The ph of a 0.175 m aqueous solution of a weak acid is 3.52. what is ka for this acid?

Chemistry

Hey there!

pH = - log [ H⁺  ] = 3.52

[ H⁺ ] = 10^-pH

[ H⁺] = 10^ ( -3.52 )

[H⁺] = 3.02*10⁻⁴ M

[HA] =0.175 M

Therefore:

Ka = [ H⁺]* [A⁻] / [ HA]

Ka =  (3.02*10⁻⁴)² /  0.175

Ka = 9.1204*10⁻⁸ / 0.175

Ka = 5.2*10⁻⁷


Hope that helps!

Relate the strength of a weak acid to the strength of a conjugate base.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

There is a relationship between the strength of an acid (or base) and the strength of its conjugate base (or conjugate acid): The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base.  The weaker the acid, the stronger its conjugate base.  The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid.

explanation

The strength of an acid and a base is determined by how completely they dissociate in water. Strong acids (like stomach acid) break down or dissociate in water. Weak acids maintains their protons in water.

0.0145 moles of helium gas are introduced into a balloon so that the volume of the balloon is 2.54 liters. An additional amount
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

4.43L is final volume of the ballon

Explanation:

Avogadro's law of ideal gases states that <em>equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules</em>.

The formula is:

\frac{V_1}{n_1} =\frac{V_2}{n_2}

Where V and n are volume and moles of the gas in initial and final conditions.

If the initial conditions are 0.0145 moles and 2.54L and final amount of moles is 0.0253moles, final volume is:

\frac{2.54L}{0.0145mol} =\frac{V_2}{0.0253mol}

V₂ = <em>4.43L is final volume of the ballon</em>

Answer:

Scientific Explanation of weather change and cause storms is described below in detail.

Explanation:

The weather is just the nature of the environment at any time, including items such as warmth, rainfall, air pressure, and cloud shelter. Daily variations in the weather are due to storms and winds. Seasonal variations are due to the Earth spinning nearby the sun. Warm beginnings often produce stormy weather as the heated air mass at the exterior rises above the cool air mass, creating clouds and storms.
