1) Equlibrium reaction

CH3COOH (aq) = CH3COO(-) (aq) + H(+) (aq)

2) Equilibrium constant

Keq = Ka = [CH3COO-] [H+] / [CH3COOH]

3) Equilibrium concentrations

                  CH3COOH      CH3COO-     H+

start               1.40                  0              0
react                  x                   0              0
produced           0                   x              x

equilibrium     1.40 - x            x               x

=> Ka = x * x / (1.40 - x)

Approximation: given that Ka is very small x <<< 1,40 and 1.40 - x  ≈ 1.40

=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 1.40

=> x^2 ≈ 1.40Ka = 1.40 * 1.8 * 10^ - 5 = 2.52 * 10^-5

=> x ≈ √(2.52 * 10^-5) ≈ 5.02 * 10^ -3 M

4) pH = log 1 / [H+]

[H+] = x = 5.02 * 10^-3M

=> pH ≈ log (1 / 5.02 * 10^-3) ≈ 2.3

Answer: 2.3

Determine the number of valence electrons in pcl₃ and then draw the corresponding lewis structure.
Nikolay [14]

The number of valence electrons in PCl_{5} will be 26.

The atom's outermost inhabited shell is where valence electrons are found. They are significant because they have a major impact on how an atom's chemical characteristics are determined.

The number of valence electron in P in 5 and number of valence electron in Cl is 7. There are one molecule of P and three molecule of Cl in  PCl_{5}  molecule. By adding all valence electrons , the total number of valance electrons will be 26.

The Lewis structure of  PCl_{5}  is shown as:

Therefore, the number of valence electrons in PCl_{5} will be 26.

List three criteria used to identify a cold front.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A cold front is a transition zone from warm air masses to cold air masses. We use weather elements to identify cold fronts.

  1. Temperature: Since air moves from warm masses to cold masses, the air in a cold front is at different temperatures. The air behind a cold front is warm while the one ahead is cold. This implies that within a cold front is at different temperatures.
  2. Precipitation: Prior to the passing of cold front, precipitation is usually rife with low showers. A coldfront in itself is usually accompanied by heavy rainfall full of thunderstorms and lightening. After a coldfront, the showers steadies and decreases.
  3. Pressure changes: before a coldfront, the atmospheric pressure decreases steadily. When the front arrives, the pressure further lowers with a sharp increase thereafter. After the front, the pressure can continue to increase.
