A 0.25-mol sample of a weak acid with an unknown Pka was combined with 10.0-mL of 3.00 M KOH, and the resulting solution was dil
Masteriza [31]

Answer : The value of pK_a of the weak acid is, 4.72

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of KOH.

\text{Moles of }KOH=\text{Concentration of }KOH\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }KOH=3.00M\times 10.0mL=30mmol=0.03mol

Now we have to calculate the value of pK_a of the weak acid.

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

                          HA+KOH\rightleftharpoons HK+H_2O

Initial moles     0.25     0.03        0

At eqm.    (0.25-0.03)   0.03      0.03

                     = 0.22

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[HK]}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

3.85=pK_a+\log (\frac{0.03}{0.22})

pK_a=4.72

Therefore, the value of pK_a of the weak acid is, 4.72

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is -  Positive charge occupies a very small volume in the atom.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford's experiments exhibited the presence of the nuclear core: a small region with the greater part of the mass of the atom and the positive charge.  

Rutherford's gold foil analyze gave three conclusions:  

- the particle is generally vacant space  

- in it is a little, thick core  or dense nucleus

- the core is positively charged.
