The reaction during the transition point is:

HInd ⇄ H⁺ + Ind⁻

Such that

Ka = [H⁺][Ind⁻]/[HInd]

At transition point, HInd = Ind⁻, so what's left is H⁺. We determine H⁺ from the midpoint of the pH range given. The solution is as follows:

Midpoint = (5.2+6.8)/2 = 6
pH = -logH⁺
6 = -logH⁺
H⁺ = <em>1×10⁻⁶ = Ka</em>

The  {{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}} of bromocresol purple is \boxed{{\text{0}}{\text{.000001}}}.

Further explanation:

Indicator:

An indicator is any substance that indicates the presence or absence of a chemical species such as an acid or an alkali in the solution, usually by a color change. Methyl orange, methyl yellow, thymol blue, bromocresol purple are some examples of indicators.

Bromocresol purple (BCP) is an example of pH indicator and is a dye of the triphenylmethane family. It is also known as 5’, 5”-dibromo-o-cresolsulfophthalein. It is yellow below pH 5.2 and its color becomes violet above pH 6.8.

pH:

The acidic strength of an acid can be determined by pH value. The negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration is defined as pH of the solution. Lower the pH value of an acid, the stronger will be the acid. Acidic solutions are likely to have pH less than 7. Basic or alkaline solutions have pH more than 7. Neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.

The formula to calculate pH of an acid is as follows:

{\text{pH}}=-{\text{log}}\left[{{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]                                                              …… (1)

Here,

\left[{{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right] is hydrogen ion concentration.

The general dissociation reaction of BCP is as follows:

 {\text{HBCP}}\rightleftharpoons{{\text{H}}^ + }+{\text{BC}}{{\text{P}}^ - }

Here,

HBCP is the indicator in undissociated form.

{{\text{H}}^ + } is hydrogen ion.

{\text{BC}}{{\text{P}}^ - } is the indicator in ionized form.

The formula to calculate the equilibrium constant of HBCP is as follows:

{{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}=\dfrac{{\left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]\left[ {{\text{BC}}{{\text{P}}^ - }} \right]}}{{\left[{{\text{HBCP}}}\right]}}      ...... (2)

Here,

 {{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}is the dissociation constant of HBCP.

 [HBCP] is the concentration of undissociated bromocresol purple.

 \left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right] is hydrogen ion concentration.

 \left[{{\text{BC}}{{\text{P}}^ - }}\right] is the concentration of dissociated bromocresol purple.

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate \left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right] .

\left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]={10^{ - {\text{pH}}}}       ...... (3)                                                                     …… (3)

Bromocresol purple is an indicator whose pH ranges from 5.2 to 6.8. So its mid pH can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{pH}}&=\dfrac{{5.2 + 6.8}}{2}\\&=\frac{{12}}{2}\\&=6\\\end{aligned}

So the pH of BCP is 6.

Substitute 6 for pH in equation (3).

\begin{aligned}\left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]&={10^{ - 6}}\\&=0.000001\;{\text{M}}\\\end{aligned}

 

At the endpoint,  [HBCP] becomes equal to \left[{{\text{BC}}{{\text{P}}^ - }}\right] . So equation (2) becomes,

{{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}=\left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]                                      …… (4)

Substitute 0.000001 M for \left[{{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right] in equation (4).

 {{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}=0.000001

So the value of {{\mathbf{K}}_{\mathbf{a}}}  for bromocresol purple is 0.000001.

mart [117]

Answer:

    f =1 10⁸ Hz

Explanation:

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is given by

          c = Lam f

In our case, the wavelength is 3.0 m, so we can clear the frequency

         f = c / Lam

         f = 3 108/3.

         f =1 10⁸ Hz

A 2 kg mass is free falling in the negative Y direction when a 10 N force is exerted in the minus X direction. What is the accel
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The mass's acceleration is 5 m/s^2 in the minus X direction and 9,8 m/s^2 in the minus Y direction.

Explanation:

By applying the second Newton's law in the X and Y direction we found that in the minus X direction an external force of 10 N is exerted, while in the minus Y direction the gravity acceleration is acting:

X-direction balance force: -10 [N] = m.ax

Y-direction balance force: -m*9,8 \frac{m}{s^2} = m.ay

Where ax and ay are the components of the respective acceleration and m is the mass. By solving for each acceleration:

ax=(-10 [N]) / m

ay=-m*9,8\frac{m}{s^2} / m

Note that for the second equation above the mass is cancelled and, the Y direction acceleration is minus the gravity acceleration:

ay=-9,8\frac{m}{s^2}

For the x component aceleration we must replace the Newton unit:

N =\frac{kg.m}{s^2}

ax= -10 \frac{kg.m}{s^2} / (2 kg)

ax= - 5 \frac{m}{s^2}

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
MrMuchimi

D. Redefine the machine’s system boundaries.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created not destroyed. Energy, however, can be changed from one form to another. The law applies to isolated systems only. By redefining and expanding the system (including all factors affecting it) , the machine's ability to do work should improve.

State the law of conservation of momentum<br>​
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Law of conservation of momentum states that. For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.
