<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.

What gives bases their properties?
svp [43]
Bases are iconic compounds that produce negative hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.... Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.

Air containing 20.0 mol% water vapor at an initial pressure of 1 atm absolute is cooled in a 1- liter sealed vessel from 200°C t
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

This solution is quite lengthy

Total system = nRT

n was solved to be 0.02575

nH20 = 0.2x0.02575

= 0.00515

Nair = 0.0206

PH20 = 0.19999

Pair = 1-0.19999

= 0.80001

At 15⁰c

Pair = 0.4786atm

I used antoine's equation to get pressure

The pressure = 0.50

2. Moles of water vapor = 0.0007084

Moles of condensed water = 0.0044416

Grams of condensed water = 0.07994

Please refer to attachment. All solution is in there.

Annie has a soccer ball and a kickball she kicks each ball with the same force the soccer ball accelerates at 3 m/s to the secon
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Because of less weight kick ball has more acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration of kick ball:

5 m/s

Acceleration of soccer ball:

3 m/s

Newton's second law:

According to newton's second law the acceleration of object depends upon two variables.

1) Mass of object

2) Force acting on it

Mathematical expression:

a = f/m

a = acceleration

f = force

m = mass

The force on balls are same thus the acceleration is depend upon the masses of balls.

The soccer ball has more weight that's why its acceleration is less while kick ball is lighter and thus its acceleration will more.

I bet no one can solve this
Nikitich [7]
The answer is 89.4 g/mol cuz the two units carry positives so that means 8.50 flows for 2 more hours than usual.

10. Copper(i) bromide reacts with magnesium metal: 2 CuBr + Mg → 2 Cu + MgBrz
velikii [3]

Answer:

72.6 grams

Explanation:

I got this answer through stoichiometry.  For every 1 mole of Mg, 2 moles of CuBr are consumed.  Because of this, multiply the moles of Mg by 2.  Then, convert moles to grams.
