Answer: Net force is the summation of all the forces involved or acting on an object.
Explanation: For action and reaction situation it states that the Fa = -Fb. Both forces with equal magnitudes but opposite direction will cancel out each other having a zero net force.
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.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume gases have lower density than other states of matter such as solids and liquids.
