The answer is Ka = 1.00x10^-10.
Solution:
When given the pH value of the solution equal to 11, we can compute for pOH as
     pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 11.00 = 3.00
We solve for the concentration of OH- using the equation
     [OH-] = 10^-pOH = 10^-3 = x

Considering the sodium salt NaA in water, we have the equation
     NaA → Na+ + A- 
hence, [A-] = 0.0100 M

Since HA is a weak acid, then A- must be the conjugate base and we can set up an ICE table for the reaction
                             A- + H2O ⇌ HA + OH-
     Initial             0.0100            0       0
     Change        -x                    +x     +x
     Equilibrium    0.0100-x         x       x

We can now calculate the Kb for A-:
     Kb = [HA][OH-] / [A-] 
           = x<span>²</span> / 0.0100-x
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0100 simplifies the equation to
     Kb = (10^-3)² / 0.0100 = 0.000100 = 1.00x10^-4

We can finally calculate the Ka for HA from the Kb, since we know that Kw = Ka*Kb = 1.0 x 10^-14:
     Ka = Kw / Kb 
           = 1.00x10^-14 / 1.00x10^-4
           = 1.00x10^-10

a vehicle accelerates with 0.4 m/s. calculate tue time taken by the vehicle to increase its speed from 20m/s to 40m/s.​
Grace [21]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf t = 50 \ seconds}

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Acceleration = a = 0.4 m/s²

Initial Speed = V_i = 20 m/s

Final Speed = V_f = 40 m/s

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Time = t = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

\displaystyle a =\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Rearranging formula for t

\displaystyle t =\frac{V_f-V_i}{a} \\\\t = \frac{40-20}{0.4} \\\\t = \frac{20}{0.4} \\\\\boxed{t = 50 \ seconds}\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is  2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2

Let us express it as

SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1

Let us express it as

SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}

The required ratio is 2:1
