______ is the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

1 answer:

7 0

The ratio of concentration of ionized acid to the initial concentration of acid multiplied by 100 will give the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

Explanation:

Percent ionization is used for quantifying the number of ions present in the weak acid when dissolved in a solution. So it is similar to the pKa value. The percent ionization value can be determined as negative log of dissociation constant. Also the as the number of ions increases in weak acid, the concentration of acid will be decreasing . It can be calculated using the formula for percent ionization as follows:

$Percent ionization = \frac{Ionized acid concentration}{Initial concentration of acid} * 100$

As the water volume or concentration increases, the acid will get diluted much more thus leading to decrease in the concentration of acid.

So the ratio of concentration of ionized acid to the initial concentration of acid multiplied by 100 will give the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it moves forward and may fall off. That's why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.

Pls help ASAP this questions are science questions ( biology chemistry physics)

Vilka [71]

Answer:

It would be A.

Explanation:

The scale goes from 0 to 14, With 0 being acidic and 14 being basic.

So if 7 is neutral, then anything less than 7 is moving more towards being more acidic. Anything higher than 7 is moving towards being more basic.

How to measure the volume of a baseball bat ( need answers ASAP )

vaieri [72.5K]

<em>Measure the amount of water it displaces.</em>

This won't be easy, because the bat floats in water. But I think you can get around that little problem like this:

-- Get some kind of a tank or tub that's big enough to hold the whole bat under water.

-- Get a heavy weight, like a big wrench or a small rock.

-- Fill the tub almost to the tippy top with water.

-- Slip the heavy weight into the tub, slowly. Some water will run over the top and out of the tub. That's OK ... it's exactly what you want. If NO water runs over the top, pour some more in, until it runs out and then stops. You want the tub full to the brimmy rim with the rock at the bottom of it.

-- Take the heavy weight out of the tub.

-- Now set the tub into a bigger tub or a deep pan. The next time it overflows and some water runs out of it, you'll need to catch that water and measure it.

-- Get a short piece of heavy string. Tie the heavy weight to somewhere near the middle of the bat.

-- Slowly slide the bat into the water, with the rock tied to it. The bat needs to go complete underwater.

-- Some more water will run over the top and out of the tub, and INTO the lower tub. Wait until the overflow stops and everything settles down again.

-- Take the bat (tied to the weight) out of the tub. Slowly and carefully, so that your hand or your arm doesn't make any MORE water run over and out.

-- Lift the upper tub out of the lower tub.

-- Take the lower tub, with the overflow water in it. Using a kitchen measuring cup, or a saucepan or a bottle, or anything else with liquid amounts marked on it, measure how much water overflowed into the lower tub.

THAT amount is the volume of the bat.

You may have to do some units conversions. Like if you need the volume of the bat in cm³ and you used measuring vessels marked in fluid ounces. But you can find all those conversion factors with a search on Floogle.
