Answer:

4.1x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The dissociation of an acid is a reversible reaction, and, because of that, it has an equilibrium constant, Ka. For a generic acid (HA), the dissociation happens by:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

So, if x moles of the acid dissociates, x moles of H⁺ and x moles of A⁻ is formed. the percent of dissociation of the acid is:

% = (dissociated/total)*100%

4.4% = (x/[HA])*100%

But x = [A⁻], so:

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.044

The pH of the acid can be calcualted by the Handersson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

3.03 = pKa + log 0.044

pKa = 3.03 - log 0.044

pKa = 4.39

pKa = -logKa

logKa = -pKa

Ka = 10^{-pKa}

Ka = 10^{-4.39}

Ka = 4.1x10⁻⁵

If 125 ml of o2 gas exerts a pressure of 1.0 atm inside a cylinder, what will the pressure be if the cylinder compressed the vol
Lelu [443]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The new pressure is 1.67 atm.

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement, we know that the temperature remains constant and the gas volume is changing, meaning that the new pressure will be different than the first pressure.

Since the temperature remains constant, we can calculate the new pressure using the Boyle's Law.

The Boyle's Law states that:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

Where,  

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

Then, the given information is:

V_{1}=125ml=0.125L\\P_{1}=1atm\\V_{2}=75ml=0.075L

Remember, 1 L is equal to 1000 mL.

So,

125mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{125mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.125L\\\\75mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{75mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.075L

So, calculating the new volume, we have:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}\\\\1atm*0.125L=P_{2}*0.075L\\\\P_{2}=\frac{1atm*0.125L}{0.075l}=1.67atm

Hence, the new pressure is 1.67 atm.

Have a nice day!

A neutral atom has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Which of the following correctly represents the atom? A) carbon-16 B) oxygen-16 C
bija089 [108]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).
