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

15. What volume of CCI, (d = 1.6 g/cc) contain
anastassius [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{(3) 9.6 L}}

Explanation:

1. Moles of CCl₄

n = 6.02 \times 10^{25} \text{ molecules} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}} = \text{100.0 mol}

2. Molar mass of CCl₄

MM = 1 × 12.01 + 4 × 35.5 = 12.01 + 142 = 154.0 g/mol

3. Mass of CCl₄

m =\text{100.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{154.0 g}}{\text{1 mol}} = \text{15 400 g}

4. Volume of CCl₄

V = \text{15 400 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cm}^{3}}{\text{1.6 g}} = \text{9600 cm}^{3}\\\\V = \text{9600 cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L}}{\text{1000 cm}^{3}} = \mathbf{{9.6 L}}\\\\\text{The volume of CCl$_{4}$ is } \boxed{\textbf{9.6 L}}

Answer 1) Option D : Discrete


Explanation : As in the example the scientist studies about the effects of growing human populations on the biodiversity which is found in a region, and where each region was selected had a different population density of humans from 1 to 10 million per 10 square miles. Then in each region the number of different species that can be found was recorded. So here the numerical data was collected for different regions. So, we can conclude it as discrete because when the variable takes on a countable number of values it is called as discrete.


Answer 2) Option D : The entertainment industry


Explanation : When people had enough time and money with them there was no need of creating the communications industry as it was a need not a luxurious thing. With the creation of Internet industry it is somewhat irrelevant. They had enough of time and money so building a labor industry seems to be a lame choice. So, the option of entertainment industry suits the best.

Physical activity and exercise typically lead to __________.
polet [3.4K]
<span>Physical activity and exercise typically lead to higher energy levels. As your body gets used to working hard consistently, you tend to be more prepared and in better physical condition. Your body begins to learn that you should burn up calories quickly to prepare to be active, and this results in increased energy levels even when you're not currently exercising.</span>

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.
