Water is a slow conductor of heat, thus it needs to gain more energy than the sand or dry land in order for its temperature to increase. On the other hand, soil loses its heat much faster. ... Not only do the oceans cover more than 2/3 of the Earth's surface, they also absorb more sunlight and store more heat.

The acid dissociation constant Ka of boric acid (H3BO3) is 5.8 times 10^-10. Calculate the pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid.

madam [21]

Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

$H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-$

at t=0 cM 0 0

at eqm $c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 4.4 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}$

Putting in the values we get:

$5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.000011$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3$

Thus pH of a 4.4 M $H_3BO_3$ solution is 4.3

The graph given below shows the motion of four runners P, Q, R, and S in a 5 km marathon.

wel

Answer:-

As we can see from the graphical data,

The distance covered by all the four runners is the same 5 km.

Among the four athletes, Athlete P covers the distance in under three hours.

It is the minimum time taken among the four athletes.

Thus Athlete P covers the 5 km distance in the minimum amount of time.

We know that speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Since time taken for P is minimum, his speed is the maximum. P ran the fastest.

Time taken by Q = 4.5 hours.

Speed of Q = $\frac{Distance}{Time taken by Q}$

= $\frac{5km}{4.5hour}$

= 1.1 km/ hr

Time taken by R = 6 hours.

Speed of R = $\frac{Distance}{Time taken by R}$

= $\frac{5km}{6hour}$

= 0.8 km/ hr
