Answer:

9.8 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid dissociation of barbituric acid.

HC₄H₃N₂O₃(aq) ⇄ C₄H₃N₂O₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pH is 1.93. We can find the concentration of H⁺.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -1.93 = 0.0117 M

The concentration of the acid (Ca) is 1.4 M. We can fidn the acid dissociation constant (Ka) using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

[H⁺]² = Ca × Ka

Ka = [H⁺]² / Ca

Ka = (0.0117)² / 1.4

Ka = 9.8 × 10⁻⁵

A certain compound is made up of one phosphorus (P) atom, three chlorine (Cl) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom. What is the chemic
yulyashka [42]

Answer: PCl₃O

Explanation:

1) The chemical formula tells the composition of a compound in terms of the ratio of number of atoms of each element that consitutes such compound.

2) You use the chemical symbol for each kind of atom (element) and subscripts to the right of each symbol to tell the number of atoms of each element.

3) For example, O₂ means two atoms of oxygen. Al₂O₃ means two atoms of aluminum and 3 atoms of oxygen.

4) Therefore, PCl₃O means a ratio 1 : 3 : 1 for phosphorus, chlorine, and oxygen.

Hence, PCl₃O is the chemical formula of your compound.

Explain how atomic interactions determine a material to be transparent and opaque
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The materials are opaque or crystalline from a client to the orientation and type of union between their atoms, forming two types of structures.

These two structures can be crystalline or amorphous.

In the case of being crystalline, these unions do not allow light to pass through the medium of the object or body of said compound, making it totally refract and giving the appearance of OPAQUE.

On the other hand, in those compounds that we call amorphous, the atoms are located in a different way that makes light pass through them, without absorbing or identifying any light beam, so they look transparent.

Explanation:

Example: A glass cup has an amorphous structure, while a porcelain or porcelain plate has a crystalline structure.
