Answer:

2.94

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>A solution is prepared at 25 °C that is initially 0.38 M in chloroacetic acid (HCH₂ClCO₂), a weak acid with Ka= 1.3 x 10⁻³, and 0.44 M in sodium chloroacetate (NaCH₂CICO₂). Calculate the pH of the solution. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.</em>

<em />

We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HCH₂ClCO₂) and its conjugate base (CH₂CICO₂⁻ coming from NaCH₂CICO₂). We can calculate the pH using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pH = pKa + log [CH₂CICO₂⁻]/[HCH₂ClCO₂]

pH = -log 1.3 x 10⁻³ + log (0.44 M/0.38 M)

pH = 2.94

A 1.525g sample of a compound between nitrogen and hydrogen contains 1.333 g of nitrogen. Calculate its empirical formula. The e
vredina [299]

Answer:

NH2.

Explanation:

The mass of hydrogen in the sample = 1.525 - 1.333 = 0.192g.

Dividing the 2 masses by the  relative atomic mass of hydrogen and nitrogen:

H: 0.192 / 1.008 = 0.1905

N: 1.333 / 14.007 = 0.09517

The ratio of N to H =  0.09517 : 0.1905

=  1 : 2.

So the empirical formula is  NH2.

What does the absolute magnitude of a star depend on?
Serggg [28]
C. Distance from Earth

The observed brightness of a star (the apparent magnitude) to an absolute magnitude, you need to know the distance [d], to the star. Alternatively, if we know the distance and the apparent magnitude [m] of a star, we can calculate its absolute magnitude [d].

Slow chemical change

It is a chemical change because the erosion is due to the chemical reaction between the acid and the in the rain and the calcium carbonate.

It is slow due to the concentration of acid is low.

PLEASE HELP ASAP I NEED HEP PLEASE ITS DUE TODAY
Andreas93 [3]

(May not be 100% correct as there may be more context, but I hope this helps! Have a nice day!)

     We can tell it won't be Claim 1 as Claim 1 compares a reddish-brown substance to a gray/white substance.

     I am going to go with Claim 3 is most supported by the evidence because of the three descriptions of the different substances, none of them match.
