Answer:Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. ... By international agreement, absolute zero is defined as precisely; 0 K on the Kelvin scale, which is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale; and –273.15 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale.

If the K a Ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 7.3 × 10 − 6 , 7.3×10−6, what is the pH pH of a 0.40 M 0.40 M solution of this acid?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

pH =3.8

Explanation:

Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:

HA + H₂O   ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻    with  Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]

The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.

In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:

                          HA                                   H₃O⁺                          A⁻          

Initial, M             0.40                                   0                              0

Change , M          -x                                     +x                            +x

Equilibrium, M    0.40 - x                              x                               x

Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:

Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )

Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,

7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40  ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³

[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³

Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.

pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8

Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.

hurry please! avogadro's law relates the volume of a gas to the number of moles of gas when temperature and pressure are constan
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Option B. 4 moles of the gaseous product

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial volume (V1) = V

Initial number of mole (n1) = 2 moles

Final volume (V2) = 2V

Final number of mole (n2) =..?

Applying the Avogadro's law equation, we can obtain the number of mole of the gaseous product as follow:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

V/2 = 2V/n2

Cross multiply

V x n2 = 2 x 2V

Divide both side by V

n2 = (2 x 2V)/V

n2 = 2 x 2

n2 = 4 moles

Therefore, 4 moles of the gaseous product were produced.

Label each carbon atom with the appropriate geometry. Bin 1 points to a carbon bonded to a double bonded carbon and single bonde
N76 [4]

Answer:

Bin 1 points to a carbon bonded to a double bonded carbon and single bonded to two hydrogens. --- trigonal planar, tetrahedral

Bin 2 points to a carbon double bonded to a carbon and single bonded to a carbon and one hydrogen.------- trigonal planar, tetrahedral

Bin 3 is a carbon single bonded to two carbons and single bonded to two hydrogens. ----- tetrahedral, tetrahedral

Bin 4 is the same as bin 3.--------tetrahedral, tetrahedral

Bin 5 is a carbon triple bonded to a carbon and single bonded to a carbon.---- linear, tetrahedral

Bin 6 is triple bonded to a carbon and single bonded to a hydrogen.---linear, tetrahedral

Explanation:

A single C-C or C-H bond is in a tetrahedral geometry, the carbon atom is bonded to four species with a bond angle of 109°.

A C=C bond is trigonal planar with a bond angle of 120°.

Lastly, a C≡C bond has a linear geometry with a bond angle of 180° between the atoms of the bond.

If a runner maintains a constant speed of 12 miles an hour how long will it take to complete a half marathon race of 13.1 miles?
Nutka1998 [239]
At 12 mph, how long does it take to go 13.1 miles?

We know that distance = rate * time
So we know that 13.1 = 12 * time
We can now see that time = 13.1/12 = 1.092 (hours)
That's approximately 1 hour and .092*60=5.52 minutes.
