Convert 4.57X-3m to the equivalent length in nanometers

siniylev [52]

Answer:

4.57 × 10⁶ nanometers

Explanation:

In this problem we are asked to convert between two units i.e. a meter into nanometer. In sciences, the different units are used for a same quantity (achieved by multiplying conversion factors) to get rid of very small values and get a readable and intelligible values.

For Example:

In given statement the value of small distance is 4.5 × 10⁻³ meter the real number form of this number is 0.00457. Hence, this number can be converted to a very large number by multiplying it with 10⁹ or 1000000000. Hence,

4.5 × 10⁻³ × 1.0 × 10⁹ = 4.57 × 10⁶

Or,

4.5 × 10⁻³ meters = 4.57 × 10⁶ nanometers

Although the quantity is the same for same units but the number has changed.

The concentration of hydroxide ions is less than the concentration of hydronium ions for acidic solutions. True False

wolverine [178]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It's true because the pH is a measure of how basic or acid a solution is. In an acidic medium, the pH scales goes from 0 to 7. While in a basic medium goes from 7 to 14. The lower the pH value of the most acid the solution is.

1. The expression pH = -log(molar concentration of hydronium) allow to calculate the pH of a solution.

2. On the other hand, the expression pOH = -log(molar concentration of hydroxide) allow to determine the pOH of a solution.

The values of pH and pOH always obey the following expression:

pH + pOH = 14

Thus if for instance the pH becomes smaller the pOH must become bigger in order to fulfill the equation. Which means that the concentration of hydronium ions is greater than the hydroxide concentration.

For example, in an acidic medium:

if pH= 3, pOH= 11

In this case the molar concentration of hydronium is 0,001M. And the molar concentration of hydroxide ions is just 0,00000000001M.

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

pH = 8.0

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

$35.8 \times 10^{-3}L.\frac{0.020mol}{L} =7.2\times 10^{-4}mol$

Let's consider the balanced equation.

C₂H₄O₃ + NaOH ⇒ C₂H₃O₃Na + H₂O

The molar ratio C₂H₄O₃: NaOH: C₂H₃O₃Na is 1: 1: 1. So, when 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of NaOH react completely with 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₄O₃ they form 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₃O₃Na.

The concentration of C₂H₃O₃Na is:

$\frac{7.2\times 10^{-4}mol}{60.8 \times 10^{-3}L} =0.012M$

C₂H₃O₃Na dissociates according to the following equation:

C₂H₃O₃Na(aq) ⇒ C₂H₃O₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

C₂H₃O₃⁻ comes from a weak acid so it undergoes basic hydrolisis.

C₂H₃O₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₄O₃ + OH⁻

If we know that pKa for C₂H₄O₃ is 3.9, we can calculate pKb for C₂H₃O₃⁻ using the following expression:

pKa + pKb = 14

pKb = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

10.1 = -log Kb

Kb = 7.9 × 10⁻¹¹

We can calculate [OH⁻] using the following expression:

[OH⁻] = √(Kb.Cb) <em>where Cb is the initial concentration of the base</em>

[OH⁻] = √(7.9 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.012M) = 9.7 × 10⁻⁷ M

Now, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (9.7 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.0

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6.0 = 8.0
