The acid dissociation constant of a weak monoprotic acid if the concentration of the acid is 0.3M and it has a pH of 3 is 3 × 10⁻⁶.

<h3>What is the acid dissociation constant?</h3>

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is the equilibrium constant for an acid dissociation reaction.

Let's consider the acid dissociation of a generic weak acid.

HA(aq) = H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq)

  • Step 1. Calculate [H⁺].

The pH of the solution is 3.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3 = 1 × 10⁻³ M

  • Step 2. Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka).

The concentration of the acid (Ca) is 0.3 M. For a weak monoprotic acid, we can calculate the acid dissociation constant using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

Ka = [H⁺]² / Ca

Ka = (1 × 10⁻³)² / 0.3 = 3 × 10⁻⁶

The acid dissociation constant of a weak monoprotic acid if the concentration of the acid is 0.3M and it has a pH of 3 is 3 × 10⁻⁶.

The activity of a certain isotope dropped from 3200 ci to 800 ci in 24.0 years. what is the half-life of this isotope (in years)
Alexxx [7]
Ln(800/3200) = - kt
t = 24 years.
ln(0.25) = -k*24
(- 1.3863) = -k*24
1.3863  / 24 = k
0.05776 = k

ln(0.5) = -k*t
-0.6931 = - 0.05776 t
12 = t

I don't know if you can just look at the question and know the answer. If 24 years is a quarter life then is it obvious that the 1/2 life is 12 years? It might be, but the method I've used works for sure.

Are producers heterotrophs or autotrophs?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

Autotrophs make their own food, or produce food for themselves through the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, we can say that autotrophs are also producers. Some examples of producers are plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.

Which of the following is not among the advantages of generating nuclear energy?
WARRIOR [948]

B

While nuclear energy does not pollute the environment, it poses the risk of radiation which is harmful to organisms because it causes lethal mutations.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission, for example, releases neutrons and other particles (at very high speeds) that can ionize materials including DNA. This will induce mutations of DNA most of which are usually lethal to organisms. Gamma and X- rays are also produced by fusion reactions and  if exposed to organisms also cause mutations on DNA through double stranded breaks. Therefore, the risk of an accident of a nuclear reactor can have immense ramifications on the ecosystems.
