What is the ratio of the concentration of sodium acetate to the concentration of acetic acid at ph 5.75?

1 answer:

4 0

To get the ratio of the concentration of sodium acetate to the concentration of acetic acid we are going to use H-H equation:

when:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

when the Ka of acetic acid = 1.75 x 10^-5

so, we can get Pka from this formula:

Pka = -㏒Ka

= -㏒1.75 x 10^-5

= 4.76

and when we have PH = 5.75, so by substitution:

∴ 5.75 = 4.76 + ㏒[acetate/ acetic acid]

∴ [acetate/acetic acid] = 9.77

∴ the ratio of a concentration of acetate to acetic acid 9.77

A student touches a freshly baked cake that was taken out of the oven. Which best explains why the cake feels hot? Options: Mole

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Molecules in the cake are moving faster than molecules in the skin.

Explanation:

When a cake is baked, the energy is absorbed. This is known as an endothermic reaction. When things are hot, it means that the molecules are in motion. When the cake is taken out from the oven, the molecules are continuously moving and absorbing energy. When the student touches the cake, the heat is flown into the student's body. This happens because of the difference in the temperature between the two.

Do radio waves and microwaves have longer or shorter wavelengths than visible light?

lesya [120]

Radio and microwaves have longer wavelengths than visible light.

If you go take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum, you will be able to see that visible light waves have a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength ( $10^{-6}$ ).
