Acids are ionic compounds that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion. The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The more hydrogen ions, the stronger the acid. Bases are ionic compounds that break apart in water to form negatively charged hydroxide ions. The strength of the base is based on the concentration of hydroxide ions. 
Hence, letter C is the correct answer.

The Ka for formic acid (HCO2H) is 1.8 × 10-4. What is the pH of a 0.35 M aqueous solution of sodium formate (NaHCO2)?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

9.36

Explanation:

Sodium formate is the conjugate base of formic acid.

Also,

K_a\times K_b=K_w

K_b for sodium formate is K_b=\frac {K_w}{K_a}

Given that:

K_a of formic acid = 1.8\times 10^{-4}

And, K_w=10^{-14}

So,

K_b=\frac {10^{-14}}{1.8\times 10^{-4}}

K_b=5.5556\times 10^{-11}

Concentration = 0.35 M

HCOONa    ⇒     Na⁺ +    HCOO⁻

Consider the ICE take for the formate  ion as:

                                   HCOO⁻ + H₂O   ⇄   HCOOH + OH⁻

At t=0                              0.35                            -              -

At t =equilibrium           (0.35-x)                          x           x            

The expression for dissociation constant of sodium formate is:

K_{b}=\frac {[OH^-][HCOOH]}{[HCOO^-]}

5.5556\times 10^{-11}=\frac {x^2}{0.35-x}

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.44×10⁻⁵  M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.44×10⁻⁵) = 4.64

pH + pOH = 14

So,

<u>pH = 14 - 4.64 = 9.36</u>

Answer:

A. 6atm

Explanation:

Using pressure law equation:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question;

P1 = 3 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = 120K

T2 = 240K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

3/120 = P2/240

Cross multiply

240 × 3 = P2 × 120

720 = 120P2

P2 = 720/120

P2 = 6atm

Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?
Wittaler [7]
The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops. 

<span>The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.</span>
