"NH4+ <----> NH3 + H+  

The constant of this equilibrium is: K = Kw / Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 1.8 x 10^-5 =5.56 x 10^-10  

5.56 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x  

x = [H+] =1.1 x 10^-5 M  

pH = 5.0"

Answer:

5.0

Explanation:

NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte that ionizes according to the following equation.

NH₄Cl(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

NH₄⁺ is a weak acid according to the following equation.

NH₄⁺(aq) ⇄ NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq)

Given Kb for NH₃, we can calculate the Ka for NH₄⁺.

Ka. Kb = Kw

Ka = Kw / Kb = 10⁻¹⁴/1.8 × 10⁻⁵ = 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁰

For a weak acid, we can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka) = √(0.20 × 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ M

where,

Ca: concentration of the acid

The pH is

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ = 5.0

grigory [225]
[H+] in first brand:
4.5 = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-4.5)

[H+] in second brand:
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-5)

Difference = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)
= 2.2 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.

A golf pro has 2100 J of kinetic energy and swings his driver which weighs .75 kg. What is the speed of his swing?
jeka57 [31]

Answer : The correct answer is 74.83 m/s .

The kinetic energy is energy possessed by any mass which is moving or have some speed . It is product of mass and velocity . It is expressed as :

KE = \frac{1}{2}  * m* v^2

Where KE = kinetic energy in J or kg\frac{m^2}{s^2} m = mass in Kg v = speed in m/s²

Unit of KE is Joules (J) .

Givne : KE = 2100 J mass = 0.75 kg v = ?

Plugging value in KE formula =>

2100 J = \frac{1}{2}  * 0.75 Kg * v^2

2100 J = 0.375 Kg * v^2

Dividing both side by 0.375 kg =>

\frac{2100 J}{0.375 Kg}  = \frac{0.375 Kg}{0.375 Kg } * v^2

v^2 = 5600 \frac{m^2}{s^2}

v= 74.83 \frac{m}{s}
