A buffer solution is made using a weak acid, HA. If the pH of the buffer is 9 and the ratio of A– to HA is 100, what is the pKa

of HA?

To calculate the pKa of the weak acid, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. It is expressed as pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]. This equation takes into account the concentration of the substance that does not dissociates into ions since it is a weak acid. We caculate as follows:

pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]
9 = pKa - log 1/100
pKa = 7

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What
Leto [7]

Answer: The nuclide symbol of X is ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction is a type of alpha decay process. In this process, the nucleus decays by releasing an alpha particle. The mass number of the nucleus is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is also decreased by 2 units. The particle released is a helium nucleus.

The general equation representing alpha decay process is:

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\textrm{He}

For the given equation :

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}+^4_2\textrm{He}

As the atomic number and mass number must be equal on both sides of the nuclear equation:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}+^4_2\textrm{He}

Thus the nuclide symbol of X is ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}

What happens to glucose in the Calvin cycle? <br><br> Plz help
Leona [35]

The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to a five-carbon molecule known as RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy that were produced in the light reactions, from NADPH and ATP. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.

What is the specific heat of a substance that absorbs 2500 joules of heat when a sample of 100g of the substance increases in te
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

0.417 J/gºC

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Heat (Q) absorbed = 2500 J

Mass (M) of substance = 100 g

Initial temperature (T1) = 10 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 70 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Next, we shall determine the change in temperature (ΔT). This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T1) = 10 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 70 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 70 – 10

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance as follow:

Heat (Q) absorbed = 2500 J

Mass (M) of substance = 100 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

2500 = 100 × C × 60

2500 = 6000 × C

Divide both side by 6000

C = 2500 / 6000

C = 0.417 J/gºC

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.417 J/gºC
