<span>To determine the pH of the solution given, we make use of the acid equilibrium constant (Ka) given. It is the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of the dissociated ions and the acid. The dissociation reaction of the CH3COOH acid would be as follows:

</span>CH3COOH = CH3COO- + H+<span>

The acid equilibrum constant would be expressed as follows:

Ka = [H+][</span>CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH] = 1.8× 10^–5

<span>
To determine the equilibrium concentrations we use the ICE table,
         CH3COOH             H+             </span>CH3COO<span>-
I            1.60                    0                     0
C             -x                    +x                   +x
----------------------------------------------------------------
E         1.60-x                   x                     x 

</span>1.8× 10^–5 =  [H+][CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH] <span>
1.8 x 10^-5 = [x][x] / [0.160-x] </span>

Solving for x,

x = 1.69x10^-3 = [H+] = [F-]

pH = -log [H+] = -log [1.69x10^-3] = 2.8

Pls hurrry<br>what are greenhouse effect 1 paragraph and come friends
Kay [80]
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.
