Answer: They are newly evolved traits.

Explanation:

A shared character can be define as the character which is shared between the two lineages and that is common. A derived character can be define as the character that is evolved in the lineage leading to the formation of the clade that are common to the set members of the clade except from other individuals.

On the basis of the above explanation, They are newly evolved traits. is the correct option.

False that atom is the smallest identifiable unit of a compound.

The smallest identifiable unit of a compound is the Element. Element is the one which make up the compound and element is made up by atoms. Example of element is oxygen and hydrogen which make up water (H2O) which is a compound.

Calculate the ph at of a solution of sodium hypochlorite . note that hypochlorous acid is a weak acid with a of . round your ans

loris [4]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH at 25°C of a 0.39 M solution of sodium hypochlorite NaClO. Note that hypochlorous acid HClO is a weak acid with a pKa of 7.50. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answer: The pH of the solution is 10.4

Explanation:

We are given:

Molarity of sodium hypochlorite = 0.39 M

$pK_a$ of HClO = 7.50

We know that:

$pK_a=-\log K_a$

$K_a$ of HClO = $10^{-7.50}=3.16\times 10^{-8}$

To calculate the base dissociation constant for the given acid dissociation constant, we use the equation:

$K_w=K_b\times K_a$

where,

$K_w$ = Ionic product of water = $10^{-14}$

$K_a$ = Acid dissociation constant = $3.16\times 10^{-8}$

$K_b$ = Base dissociation constant

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10^{-14}=3.16\times 10^{-8}\times K_b\\\\K_b=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.16\times 10^{-8}}=3.16\times 10^{-7}$

The chemical equation for the reaction of hypochlorite ion with water follows:

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

Initial: 0.39

At eqllm: 0.39-x x x

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[HClO][OH^-]}{[ClO^-]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.16\times 10^{-7}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.39-x)}\\\\x=-0.00035,0.00035$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=0.00035M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log (0.00035)=3.6$

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-3.6=10.4$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.4

Which change in the h+ ion concentration of an aqueous solution represents a decrease of one unit on the ph scale?

melisa1 [442]

The answer would be a tenfold increase
The pH scale is calculated based on the concentration of H+ ion in the solution. The formula is using log10, so to decrease 1 unit from the scale it will be 10^1= 10 fold of increase. For 2 unit, you will need 10^2= 100 fold of increase.
