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.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

3m/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial speed (s1) = 4 m/s

Final speed (S2) = 7m/s

Change in speed (ΔS)

ΔS = s2 — s1

ΔS = 7 — 4

ΔS = 3m/s

Therefore, the change in speed is 3m/s

Hydrogen gas was collected by water displacement. what was pressure of the h2 collected if the temperature was 26°c?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The ideal gas law may be written as
p= \frac{\rho R T}{M}
where
p = pressure
ρ =density
T = temperature
M = molar mass
R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

For the given problem,
ρ = 0.09 g/L = 0.09 kg/m³
T = 26°C = 26+273 K = 299 K
M = 1.008 g/mol = 1.008 x 10⁻³ kg/mol

Therefore
p= \frac{(0.09 \, kg/m^{3})*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(299 \, K)}{1.008 \times 10^{-3} \, kg/mol} =2.2195 \times 10^{5} \, Pa

Note that 1 atm = 101325 Pa
Therefore
p = 2.2195 x 10⁵ Pa
   = 221.95 kPa 
   = (2.295 x 10⁵)/101325 atm
   = 2.19 atm

Answer:
2.2195 x 10⁵ Pa (or 221.95 kPa or 2.19 atm)
