First, we have to get the initial [C6H8O6] = mass/molar mass
 
when the molar mass of C6H8O6 = 176.12 g/mol

∴[C6H8O6] = 0.25 g / 176.12 g/mol 
                    = 0.00142 M

when 
               C6H8O6 ⇄  H+   +  C6H7O6-
intial       0.00142 M       0           0
change    -X                   +X          +X
Equ       (0.00142-X)         X            X
 

so, Ka = [H+][C6H7O6-] / [C6H8O6]

by substitution:

8 x 10^-5 = X * X / (0.00142-X) by solving this equation for X

∴ X = 0.000299 
∴[H+] = 0.000299

∴PH = -㏒[H+]
     
        = -㏒ 0.000299
        = 3.52

The stock concentration of dye is 3.4E-5M. The stock concentration of bleach is 0.36M. Assuming that the reaction goes to comple
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

0.036 M

Explanation:

To do this, let's mark the dye as D and bleach as B.

We have the concentrations of both, and we already know that they react in a 1:1 mole ratio. The total volume of reaction is 9 + 1 = 10 mL or 0.010 L, and we hava both concentrations.

The problem already states that the dye reacts completely, so this is the limiting reagent, while bleach is the excess.

To know the remaining amount of bleach, we need to do this with the moles. First, let's calculate the initial moles of D and B:

moles D = 3.4x10⁻⁵ * 0.009 = 3.06x10⁻⁷ moles

moles B = 0.36 * 0.001 = 3.6x10⁻⁴ moles

Now that we have the moles, and that we know that all the dye reacts completely, let's see how many moles of bleach are left:

moles of B remaining = 3.6x10⁻⁴ - 3.06x10⁻⁷ = 3.597x10⁻⁴ moles

These are the moles presents of B after the reaction has been made. The concentration of the same will be:

[B] = 3.597x10⁻⁴ / 0.010

[B] = 0.0357

With 2 SF it would be:

[B] = 3.6x10⁻² M

A chemist places a 100 g cube of each of the metals listed in the table on a separate hot plate. All of the hot plates are ident
Julli [10]
The lower the specific heat the faster the temperaature will change.


You can learn it from the formula:


Q = m * Cs * ΔT


You can solve for ΔT


ΔT = Q / ( m * Cs)


Given the heat (Q) and m (100 g) are equal for the five samples:


 ΔT = [Q / m] / Cs. = constat / Cs


So you see the inverse relation between the change of temperatura and the specific heat.


So, the order of change of temperature is given by the specific heat: the lower the specific heat the faster the change of temperature. 


With that analysis you can calculate the order in which the cubes will reach the target temperature.

Are carboxylic acids of more than 10 carbons more soluble in polar or nonpolar solvents? Explain.
lina2011 [118]

Answer: Non polar solvents

Explanation:

Since with increasing the size of alkyl group hydrophobic nature increases and solubility in polar solvents decreases .

Hence Carboxylic acids with more than 10 carbon atoms, solubility is more in non polar solvents.

A 0.3870-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.7191Â g of co
olchik [2.2K]
The chemical formula for the compound can be written as,

    CxHyOz 

where x is the number of C atoms, y is the number of H atoms, and z is the number of O atoms. The combustion reaction for this compound is,
   
    CxHyOz + O2 --> CO2 + H2O 

number of moles of C:
     (0.7191 g)(1 mol CO2/44 g of CO2) = 0.0163 mol CO2
 This signifies that 0.0163 mole of C and the mass of carbon in the compound,
        (0.0163 mols C)(12 g C/ 1 mol C) = 0.196 g C

number of moles H:
      (0.1472 g H2O)(1 mol H2O/18 g H2O) = 0.00818 mol H2O

This signifies that there are 0.01635 atoms of H in the compound.
      mass of H in the compound = (0.01635 mols H)(1 g of H) = 0.01635 g H

Mass of oxygen in the compound,
   0.3870 - (0.196 g C + 0.01635 g H) = 0.1746 g

Moles O in the compound = (0.1746 g O)(1 mol O/16 g O) = 0.0109 mols O

The formula of the compound is,
      C0.0163H0.01635O0.0109

Dividing the numbers by the least number,
    C3/2H3/2O

The empirical formula of the compound is therefore,
    <em>  C₃H₃O₂</em>
