Answer:

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one state the following relationship among the pH, pKa and the [a–]/[ha] ratio for the formic acid:

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{Ka}{[H^+]}

In such a way, we compute both the concentration of hydrogen ions and the acid's dissociation constant as:

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.75}=1.78x10^{-4}M

Ka=10^{-Ka}=10^{-3.75}=1.78x10^{-4}

Thus, the [a–]/[ha] ratio becomes:

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{1.78x10^{-4}}{1.78x10^{-4}}\\\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1

Best regards.

The formula for pH given the pKa and the concentrations are:

pH = pKa + log [a–]/[ha]

<span>
Therefore calculating:</span>

3.75 = 3.75 + log [a–]/[ha]

log [a–]/[ha] = 0

[a–]/[ha] = 10^0

<span>[a–]/[ha] = 1</span>

Answer:

Incomplete  

Explanation:

I wouldn't say that a scientific theory is wrong.

It is the best we have at the time, based on all available knowledge .

As each new discovery is made, scientists modify the theory to fit the new knowledge.

The scientific method is a never-ending process.

What is the last energy level of N? Mg?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

2

3

Explanation:

To infer the last energy of the given atoms, we need to write their electronic configuration:

For N = 1S² 2S² 2P³

     Mg  = 1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S²  

The energy levels are usually designated as;

   n = 1

   n = 2

   n = 3

   n =4

For N, the last energy level is 2

     Mg, the last energy level is 3

We can also determine this number by the periods the atoms can be found.
