Answer:

Because it is the product of two more basic units, mass and acceleration. The calculation of force is as follows:

Force=mass*acceleration

Mass is a base unit, acceleration is a derived unit calculated as a function of length and time which are both base units.

Any unit definition that is a function of more basic units is considered a derived unit.

If acetic acid is the only acid that vinegar contains (ka=1.8×10−5), calculate the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

kicyunya [14]

Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.

$CH_{3}COOH \ \textless \ ---\ \textgreater \ H^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)

pH = 2.88 ==> $[H^{+}]$ = $10^{-2.88}$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

The change in Concentration Δ $[CH_{3}COOH]$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

  CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial   $moldm^{-3}$      $x$ 0 0

Change $moldm^{-3}$ -0.001 +0.001 +0.001

Equilibrium $moldm^{-3}$ $x$ - 0.001 0.001 0.001


Since the $k_{a}$ value is so small, the assumption
$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}$ can be made.

$k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}$

Solve for x to get the required concentration.

note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.

2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind

Hope this helps!

A gas occupies 2.0 m3 at 100.0k and exerts a pressure of 100.0kPa. What volume will the gas occupy if the temperature is increas

Svetradugi [14.3K]

According to ideal gas equation, we know for 1 mole of gas: PV=RT
where P = pressure, T = temperature, R = gas constant, V= volume
If '1' and '2' indicates initial and final experimental conditions, we have
$\frac{P1V1}{P2V2} = \frac{T1}{T2}$

Given that: V1 = 100.0 kPa, T1 = 100.0 K, V1 = 2.0 m3, T2 = 400 K, P2 = 200.0 kPa

∴ on rearranging above eq., we get V2 = $\frac{P1V1T2}{T1} = \frac{100 X 2 X 400}{200X100}$
∴ V2 = 4 m3
