Consider the acid to be HA so the equation for acid will be:

HA+H₂O---->H₃O⁺ +A⁻

Initial: 0.45 0 0 0

Final 0.45-x x x x

Kₐ= [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA]

= x²/0.45-x

8.4 × 10⁻⁶= x²/0.45-x

3.78× 10⁻⁶-8.4 × 10⁻⁶x=x²

On solving equation,

x= 0.0018

[H₃O⁺]=[A⁻]=x=0.0018

pH= -log[H₃O⁺]

= -log[0.0018]

= 2.74

3 A soil has 70% sand, 20% silt

Kisachek [45]

Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.

Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).

There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.

Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm

Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm

Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm

Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm

Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.

Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.

Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.

The particles are irregular in outline.

They are large and so do not pack together easily.

Large pore spaces in between.

Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Silt –

Which equation is used to help form the combined gas law? mc009-1. Jpg mc009-2. Jpg mc009-3. Jpg mc009-4. Jpg.

Luba_88 [7]

The combined gas law equation has been $\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ .

The combined gas law has been assigned to the ideal gas. It has been stating that ideal gas are having negligible inter-molecular attraction and collision resulting in the absence of pressure and volume from the particles.

In an ideal gas the equation has been given as:

$PV=nRT$

Where, P has been the pressure of the gas

V has been the volume of the gas

n has been the moles of the gas

R has been a constant

T has been the temperature of the gas

The combined gas law has been given as the change in the pressure, and volume for a gas. It has been given as:

$\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Who is responsible for the general theory of relativity?

puteri [66]

Albert Einstein was responsible for the general theory of relativity. The general theory of relativity explains that what we recognize as the force of gravity in fact arises from the curvature of space and time. In the latency of matter and energy it can evolve, stretch and morph. Forming ridges, valleys and mountains that cause bodies moving through it to curve and zig-zag.
