Answer:

pH = 5.47

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

HIO ↔ H⁺ + IO⁻

Ka = $\frac{[H+][IO-]}{[HIO]}$ = 2.3 * 10⁻¹¹

At equilibrium:

[HIO] = 0.5 M - x

[H⁺] = x

[IO⁻] = x

<u>Replacing those values in the equation for Ka and solving for x:</u>

$Ka=\frac{x^2}{0.5-x}=2.3*10^{-11} \\x^2=(2.3*10^{-11})(0.5-x)\\x^2=1.15*10^{-11}-2.3*10^{-11}x\\x^2+2.3*10^{-11}x-1.15*10^{-11}=0\\x=3.39*10^{-6}$

Then [H⁺]=3.39 * 10⁻⁶, thus pH = 5.47

Select the correct term to complete each sentence.

leva [86]

Answer: 1. halve

2. halve

3. double

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

E= energy

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

Thus as wavelength and energy have inverse realation, when wavelength will halve , energy will double.

2. The between wavenumber and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=h\times c\times \bar{\nu}$

E= energy

$\bar{\nu}$ $\nubar$ = wavenumber of the wave

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

Thus as wavenumber and energy have direct relation, when wavenumber will halve , energy will be halved.

3. The relationship between energy and frequency of the wave follows the equation:

$E=h\times \nu$

where

E = energy

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ = frequency of the wave

Thus as frequency and energy have direct realation, when frequency will double , energy will double.

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to ____.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The answer is Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is most similar to facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution.

Facilitated diffusion is defined as: Facilitated diffusion is the flow of molecules requiring the aid of a protein, across a membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
