Answer:

Ratio of [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃] is 1.0x10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Based on the equilibriums:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ H⁺ + HCO₃⁻ Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹

The sum of both equilibriums is:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ 2 H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ K' = 4.3x10⁻⁷*4.8x10⁻¹¹ = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷

Where K' is defined as:

K' = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷ = [H⁺]² [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

If concentration of H⁺ is 4.5x10⁻⁵M:

K' = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷ = [4.5x10⁻⁵]² [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

1.0x10⁻⁸ = [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

Thus, <em>ratio of [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃] is 1.0x10⁻⁸</em>

What does continental drift and sea floor spreading have in common
Llana [10]

In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.

Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.

The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation is Kp = 5.23 at 191 °C. Calculate the value of the Kc for the reaction at 191
Lapatulllka [165]
To convert from Kp to Kc, you need this formula---> Kp= Kc (RT)^Δn, where Δn= gas moles of product- gas moles of reactants. since you did not give a reaction formula, I can't calculate Δn. but all once you find it out. just plug it. 

Kp= Kc (RT)^Δn------------------> Kc= Kp/[(RT)^Δn]
 Kp= 5.23
R= 0.0821
T= 191 C= 464 K
Δn= ?

Kc= 5.23/ (0.0821 x 464)^Δn= ???

They diffuse through small pores at the bottom of the leaf called stomata.

Plants can open and close their stomata, they open them to get water and carbon dioxide in but then close them to ensure the water doesn't 'leak' back out. This is important for plants growing in drier conditions like the cactus.
