Answer:

pKa=3.58

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH defines the concentration of hydrogen:

pH=-log([H^+])

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.4}=3.98x10^{-4}

And the percent ionization is:

\% \ ionization=\frac{[H^+]}{[HA]}*100\%

We compute the concentration of the acid, HA:

[HA]=\frac{[H^+]}{\% \ ionization}*100\%=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}}{66\%}  *100\%\\\\

[HA]=6.03x10^{-4}

Thus, the Ka is:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}*3.98x10^{-4}}{6.03x10^{-4}}\\  \\Ka=2.63x10^{-4}

So the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(2.63x10^{-4})\\\\pKa=3.58

Regards.

What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward
S_A_V [24]
Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion: 

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward. 

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion. 

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand. 

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

An ion of iron has an 26 protons, 30 neutrons, and 23 electrons. What are its atomic number, atomic mass, and net charge?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Atomic number 26,atomic mass 26+30=56 dalton and net charge is 3+

Explanation:

The total number of proton present in an atom is known as the atomic number of that atom.From that point of view the atomic number of iron ion is 26.

  The total number proton and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom or ion is termed as atomic mass.From that point of view the the atomic mass of iron ion is 26+30=56 dalton

 According to the given question iron ion contain 3 more protons than electrons as a result the iron ion will contain 3 unit positive charge.

State whether the following statements are true or false. If false, explain why. (a) A reaction stops when equilibrium is reache
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(a) False;

(b) False;

(c) False;

(d) True.

Explanation:

(a) When equilibrium is reached, the forward reaction rate becomes equal to the reverse reaction rate, that's why the molarity of each species remains constant, but reactions don't stop.

(b) According to the principle of Le Chatelier, an increase in molarity of either reactants or products would lead to a disturbance of equilibrium. This disturbance would lead to the shift of equilibrium towards the side which would minimize such a disturbance.

(c) Equilibrium constant is only temperature-dependent, it's independent of molarity, pressure, volume etc. of any species present in the reaction.

(d) The greater the initial molarity of reactants, the more products can be formed, e. g., since the ratio of products to reactants should be kept constant, the larger the amount of reactants, the greater the amount of products formed to keep a constant ratio.
