Answer:

The pH changes by 2.0 if the [A-]/[HA] ratio of a base/weak acid mixture changes from 10/1 to 1/10.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the<em> Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>:

  • pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

Let's say we have a weak acid whose pKa is 7.0:

  • pH = 7.0 + log [A⁻]/[HA]

If the [A⁻]/[HA] ratio is 10/1, we're left with:

  • pH = 7.0 + log (10/1)
  • pH = 7.0 + 1
  • pH = 8.0

Now if the ratio is 1/10:

  • pH = 7.0 + log (1/10)
  • pH = 7.0 - 1
  • pH = 6.0

The difference in pH from one case to the other is (8.0-6.0) 2.0.

<em>So the pH changes by 2.0</em> if the [A-]/[HA] ratio of a base/weak acid mixture changes from 10/1 to 1/10.

<u>Keep in mind that no matter the value of pKa, the answer to this question will be the same.</u>

aalyn [17]

Answer:

(molecular) 3 CaCl₂(aq) + 2 (NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) +  6 NH₄Cl(aq)

(ionic) 3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq)

(net ionic) 3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

The molecular equation includes al the species in the molecular form.

3 CaCl₂(aq) + 2 (NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) +  6 NH₄Cl(aq)

The ionic equation includes all the ions (species that dissociate in water) and the species that do not dissociate in water.

3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the species that do not dissociate in water. In does not include <em>spectator ions</em>.

3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s)

A. 207 kJ<br> B. 4730 kJ<br> O C. 9460 kJ<br> O D. 414 kJ
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

C = 9460 Kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 2kg

Latent heat of vaporization = 4730 Kj/Kg

Energy required to vaporize 2kg copper = ?

Solution:

Equation

Q= mLvap

by putting values,

Q= 2kg ×  4730 Kj/Kg

Q = 9460 Kj

competed in a track meet and you run the 1500m race in 403 s. what was your average speed in miles per hour
laila [671]

Answer:

403 Seconds in Minutes is about 6 minutes.

Explanation:

Now, because I don't know if you're labeling your 1500 as meters or miles, I'm assuming it's miles.

I'm going to take a gander at your question.

Since you're technically going so fast for some odd reason.

Your answer should most definitely be 403 MPH
