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!

Why don't siblings look exactly alike
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Your genes play a big role in making you who you are. ... But brothers and sisters don't look exactly alike because everyone (including parents) actually has two copies of most of their genes. And these copies can be different. Parents pass one of their two copies of each of their genes to their kids.

What is the relationship between a scientific theory and a scientific law
grigory [225]
A scientific theory focuses on explaining a phenomenon, while a law will have a generalised statement about said phenomenon. Often times, we use laws to help us develop theories. =)

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>
