Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

it dehydrates on standing and can become shock sensitive. It has an acid dissociation constant of 0.42.
a. What is the [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid? Enter to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = H_{picric}

So,  H_{picric}     +       H_2}O          ⇄      H_3}O^+     +     Picric^-

The ICE table can be given as:

                          H_{picric}     +       H_2}O          ⇄      H_3}O^+     +     Picric^-

Initial:                0.52                                               0                  0

Change:             - x                                                 + x                 + x

Equilibrium:      0.52 - x                                        + x                 + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant  (K_a) = 0.42

K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}

0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}

0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x²  + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0                   -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}    ;     ( where +/-  represent ± )

= \frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}

= \frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}

= \frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}     OR   \frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}

= \frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}       OR    \frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}

= \frac{0.6045}{2}                 OR    -\frac{1.4445}{2}

= 0.30225          OR     - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x =  0.30225

x = [ H_3}O^+ ] = [   Picric^- ] =  0.3023  M

∴  the value of  [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid  = 0.3023 M     (to 4 decimal places).

Practice Explaining Heat Flow
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The right choice is "burning gas → pan → water → eggs"

Explanation:

Heat will flow from the body of higher temperature to the cooler body.

So, heat will firstly flow from burning gas to pan by conduction then to the water in contact with pan then to the egg present inside the water.

<u>So, the right choice is :</u>

"burning gas → pan → water → eggs"

Phosphagens are a group of molecules that includes creatine phosphate (in vertebrates), and arginine phosphate, lombricine, and
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Phosphagen provides the needed energy for the muscle tissues which can not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation. They supply immediate but limited energy as sudden demands for lots of energy by the muscle tissues arise.

Explanation:

Phosphagens are high energy storage compounds majorly found in muscular tissue of animals.

They allow maintenance of the high energy phosphate stores in its normal concentration ranges which discard the problems associated with ATP-consuming reactions in these tissues as against the presence of adenosine triphosphate.

The muscle tissues are actively working and need constant supply of energy and the energy produced by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation might not sum up to the needs of the tissues. So therefore, phosphagens serve as a stand by mechanism for energy production for the tissues mostly during sustained muscle activity.

The man, the muscle cells' phosphocreatinine concentration is more than three times the concentration of ATP and represent a ready reserve of high energy phosphate that can be donated directly to Adenosine diphosohate to release energy.

Different organisms use different biomolecule as a phosphagen. Majority of animals use arginine as their phosphagen, chordates use creatinine, annelids use lombricine.

They all perform these similar functions described above.

What is a controlled factor in an experiment?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Sorry this will probably be pretty long.

So think of the "control" as being something you yourself add to increase or decrease the effects in an experiment.
I'll give you an example so it is not as confusing.
Say you have decided to make an experiment on plants. Which plant can grow the fastest on which type of liquid? What is being added to this experiment? The liquid! Or all of the liquids you used. Like if you used Coke, Lime Gatorade, Orange Gatorade, and Water. Each drink will EFFECT each plant differently.
Hope I was of any hope?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

weak acid

Explanation:

pH scale is from 0 to 14

pH =7 is for water which is neutral.  it is neither acidic or basic as the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to hydroxyl ion concentration.

Lesser the pH value than 7 greater the acidic nature. And greater the pH value  than 7 more the basic nature.

Given pH=3-7 So the indicated interval represents weakly acidic.
