Answer:
I wanna say c
Explanation:
It makes the most sense, because non-metals don't produce an electrical current, and therefore aren't conductors.
Much of biological studies are actually chemistry because of chemical changes that occur within organisms. Similarly, large parts of chemistry are governed by physics.
Answer:
a) C6H5COOH + H2O ↔ H3O+ + C6H5COO-
b) [ H3O+ ] = 2.517 E-3 M
c) pH = 2.599
Explanation:
a) balanced equation:
C6H5COOH + H2O ↔ H3O+ + C6H5COO-
⇒ Ka = ( [ H3O+ ] * [ C6H5COO- ] ) / [ C6H5COOH ] = 6.5 E-5
mass balance:
0.10 m = [ C6H5COO- ] + [ C6H5COOH ].....(1)
charge balance:
[ H3O+ ] = [ C6H5COO- ] + [ OH- ] .......[ OH- ] : comes from water, it's not significant
⇒ [ H3O+ ] = [ C6H5COO- ] .........(2)
b) (2) in (1):
⇒ 0.10 M = [ H3O+ ] + [ C6H5COOH ]
⇒ [ C6H5COOH ] = 0.10 - [ H3O+ ]
⇒ Ka = [ H3O+ ]² / ( 0.1 - [ H3O+ ] ) = 6.5 E-5
⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + 6.5 E-5 [ H3O+ ] - 6.5 E-6 = 0
⇒ [ H3O+ ] = 2.517 E-3 M
c) pH = - log [ H3O+ ]
⇒ pH = - Log ( 2.517 E-3 )
⇒ pH = 2.599
