Answer:

k = 2,04x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The equilibrium of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) in water is:

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺.

And the equilibrium constant is defined as:

k = [CH₃COO⁻] [H⁺] / [CH₃COOH] <em>(1)</em>

The equiibrium concentration of each specie if the solution of acetic acid is 0,05M is:

[CH₃COOH] = 0,05M - x

[CH₃COO⁻] = x

[H⁺] = x

<em>-Where x is the degree of reaction progress-</em>

As the pH is 3, [H⁺] = 1x10⁻³M. That means x =  1x10⁻³M

Replacing in (1):

k = (1x10⁻³)² / 0,05 - 1x10⁻³

k = 1x10⁻⁶ / 0,049

<em>k = 2,04x10⁻⁵</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Dehydration is a reversible process. Which of the two set-ups, distillation or
Nata [24]

Answer:

             Distillation will generate the most cyclohexene.

Explanation:

                     Let us assume following attached reaction for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol which attains equilibrium after certain time.

As shown in figure the cyclohexanol upon treatment with phosphoric acid undergoes dehydration reaction (removal of water) and produces cyclohexene. On the other hand cyclohexene reacts with water (hydration reaction) and produces cyclohexanol.

Now, if this reaction is allowed in a single flask it will attain equilibrium and will not generate the cyclohexene in high quantity. On the other hand if we apply <em>Le Chatelier's principle</em> ( <u><em>removal of product moves the equilibrium in right direction</em></u>) and distillate cyclohexene (boiling the cyclohexene to convert it into vapors and then collect it after condensation) will move the reaction in forward direction and will allow us to generate cyclohexene in high amounts.

Vitreous humor is located wear?​
Vikentia [17]

Eye

Explanation:

Vitreous humor is found in the human eye and other animals.

It is a gel that fills the space between the lens and retina of the eye. This matter helps to keep the shape of the eye in place by maintaining a constant pressure in the eye.

It is typically made up of water, gelatinous and transparent.

What is the difference between a contractor and a starter
Lunna [17]
"A contactor is a electrically controlled switch which uses an electromagnetic coil to pull in the contacts.”

"A motor starter is a contactor, plus an overload relay that will drop out the coil voltage if the motor overloads. If there is not overload relay, it is not a starter any longer, it's back to being just a contactor."

ololo11 [35]

Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past.

Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today.

Usually only a portion of an organism is preserved as a fossil, such as body fossils (bones and exoskeletons ), trace fossils (feces and footprints), and chemofossils (biochemical signals).

Paleontologists can determine the age of fossils using methods like radiometric dating and categorize them to determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms.
