<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.

This particle determines what element you have - the element's identity.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

protons

These particles do not vary in quality from one element to another; rather, what gives an element its distinctive identification is the quantity of its protons, called its atomic number. Protons and neutrons contribute nearly all of an atom's mass; the number of protons and neutrons is an element's mass number

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?​
Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.

What are the units used to measure specific heat capacity?
Andrews [41]

The units used to measure specific heat capacity is Joules per kilogram per Kelvin.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

It is the amount of heat absorbed per kilogram of material when the temperature rises by 1 Kelvin.

Specific heat capacity C is the Joules of energy in form of heat per kilogram per Kelvin temperature. The units represented by

C = ___ J/kg.K

Thus, the units used to measure specific heat capacity is Joules per kilogram per Kelvin.
