Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>

An aqueous solution of licl is 34.0 % licl. what mass of water is present in 250.0 g of the solution? (density of water is 1.00
adell [148]
<span>If the aqueous solution is 34% Licl then it is 100 - 34% water = 66% From the calculation we've found out that it is 66% water. Then we need to find the weight from a 250 g solution. 66/100 * 250 = 165g Hence it is 165g</span>

Can you use active transport in a sentence
otez555 [7]

Active transport is the moving of molecules across the membrane of the cell against the concentration gradient with the use of ATP.

Low to high concentration. Concentration gradient is the diffusion (movement of molecules from regions of low concentration) from high to low with the gradient. Active transport is from low to high, against the gradient.
