Answer:

0.43.

Explanation:

In order to solve this question we will need the an equation called Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation. The Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation can be represented by the reaction below;

pH= pKa + log ( [ A^- ] / [ HA] ).

Where HA is the acetic acid and A^- is the Acetate ion

We are given the pH value to be = 4.38 and the ka to be = 1.76×10^–5. So, we will use the value for the ka to find the pKa through the formula below.

pKa = - log ka.

Therefore, pKa = - log( 1.76×10^–5).

pKa= 4.75 + log

So,

4.38 = 4.75 + log ([ A^-] / [HA]).

4.38 - 4.75 = log ( [ A^- ] / [ HA] ).

( [ A^- ] / [ HA] ) = 10^- 0.37.

( [ A^- ] / [ HA] ) = 0.42657951880159265.

( [ A^- ] / [ HA] )= 0.43.

Answer:

D. The stronger the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil

the liquid

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces hold the molecules together and so require energy to break them. When a substance changes states, it's not the atoms that separate from other atoms, it's molecules separating from molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces

Characteristics of matter that do not involve chemically changing a substance are called _____ properties.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Physical properties

Explanation:

These properties are the ones that you can observe or collect by your senses, for example the color, the odor, the sound, the texture, etc. In this case the substance is not going to change to a new one, it could be that is changing of state.

Answer:

Gaseous nitrogen (78% in air) is fixed (by nitrogen fixing bacteria, and during lightning), then absorbed and assimilated by plants in the form of proteins, as well as nucleic acids. ... Nitrogen is returned to soil with excretory materials of animals and dead organisms.

Explanation:

Nitrates (or nitrites) are natural chemicals that are found in the soil, air and water. Nitrates are also used as a food additive to stop the growth of bacteria and to enhance the flavor and color of foodsAmmonium is also a general name for positively charged or protonated substituted amines and quaternary ammonium cations (NR + 4. ), where one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by organic groups (indicated by R).an obsessive interest in or feeling about someone or something.

Suppose you were calibrating a 100.0 ml volumetric flask using distilled water. the flask temperature was at 20°c, and you assum
kicyunya [14]
The density of water at 12°C is lower than the density of water at 20°C.

Now density is related to volume as per: density = mass / volume =>

mass = volume * density.

So, the greaer the density the higher the mass of the same volume of water.

Therefore, 100.0 ml of water at 12°C has a mass greater than 100.00 ml of water at 20 °C.
