Nitrous acid<span> dissociates as follows:
</span>
HNO₂(s) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) 
           
According to the equation, an acid constant has the following form:

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻ ] / [HNO₂] 

From pH, we can calculate the concentration of H⁺ and NO₂⁻:

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.63 = 0.00234 M = [NO₂⁻]

Now, the acid constant can be calculated:

Ka = 0.00234 x 0.00234 / 0.015  = 3.66 x 10⁻⁴

And finally,

pKa = -log Ka = 3.44

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Taking into account the scientific notation,  the result of the subtraction is 6.5×10⁵.

<h3>Scientific notation</h3>

First, remember that scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

  • a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
  • n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
<h3 /><h3>Subtraction in scientific notation</h3>

You want to subtract two numbers in scientific notation. It should be noted that when the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is 5.

Then all the values ​​are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 5.00×10⁴=0.500×10⁵

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is subtract what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

7.00×10⁵ - 0.500×10⁵= (7.00- 0.500)×10⁵= 6.5×10⁵

Finally, the result of the subtraction is 6.5×10⁵.

ElenaW [278]
If you need half the volume, you need double the pressure (V * p). Normal air pressure in the atmosphere is 101300 Pa so that means you need double that, thus 202600 Pa (or 2,026 bars)

How much energy is released when 65.8 g of water freezes
Delvig [45]

The amount of energy released is calculated by the product of heat of fusion and mass. The formula of amount energy released is given by: q= L\times m                (1)

Here,  

q is amount of energy released L is heat of fusion (334 J/g) m is mass of water Put all the given values in equation (1)

q= 334 J/g \times 65.8 g

q= 21977.2 Joules ≅ 21977 Joules

q= 21977 Joules

Thus, amount of energy released is 21977 Joules
