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>

Consider the following Reaction.
jeyben [28]

Hey there!:

Molar mass of Mg(OH)2 = 58.33 g/mol


number of moles Mg(OH)2 :

moles of Mg(OH)2 = 30.6 / 58.33 =>  0.5246 moles

Molar mass of H3PO4 =  97.99 g/mol

number of moles H3PO4:

moles of Mg(OH)2 = 63.6 / 97.99 => 0.649 moles

Balanced chemical equation is:


3 Mg(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 --->  Mg3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O


3 mol of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 mol of H3PO4  ,for 0.5246 moles of Mg(OH)2, 0.3498 moles of H3PO4 is required , but we have 0.649 moles of H3PO4, so, Mg(OH)2 is limiting reagent !

Now , we will use Mg(OH)2 in further calculation  .

Molar mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = 262.87 g/mol

According to balanced equation  :

mol of Mg3(PO4)2 formed = (1/3)* moles of Mg(OH)2


= (1/3)*0.5246


= 0.1749 moles of Mg3(PO4)2

use :

mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = number of mol * molar mass


= 0.1749 *  262.87

= 46 g of Mg3(PO4)2

Therefore:

% yield = actual mass * 100 / theoretical mass

% = 34.7 * 100 / 46

% = 3470 / 46

= 75.5%


Hope that helps!

Answer:

How does non-human life in an urban ecosystem differ from that in an undeveloped forest ecosystem?

Explanation:

In forest eco system the people are uncivilized and not so much educated. And in urban eco system people are intelligent as well as educated this is the main reason. In an urban ecosystem, the only non-human life that live there are the ones that are able to survive under the conditions. However, in undeveloped forest ecosystems, there’s barely any pollution. Therefore, a bigger variety of non-human life is able to live here.

Mark brainliest if you can please :)
