Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Use the activity formula,  

T1/2 = 4.468 x 10^9 yr x 365 x 24 x 3600 = 1.409 x 10^17 sec  

l = ln(2)/T1/2 = ln(2)/1.409 x 10^17 = 4.91932697 x 10^-18 s-1  

DN/Dt = lN, 265 = 4.91932697 x 10^-18 x N  

<u><em>N = 5.38 x 10^19 nuclei</em></u>

What are stars and galaxy made of?
goldfiish [28.3K]
What are stars made of? Basically, stars are big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. Our nearest star, the Sun, is so hot that the huge amount of hydrogen is undergoing a constant star-wide nuclear reaction, like in a hydrogen bomb.

In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a "bulge-shape" and a "halo," but do not have a "disk.

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.8
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Complete Question

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.82 when exactly 13 mL of base had been added, you notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M. What is the pKa of your unknown acid?

Answer:

The pK_a value is pK_a  =7.82

Explanation:

From the question we are told

    The volume of base is  V_B = 26.mL = 0.0260L

     The pH of solution is  pH =  7.82

      The concentration of the acid is C_A = 0.1M

From the pH we can see that the titration is between a strong base and a weak acid

 Let assume that the the volume of acid is  V_A = 18mL= 0.018L

Generally the concentration of base

                    C_B = \frac{C_AV_A}{C_B}

Substituting value  

                     C_B = \frac{0.1 * 0.01800}{0.0260}

                    C_B= 0.0692M

When 13mL of the base is added a buffer is formed

The chemical equation of the reaction is

           HA_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)} --------> A^{+}_{(aq)} + H_2 O_{(l)}

Now before the reaction the number of mole of base is  

            No \ of \ moles[N_B]  =  C_B * V_B

Substituting value  

                    N_B = 0.01300 * 0.0692

                         = 0.0009 \ moles    

                                 

Now before the reaction the number of mole of acid is  

            No \ of \ moles  =  C_B * V_B

Substituting value  

                    N_A = 0.01800 *0.1

                         = 0.001800 \ moles

Now after the reaction the number of moles of  base is  zero  i.e has been used up

    this mathematically represented as

                         N_B ' = N_B - N_B = 0

    The  number of moles of acid is  

             N_A ' = N_A  - N_B

                   = 0.0009\ moles

The pH of this reaction can be mathematically represented as

                 pH  = pK_a + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}

Substituting values

                  7.82 = pK_a +log \frac{0.0009}{0.0009}

                  pK_a  =7.82
