PKa= 4.9 therefore ka= 10^-4.9=  1.259x10^-5

ka= \frac{[H^+][CH3CH2COO^-]}{[CH3CH2COOH]}

[CH3CH2COO^-]
= 0.05
[CH3CH2COOH]= 0.10

Therefore 1.259x10^-5 = \frac{[H^+][0.05]}{[0.1]}
Rearrange the equation to make the concentration of hydrogen the subject.
Therefore [H^+] =  \frac{(1.259*10^-5)(0.1)}{0.05}

Therefore [H^+]= 2.513*10^-5

pH= -log [H^+] = -log(2.513*10^-5)= 4.59.

The sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical energy = Gravitational potential energy + kinetic energy

Time            Gravitational potential energy        kinetic energy         Total ME

0                                    4                                                0                        4

2                                     2                                               2                        4

4                                     0                                               4                        4

6                                     2                                               2                        4

8                                     4                                               0                        4

and so on  .....

We see that total mechanical energy is always 4 which is constant .

So gravitational and kinetic energy changes cyclically but total mechanical energy is constant .

K-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium that undergoes beta decay. What is the product of this decay
Aleks [24]

Answer:

⁴⁰₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁e

Explanation:

Beta decay:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

Properties of beta radiations:

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

⁴⁰₁₉K → ⁴⁰₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Inga [223]

Answer:

Ea= -175.45J

A= 3.5×10^14

k=3.64 ×10^14 s^2.

Explanation:

From

ln k= -(Ea/R) (1/T) + ln A

This is similar to the equation of a straight line:

y= mx + c

Where m= -(Ea/R)

c= ln A

y= ln k

a)

Therefore

21.10 3 104= -(Ea/8.314)

Ea=-( 21.10 3 104×8.314)

Ea= -175.45J

b) ln A= 33.5

A= e^33.5

A= 3.5×10^14

c)

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

k= 3.5×10^14 × e^ -(-175.45/8.314×531)

k = 3.64 ×10^14 s^2.

What is the pH of a 0.100 M HI solution? Is that neutral, acidic, or basic? acidic What is the pOH of a 0.100 M HI solution? Is
inessss [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral

To determine the type of solution, we look at the pH values.

  • The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
  • The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
  • The pH of neutral solution is 7.

We are given:

Concentration of HI = 0.100 M

1 mole of HI produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of iodide ions

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=0.100M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log(0.100)\\\\pH=1

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH + pOH = 14

pOH=14-1=13

Hence, the pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.
