Calcium carbonate contains the carbonate ion. Citric acid is an acid. When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products. Carbon dioxide gas produces the fizzing effect in water.

When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products.

If antacids are dissolved prior to ingestion, the reaction between carbonate and hydrogen is faster.

A 0.15 m solution of chloroacetic acid has a ph of 1.86. What is the value of ka for this acid?

Answer: $1.67\times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

$ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Given: c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

$K_a$ = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$1.86=-log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.01$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$0.01=0.15\times \alpha$

$\alpha=0.06$

As $[H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01$

$K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}$

$K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]$

Thus the vale of $K_a$ for the acid is $1.67\times 10^{-3}$

A. X=1.9eV,Y=0.2eV

I already took the gizmo so I know these are right. The first one I got wrong b/c there was no graph and the last one I didn't understand. Basically for the last one you calculate the work function for the metals and find their difference.

Hope this helps.

If it is heated while it is being compressed or held inside a container as such, the pressure build up while in the container and the pressure can become so much that the container will burst.
