Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa

Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.

Answer:

D) An acid with a small pKa is stronger than an acid with a large pKa

Explanation:

Hi, the acity constant (Ka) gives an idea of the strenght of an acid. The higher the Ka, the stronger the acid.

The indicator pKa is obtained by the following formula:

pKa=-\log{Ka}

Due to the logarithm, when the Ka increases, the pKa decreases.

<u>Putting all this toghether</u>: An acid with a large Ka has a small pKa and is stronger than an acid with a small Ka (large pKa).

So the correct statement is D

What is avogrados number and why is it useful
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Avogadro's number is 6.022×1023 molecules. With Avogadro's number, scientists can discuss and compare very large numbers, which is useful because substances in everyday quantities contain very large numbers of atoms and molecules.

How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element
yaroslaw [1]

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
