Answer:

pH = 2.56

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH to the Ka and ratio of the conjugate acid-base pair as follows:

pH = pKa + log([A⁻]/[HA]) = -log(Ka) + log([A⁻]/[HA])

Substituting in the value gives:

pH = -log(1.77 x 10⁻⁴) + log((0.0065M) / (0.10M))

pH = 2.56

Which is true about reaction rates?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

the correct choice would be: 4. Reaction rates are not related to spontaneity.

Explanation:

The speed of reaction is independent of spontaneity, since it depends on other factors such as the amount of reagent.

The amount of reagent is one of the variables that most influences the speed of reaction, the greater the amount of reagent, the faster the reaction will be and thus the speed will be increased.

When communicating with Apollo astronauts, scientists on Earth use radio waves and the "over to you" method of communication. Th
Dominik [7]

The answer is; D

While electromagnetic waves travel at an astounding 3.00 x 10^8 m/s and any delay seems imperceptible in short distances, in long distances, the waves take some time to reach the other end. This is why there is usually a small delay when ground communication tries to reach astronauts in space.  Also, remember that when a communication is relayed from the earth, it has to reach the destination and then wait for a response back to earth which covers the same distance or longer/shorter if the target is moving.

The distance to the moon is 384,400 km, therefore multiply this by 2 = 768,800 km

768,800,000m/300,000,000m = 2. 56 seconds

Therefore radio waves sent to the moon from earth will have a minimum  2.5  seconds delay not considering the processing time of this communication by the destination before sending feedback.  ‘Over to you’ signals end of a message by the messenger hence allowing the other messenger on the other to respond.

What is the concentration of a sodium hydroxide solution if 14.5 mL of it are exactly neutralized by 30.0 mL of a 0.500 M hydroc
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1.03 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of HCl

30.0 mL (0.0300 L) of 0.500 M HCl react.

0.0300 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0150 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of NaOH that react with 0.0150 moles of HCl

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The moles of NaOH that react are 1/1 × 0.0150 mol = 0.0150 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar concentration of NaOH

0.0150 moles of NaOH are in 14.5 mL (0.0145 L).

M = 0.0150 mol/0.0145 L = 1.03 M
