<h2>K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}</h2>

Explanation:

  • When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-

        {\displaystyle {\ce {HA  ⇄  {H^+}+{A^{-}}}  }}

Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid, CH_3COOH

  • The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
  • The acid dissociation constant can be given by -

        K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

  • The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -

         \\{\displaystyle {\ce {{HA}+ H_2O} ⇄  [H_3O^+] [A^-]

  • Then the dissociation constant will be

        K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

Here, K_a is the dissociation constant of an acid.

Answer:

601mmhg

Explanation:

Pgas = Patm - hρg

Height of water = 14.4cm

Convert to mm

1 cm = 10mm

14.4 cm =

= 14.4cm × 10mm

= 144mm

hpg = 144 mmhg

Ptotal = Patm - hog

= 745mmhg - 144 mmhg

= 601mmhg

The total pressure of gases inside the graduated cylinder = 601mmhg

What happens to energy and temperature when molecules collide
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

As temperature increases, molecules gain energy and move faster and faster. Therefore, the greater the temperature, the higher the probability that molecules will be moving with the necessary activation energy for a reaction to occur upon collision.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "4.08 × 10⁻¹⁹ Joule".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength, λ = 486.0 nm

As we know,

E=h\upsilon =\frac{hc}{\lambda}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒          =\frac{1241.5 \ ev\ nm}{486 \ nm}

⇒          =2.554 \ ev

∴ 1 ev = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now,

Energy, E=2.554\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}

⇒               =4.08\times 10^{-19} Joule
