The acid dissociation constant or Ka is a value used to measure the strength of a specific acid in solution. For a general dissociation of an acid solution,
HA = H+ + A-
we express Ka as follows:
Ka = [H+] [A-] / [HA]
Where the terms represents the concentrations of the acid and the ions. Assuming that the weak acid in the problem is HA, we first calculate for the concentration of H+ from the pH.
pH = - log [H+]
3.25 = - log [H+]
[H+] = 0.0005623 M
By the ICE table, we can calculate the equilibrium concentrations,
HA = H+ + A-
I 0.175 0 0
C -x +x +x

E .174438 0.0005623 0.0005623
Ka = (0.0005623) (0.0005623) / .174438
Ka = 1.81x10^-6
Answer:
6 neutrons. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number shows how many protons. Subract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons.
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide and Water are the products of cellular respiration.
