The answer is letter A definitively .
The problem is incomplete. However, there can only be two probable questions for this problem. First, you can be asked the individual partial pressures of each gas. Second, you can be asked the volume occupied by each gas. I can answer both cases for you.
1.
Let's assume ideal gas.
Pressure for N₂: 2 bar*0.4 = 0.8 bar
Pressure for CO₂: 2 bar*0.5 = 1 bar
Pressure for CH₄: 2 bar*0.1 = 0.2 bar
2. For the volume, let's find the total volume first.
V = nRT/P = (1 mol)(8.314 J/mol-K)(30 +273 K)/(2 bar*10⁵ Pa/1 bar)
V = 0.0126 m³
Hence,
Volume for N₂: 0.0126 bar*0.4 = 0.00504 m³
Volume for CO₂: 0.0126*0.5 = 0.0063 m³
Volume for CH₄: 0.0126*0.1 = 0.00126 m³
Answer:
For part (a): pHsol=2.22
Explanation:
I will show you how to solve part (a), so that you can use this example to solve part (b) on your own.
So, you're dealing with formic acid, HCOOH, a weak acid that does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution. This means that an equilibrium will be established between the unionized and ionized forms of the acid.
You can use an ICE table and the initial concentration ofthe acid to determine the concentrations of the conjugate base and of the hydronium ions tha are produced when the acid ionizes
HCOOH(aq]+H2O(l]⇌ HCOO−(aq] + H3O+(aq]
I 0.20 0 0
C (−x) (+x) (+x)
E (0.20−x) x x
You need to use the acid's pKa to determine its acid dissociation constant, Ka, which is equal to
