Answer : The pH of the solution is, 4.9

Explanation : Given,

Dissociation constant for acetic acid = K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Concentration of acetic acid = 0.05 M

Concentration of sodium acetate = 0.075 M

First we have to calculate the value of pK_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (1.8\times 10^{-5})

pK_a=5-\log (1.8)

pK_a=4.7

Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=4.7+\log (\frac{0.075}{0.05})

pH=4.9

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 4.9.

Answer:

I would write "terrestrial/lives on land during all life stages" between the frog and pigeon branches

Explanation:

Jaw evolution has started with fish, so i'd place that before the perch, evolution of four limbs is next and I would plate it between the perch and the frog. Evolution of an egg has ensured that organisms remain terrestrial during all stages of life and don't need to rely on water to lay their eggs. So I would place that between the frog and the pigeon. True mammary glands and true hair, as we know it formed on mammals so i'd place that between the pigeon and the rats (although synapsids evolved similar structures long before birds even existed). And lastly, I would place "walking on two legs" between rats and human branches. Because our ancestors evolved bipedalism relatively late.
