Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is a wave that produce from the oscillation of matter and transfer energy  through the medium.They are incapable of moving through vacuum.

Electromagnetic wave is a wave composed of two vectors vibrating perpendicular to each other in the same direction in which wave is moving.The two vectors are electric field and magnetic field.They are capable of travelling through vacuum.

Light wave is an electromagnetic wave.Electromagnetic waves can easily travel through space. Where as sound is a mechanical wave which requires medium to travel.

Hence, correct answer is option C.

<span>C) Sound is a mechanical wave and needs a medium to travel through while light is an electromagnetic wave. 

There is no air for the sound waves to travel, therefore, no sound waves being transmitted. </span>

To understand the relation between the strength of an acid or a base and its pKa and pKb values. The degree to which a weak acid
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

pKa = 3.675

Explanation:

  • pKa = - Log Ka

∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M

∴ pH = 2.40

let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):

∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-

⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]

⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]

charge balance:

⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water

⇒ [H+] = [A-]

∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40

⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )

⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4

⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )

⇒ pKa = 3.675
