Answer:

2.90 × 10⁻³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

pH: 1.80

Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.086 M

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -1.80

[H⁺] = 0.0158 M

Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]² / Ca

Ka = 0.0158² / 0.086

Ka = 2.90 × 10⁻³

Explain why the coin is able to float on top of the water in this glass.
zubka84 [21]
Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. 
The attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together.
The attractive force causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. <span>
Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.</span>

A sample of chlorine gas is at 300K and 1.00 atm. At what temperature and pressure would it behave more like an ideal gas?
Fofino [41]

In lower temperatures, the molecules of real gases tend to slow down enough that the attractive forces between the individual molecules are no longer negligible. In high pressures, the molecules are forced closer together- as opposed to the further distances between molecules at lower pressures. This closer the distance between the gas molecules, the more likely that attractive forces will develop between the molecules. As such, the ideal gas behavior occurs best in high temperatures and low pressures. (Answer to your question: C)  This is because  the attraction between molecules are assumed to be negligible in ideal gases, no interactions and transfer of energy between the molecules occur, and as temperature decreases and pressure increases, the more the gas will act like an real gas.
