Converting temperature of 68°F to °C gives 20 °C.

Converting temperature of 68°F to K gives 293 K.

<h3>What is temperature conversion?</h3>

Temperature conversion is the process of converting the measurement units of the temperature recorded in a particular unit to another unit.

The various units of Temperature include;

degree Celsius
degree Fahrenheit
degree Kelvin

Temperature is measured with thermometer and it records the hotness or coldness of a body.

<h3>Converting 68°F to °C</h3>

F = 1.8C + 32

(F - 32/1.8) = C

(68 - 32) / 1.8 = C

20 ⁰C = 68 ⁰F

<h3>Converting 20°C to K</h3>

0 °C = 273 K

20 °C = 273 + 20 = 293 K

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th

Tpy6a [65]

$pH = 13.5$

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the <em>acid</em> dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the <em>base</em> dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :

$[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b = 10^{-pK_{b}}$

$x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}$

$x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}$

$[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}$

$pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5$

Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints?

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

What effect does reusing or recycling municipal waste have on environmental resources? Group of answer choices increased use of

Effectus [21]

Answer:

preservation of raw materials

Explanation:

Reusing and recycling is the process by which the used products are used again or recycled in different form to use it again. Excessive use of the raw materials can lead to their extinction. Recycling the materials helps in decreasing the pollution in the environment. It also helps in reduction in the emission of the harmful gases. When municipal wastes are reused or recycled, the raw materials are preserved. These are the process involved in sustainable use of resources.

The reaction is proceeding at a rate of 0.0080 Ms-1 in 50.0 mL of solution in a system with unknown concentrations of A and B. W

Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.0010 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

Assume the rate law is

rate = k[A][B]²

If you are comparing two rates,

$\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \dfrac{k_{2}\text{[A]}_2[\text{B]}_{2}^{2}}{k_{1}\text{[A]}_1[\text{B]}_{1}^{2}}= \left (\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}}\right ) \left (\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}\right )^{2}$

You are cutting each concentration in half, so

$\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ and }\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

Then,

$\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right ) \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right )^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\text{rate}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{rate}_{1}= \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{0.0080 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$} = \textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$}\\\\\text{The new rate is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^\mathbf{{-1}}$s$^{\mathbf{-1}}$}}$}$
