"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

zavuch27 [327]

Convection currents drive the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading

If I want to accelerate a mass of 3 kg at 5 m/s2 then how much force should I apply?
Stolb23 [73]

<u>Answer:</u> The force that must be applied is 15 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Force exerted on the object is defined as the product of mass of the object and the acceleration of the object.

Mathematically,

F=m\times a

where,

F = force exerted = ?

m = mass of the object = 3 kg

a = acceleration of the object = 5m/s^2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

F=3kg\times 5m/s^2=15N

Hence, the force that must be applied is 15 N.
