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

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

How much of a sample remains after three half-lives have occurred? 1/16 of the original sample 1/9 of the original sample 1/8 of
Drupady [299]
For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.

Answer:

3. Inverse 1. Direct

Explanation:

P- pressure

V - volume

T - temperature

P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2 / T2 ...... (1)

That's the general gas law with the combined ideas of charles, boyle & lussac.

Whenever you are restricted as "constant" temperature, volume, or pressure...cancel them off of your equation.

in this case 3. is indirectly telling us to cancel the temperature (T).

so we'll be left w P1*V1 = P2*V2

now notice that any relation ship that is multiplied like the one above consists of inversely related quantities. & so we conclude that-

P & V are inversely proportional or have an inverse relationship.

similarly in 1. we'll cancel p off of the general formula (1)

to be left with V1/T1 = V2/T2

also note that quantities involved in division are directly related to each other & hence the answer.
