Answer:

The Ka for this acid is 1.4 * 10^-4 (option C)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

In a 0.20M aqueous solution, lactic acid is 2.6% dissociated.

Step 2: The equation for the dissociation of HAc is:

HAc ⇌ H+ + Ac¯

The Ka expression is:

Ka = ([H+] [Ac¯]) / [HAc]

1) [H+] using the concentration and the percent dissociation:

(0.026) (0.2) = 0.0052 M

2) Calculate [Ac-] and [H+]

[Ac¯] = [H+] = x = 0.0052 M

3) Calculate [HAc]

[HAc] = 0.20M - x ( since x << 0.20, we can assume [HAc]  = 0.20 M

4) Calculate Ka

Ka= [( 0.0052) ( 0.0052)] / 0.20

Ka = 0.0001352 = 1.4 * 10^-4

The Ka for this acid is 1.4 * 10^-4

Should a mortar and pestle should be used for grinding only one substance at a time
MatroZZZ [7]
The mortar and pestle is most commonly used in chemical laboratories or in the kitchen. Its key function is to grind the material into smaller pieces, usually into its powdered form. It looks like that shown in the picture. The mortar is the bowl in which the material to be pounded is placed, and the pestle does the pounding.

Now, when you ask if it can only pound one at a time, my honest answer is, it depends. Depending on the size of your mortar, you could grind materials two or three at a time. But if you are concerned with contamination, then you do it one at a time, especially if you don't want them to get mixed up.

Which of the following sets represents a pair of isotopes?
son4ous [18]
The correct option is A,
Isotopes are atoms of an element, which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Thus, isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass number.
Looking at the options given above, you will discover that Chlorine which is given in option A is correct. Both type of chlorine has the same atomic number, which is 17, but they have different atomic masses, the atomic mass of the first one is 35 while that of the second one is 37.<span />
