Determine the [H3O+] in a 0.265 M HClO solution. The Ka of HClO is 2.9 × 10-8.
1 answer:
8.8 × 10-5 M is the [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.
Explanation:
HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.
the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.
HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+
I 0.265 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.265-x +x +x
Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.
Ka =
2.9 × 10^-8 =
= 7.698 x
x = 8.8 × 10-5 M
The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M in 0.265 M solution of HClO.

The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.
For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
Explanation:
According to ideal gas equation:
P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)
V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L
n = number of moles = ?
R = gas constant =
T =temperature =
According to stoichiometry:
4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride
Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = moles of carbon tetrachloride
volume of carbon tetrachloride =
Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
