Answer:

P_H =2.86

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

C_3H_6O_3  ⇄ C_3H_5O_3^{-}  +H^{+}

assuming degree of dissociation \alpha =1/10;

and initial concentraion of C_3H_6O_3 =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha

[C_3H_5O_3^{-}  ]= c\alpha

[H^{+}] = c\alpha

K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}

\alpha is very small so 1-\alpha can be neglected

and equation is;

K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}

[H^{+}] = c\alpha = \frac{K_a}{\alpha}

P_H =- log[H^{+} ]

P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha

K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}

\alpha = \frac{1}{10}

P_H= 3.86-1

P_H =2.86

composiion ;

c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]

[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)

[H^{+} ] =0.0014

c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

What part of a flowering plant becomes fruit?<br><br> seed<br> ovary<br> stem<br> spore
lord [1]

Answer:

the ovary

Explanation:

The fertilized ovule becomes the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit. Petals are also important parts of the flower, because they help attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies and bats. You can also see tiny green leaf-like parts called sepals at the base of the flower.

Calculate the energy provided by a slice of bread containing 2 g of protein, 1 g of fat, and 20 g of carbohydrate. record your a
vichka [17]
 the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram 
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g 
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g 
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal
