Answer:

Explanation:

A solution with a pH value of 7 is neutral i.e neither acidic nor alkaline. A solution with a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic, while one with a pH value more than 7 is alkaline. Acidity increases as the value decrease below 7, while alkalinity increases as the value increase about 7.

Given that H2A is a diprotic weak acid have pKa values of 5.0 ad 9.0, it will undergo dissociation in the solution as:

NOTE: These reactions are reversible reactions.

\mathbf{H_2A \to H^+ + HA^-   \ \ \ pKa = 5.0}

\mathbf{HA^- \to H^+ +A^{2-}  \ \ \ pKa = 9.0}

Thus;

The primary species is HA⁻

The secondary species is A²⁻

Demonstrate your knowledge of waves.Describe the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Give an example of eac
4vir4ik [10]

There are some methods that differentiate waves; one thing is by its medium. Electromagnetic waves did not require a medium for transmission such as in a vacuum while mechanical waves require a medium to travel such as air, water or anything that can serve as a transmission aid.  

The most common sample of EM waves in telecommunication is radio, light and infra-red signals. An example of a mechanical wave is a sound wave, which requires air to travel. Oscillating molecules made the sound waves.
