Answer:

\large \boxed{5.15}

Explanation:

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

1. Calculate pKₐ

\text{p}K_{\text{a}} = -\log \left (K_{\text{a}} \right ) =-\log(1.3 \times 10^{-5}) = 4.89

2. Calculate the pH

We can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get the pH.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{pH} & = & \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log \left(\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 +\log \left(\dfrac{0.42}{0.23}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 + \log1.83 \\& = & 4.89 +0.261\\& = & 5.15\\\end{array}\\\text{The pH of the buffer is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.15}}$}

frutty [35]

Answer:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

In a complete neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form neutral salt and water. To form barium chloride, hydrochloric acid (acid) reacts with barium hydroxide  (base). The balanced chemical equation is:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

g Tom's roommate Bob spilled crystal violet solution on his lab coat, and Tom offers to use some lye (sodium hydroxide solution)
irina [24]

Answer:

Tom is correct. The rate of reaction of Crystal violet and NaOH is first order with respect to NaOH, hence, a higher concentration of NaOH corresponds to a higher rate of reaction; a faster reaction.

This means the speed of cleaning depends on the concentration of the lye used.

Explanation:

The reaction between Crystal violet and NaOH, represented as

CV⁺ + OH⁻ → CVOH

It is a reaction that is know to turn the violet colour of the crystal violet colourless.

The rate of the reaction is also known to be second order; first order with respect to Crystal violet and first order with respect to NaOH.

This means that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of NaOH provided all other parameters such as the rate constant and the concentration of Crystal violet are constant.

Hence, the reaction becomes faster with an increased concentration of NaOH.

So, Tom is right, concentrated lye solution would remove the stain faster.

Bob is wrong.

Hope this Helps!!!

In the citric acid cycle, ATP molecules are produced by _____. In the citric acid cycle, ATP molecules are produced by _____. su
monitta

Answer:

substrate-level phosphorylation

Explanation:

Substrate-level phosphorylation is the metabolic reaction which results in formation of energy currency molecules, ATP or GTP by direct transfer of a phosphoryl group to the ADP or GDP from the another phosphorylated compound.

<u>In citric acid cycle, Succinyl-CoA in the presence of succinyl-CoA synthase is converted to succinate. Condensation reaction (Substrate-level phosphorylation) of GDP and Pi takes place which results in the formation of GTP.</u>

Which of the following best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy? (2 points) The chemical energy in a b
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: A woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

Explanation:

Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the body due to its position.

Kinetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the the body  due to its motion.

When a woman kick's a soccer ball she transferred her potential energy to soccer ball.Due to this action soccer ball comes into motion which means potential energy imparted to the ball starts getting converted into kinetic energy.
