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 $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.15}}$}

Solar, wind, and water power are renewable resources and can replace our dependence on fossil fuels. They each have their own dr
Vesna [10]
Solar- the sun is not always shining, for example at night you can't get any energy from the sun
Wind-it's not always windy
Water- there can be drought
Really the main issue of all three of these is that they are not always available

202H8(9) + 7 O2(g) > 4CO2(g) + 6 H2O(9).
lilavasa [31]

since the concentration of Carbon Dioxide will increase, it would make Q > K, cause equilibrium to shift in the direction with less moles of gas to alleviate the extra pressure. In this case, the reaction will shift left because there are fewer moles of gas present.
