You need to use the Ka for the acetic acid and the equilibrium equation.
Ka = 1.85 * 10^ -5
Equilibrium reaction: CH3COOH (aq) ---> CH3COO(-) + H(+)
Ka = [CH3COO-][H+] / [CH3COOH]
Molar concentrations at equilibrium
CH3COOH CH3COO- H+
0.50 - x x x
Ka = x*x / (0.50 - x) = x^2 / (0.50 - x)
Given that Ka is << 1 => 0.50 >> x and 0.50 - x ≈ 0.50
=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 0.50
=> x^2 ≈ 0.50 * Ka = 0.50 * 1.85 * 10^ -5 = 0.925 * 10^ - 5 = 9.25 * 10 ^ - 6
=> x = √ [9.25 * 10^ -6] = 3.04 * 10^ -3 ≈ 0.0030
pH = - log [H+] = - log (x) = - log (0.0030) = 2.5
Answer: 2.5
Answer:
A leaf needs carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis. ... For carbon dioxide to enter, the stomata on the surface of the leaf must be open. As you have seen, transpiration draws water from the roots into the leaf mesophyll.

Answer: Alkaloids
A class of substances known as alkaloids are used for their medicinal properties.
Explanation:
Alkaloids are small but complex organic substances with at least one nitrogen atom in its ring structure. Hence, they have strong basic properties, and are produced in naturally by some plants.
Examples of alkaloids and their medicinal properties are as follows:
- caffeine, used in certain drug and drinks to stimulate the nervous system
- morphine, used to reduce pain and induce sleep in humans.
- cocaine, nicotine etc
