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

What is the weight in grams of 3.36 × 10Ƴ molecules of copper sulfate (CuSOÁ)?
spin [16.1K]
Molar mass ( CuSO₄) = 159.609 g/mol

159.609 g ----------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
         ? g ------------------ 3.36 x 10²³ molecules

mass = ( 3.36 x10²³) x 159.609 / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 5.36 x 10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 8.90 g 

hope this helps!

Carbondioxide gas is't collectable in water. why​?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

carbon dioxide is a gas so it isn't collected over water.

Explanation:

it works for insoluble gases such as hydrogen,or gases that do not dissolve easily in water such as ammonia and chlorine are readily soluble in water and are not collected this way.

hope it is helpful for you.

What do all atoms of the same element have
nordsb [41]

Answer:

All atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons.

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons but not always the same electrons and neutrons. If an atom gains or loses one of its valance electrons, the electrons on the outermost shell, then it becomes ionized. Also not all atoms of the same element have the same amount of neutron. This is called an isotope. A good example would be Carbon 13. Normally, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 12 AMU or 12 atomic mass units. However, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 13 AMU, consisting of 7 neutrons instead of 6 neutrons. So the only thing that all atoms of the same element have in common is the amount of protons.
