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

Why doesn't peppermint improve your reaction?

skelet666 [1.2K]

The myth that peppermint makes you smarter, is false, but there are benefits to the scent of peppermint. Although, eating peppermint flavored candies is not as beneficial as actually smelling the peppermint before the test.

Peppermint in many forms such as tea, candy, and oil can be used to help improve mental awareness. The menthol “stimulates the Hippocampus area of the brain which controls mental clarity and memory. The odor triggers you to wake up and pay attention.” This explains why many people believe that peppermint makes you smarter, when really it makes you more alert.

Peppermint also has the ability to improve athletic performance as well as helping to improve reaction times.

Overall, peppermint can improve your mental awareness but, no, it does not actually make you smarter.

Ben is pushing a small trolley 10 N to the north and but Gary is pushing the trolley 5 N to the south. What is the total applied

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The total applied force on the trolley is 5 N toward the North.

Explanation:

In this problem, Ben is pushing the trolley to north and Gary is pushing it to south. So both the forces are acting 180° opposite to each other. As force is a vector quantity, the net force or total force acting on any object should be calculated by vector addition of number of forces along with their directions. So in this case, if we consider the force Ben is applying as F1 and the force Gary is applying as F2 on the trolley. Then the net or total force acting on the trolley will be $F1-F2$ . This is because, F1 and F2 are acting opposite to each other in direction.Thus, $Total force acting on the trolley = 10 N - 5 N$ .

So the total force acting on the trolley is 5 N and it is toward the north direction.
