Answer:

Orbital Notation is more specific on where exactly the electron is placed.

Explanation:

When writing an electron configuration for an atom, rather than writing out the occupation of each and every orbital specifically, you instead lump all the core electrons together and designate it with a symbol of the corresponding noble gas on the Periodic Table.

the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom or molecule

While Orbital Notation is a visual transformation of the electron configuration. It shows you where each specific electron is placed and what its "spin" is.

A monoprotic weak acid, HA , dissociates in water according to the reaction HA(aq)↽−−⇀H+(aq)+A−(aq) The equilibrium concentratio

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$pK_{a}$ of HA is 6.80

Explanation:

$pK_{a}=-logK_{a}$

Acid dissociation constant ( $K_{a}$ ) of HA is represented as-

$K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

Where species inside third bracket represents equilibrium concentrations

Now, plug in all the given equilibrium concentration into above equation-

$K_{a}=\frac{(2.00\times 10^{-4})\times (2.00\times 10^{-4})}{0.250}$

So, $K_{a}=1.6\times 10^{-7}$

Hence $pK_{a}=-log(1.6\times 10^{-7})=6.80$
