Answer:

[H^+]=0.00332M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the dissociation of valeric acid as:

HC_5H_9O_2 \rightleftharpoons C_5H_9O_2 ^-+H^+

Its corresponding law of mass action is:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][C_5H_9O_2^-]}{[HC_5H_9O_2]}

Now, by means of the change x due to dissociation, it becomes:

Ka=\frac{(x)(x)}{0.737-x}=1.5x10^{-5}

Solving for x we obtain:

x=0.00332M

Thus, since the concentration of hydronium equals x, the answer is:

[H^+]=x=0.00332M

Best regards.

How does distance affect work pls quick its 15 points pls keep it short pls help!!!!
ra1l [238]
The simple equation used to calculate work is force multiplied by distance, thus as this is the case increasing the distance by a certain amount, assuming the force applied to the object is constant, the amount of work you are doing on the box for instance pushing it, is going to be greater

Since you are pushing the box with the same force covering a greater distance with the force.

What is the product of the unbalanced equation below?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The answer is D. I'm not sure that it is a solid. I don't think it is a ppte, which is the only way it can be a true solid. It is ionic if the reaction is taking place in water and there is someway to start the reaction. Be that as it may, the internal balace numbers of the chemical produced is the only possible answer. The balanced eq;uatioon is

2Al + 3Br2 ==> 2AlBr3

In order to change a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas, what is needed?
AfilCa [17]
Latent heat, also called the heat of vaporization, is the amount of energy necessary to change a liquid to a vapour at constant temperature and pressure. The energy required to melt a solid to a liquid is called the heat of fusion
