<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.

Applying a force for a longer time increases the change in
morpeh [17]

Answer:

velocity and momentum

Explanation:

as you exert force, the object accelerates, hence, its velocity increases.

since momentum is mass times velocity, the momentum increases too

can you get pur alcohol from the mixture of alcohol and water using simple distillation process ? explain the process.​
Mamont248 [21]
You can use fractional distillation which is when you a liquid from a mixture of two or more liquids. we can use their boiling points, alcohol has a boils at 87 celsius which is lower than waters boiling point, 100 celsius. when bringing the mixture to a boil, alcohol will escape first and be trapped and distilled. when the alcohol is still boiling the temp stays at 87 and doesnt rise. the temp only rises when the alcohol evaporates.
