mixture.
  • mixture.

What is the reaction energy Q of this reaction? Use c2=931.5MeV/u. Express your answer in millions of electron volts to three si
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Energy= 2.7758 × 10^-11 J ;

71.112×10^-6 kJ.

Mass defect in Kilogram= 3.0885×10^-28 kg.

That is; 3.1×10^-28 kg(to two significant figure).

Explanation:

(Note: Check equation of reaction in the attached file/picture).

STEP ONE: we have to calculate the Mass defect.

Mass defect= Mass of reactants -- Mass of products.

Mass of the products: (140.9144+91.9262+3.060) u.

= 235.8666 u.

Mass of reactants: (1.0087+235.0439) u= 236.0526 u.

Therefore, the Mass defect= (236.0526 -- 235.8666) u

= 0.1860 u.

STEP TWO: Converting the Mass defect to energy;

0.18860 × 1.6605 × 10^27 kg

= 3.0885× 10^-28 kg

STEP THREE: Calculating energy released . Recall(from the question) c^2= 931.5 Mev/u. This is also equals to 9×10^16 m/s.

E=Mc^2.

Where E= energy released, c= speed of light, M= Mass.

Slotting in the values;

E= 3.0885×10^-28 kg × 9×10^16 m/s.

E=2.7758 × 10^-11 J.

Know that;( 1g of uranium × 1 mol of uranium ÷ 235.0439 g of uranium) × (6.002×10^23 atom of uranium/ 1 mol of uranium) × 2.7758× 10^-11.

=7.1112×10^-10 J

= 71.112×10^6 kJ.
