Answer:

<em>The solution with the lowest pH is 0.1 M HCl.</em>

Explanation:

Since the three solutions have the same concentration (0,1M) it is only necessary to look at the pKa of each solution.

Also, knowing that a higher pKa means a lower Ka, because pKa = -Log (Ka). Thus, a lower Ka means a lower concentration of protons with a higher pH ( pH = -Log [H+].

The HCl doesn't have a pKa because is a strong acid that dissociates completely. Therefore, this solution produces a lower pH. Looking at the pKa of acetic acid and formic acid solutions, the second with the lowest pH is the formic acid solutions and the higher pH is for the acetic acid solution.

Utilizing dimensional analysis find the number of inches in a kilometer given that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm
hodyreva [135]
To solve this problem, separate it into chunks that you know. You know that there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. You know that there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. You know that there are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, we'll convert in this order: 1) from kilometers to meters, 2) from meters to centimeters, and 3) from centimeters to inches.
1) 1km × 1000m/1km
= 1000m
2) 1000m × 100cm/1m
= 100000cm
3) 100000cm × 1in/2.54cm
≈ 39370in
So, there are approximately 39370 inches in a kilometer.
