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

anygoal [31]

Answer:

d. supersaturated.

Explanation:

A solution naturally contains a solute and a solvent. The solute is the solid substance that dissolves in the solvent, which is usually a liquid substance. A solution has a maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in its constituent solvent.

However, when the amount of dissolved solute in a solution at a given temperature is greater than the amount that can permanently remain in the solution at that temperature, the solution is said to be SUPERSATURATED. This means that the solution contains more than the maximum amount of solute.

The rate constant for the decomposition reaction of H2O2 is 3.66 × 10−3 s−1 at a particular temperature. What is the concentrati
Pepsi [2]

Answer:  3.72 M

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant = 3.66\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

t = age of sample = 15.0 minutes

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 10.0 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

15.0\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{3.66\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{10.0}{(a-x)}

\log\frac{100}{(a-x)}=1.43

\frac{100}{(a-x)}=26.9

(a-x)=3.72M

The concentration of H_2O_2 in a solution after 15.0 minutes have passed is 3.72 M

How can air pollution affect plants?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

C. air pollution absorbs carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide's role in the greenhouse effect is a major contributor to air pollution. Radiation and heat emanating from the earth's surface need to be released out into the atmosphere. But because carbon dioxide levels are so high, there is an ozone effect on the ground level.
