Law of conservation of mass- The total mass after a chemical reaction is exactly the same as the mass before.
A formula unit is the same as the empirical formula of a compound or an ionic molecule. It is the lowest ratio of the atoms in the compound or ion. Zinc acetate ions dissociates into zinc ions and acetate ions. The dissociation reaction is expressed as follows:
Zn(O2CCH3)2 = Zn2+ + 2(O2CCH3)1-
We determine the amount of acetate ions produced as follows:
Moles Zn(O2CCH3)2 = (3 formula units Zn(O2CCH3)2) ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 formula units) = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2
moles (O2CCH3)1- = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ( 2 mol (O2CCH3)1- / 1 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ) = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1-
# of acetate ions = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1- ( 6.022x10^23 ions / 1 mol (O2CCH3)1-) = 6 acetate ions
i will move and collapse with other h20 particles and splash around
As mentioned above, phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values, and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values:
H₃PO₄(aq)
+ H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq) pKₐ₁
<span>
</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq) pKₐ₂
HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq) pKₐ₃
At the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid, the last OH group will lose its hydrogen. On the picture I attached, it is shown required protonated form of phosphoric acid before reaction whose pKa value is 12.4.
