Answer:

5.56 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.187 M
  • pH of the solution: 3.99

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3.99 = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)

We will use the following expression.

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} }{Ca} = \frac{(1.02 \times 10^{-4})^{2} }{0.187} = 5.56 \times 10^{-8}

"the charcoal from a tree killed in the volcanic eruption that formed cedar lake in oregon contained 44.5% of the carbon-14 foun
nalin [4]
The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass). 
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
    n = log 0.445/log 0.5
    n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years

When 1000 C of charge is passed through CuSO4 solution, x g of copper is deposited. How much charge should be passed through the
Stels [109]

Number of charge = 5018 C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1000 C of charge for x grams of copper

Required

Number of charge

Solution

Faraday's Law :

\tt W=\dfrac{e.i.t}{96500}\\\\W=\dfrac{e.Q}{96500}

For 1000 C, W = x grams

\tt x=\dfrac{1000.e}{96500}=0.0104e

For 5x grams :

\tt 5x=\dfrac{e.Q}{96500}\\\\5\times 0.0104e=\dfrac{e.Q}{96500}\\\\Q=\dfrac{96500\times 5\times 0.0104e}{e}=5018~C

Which combinations form compounds?
Elina [12.6K]

Elements combine to form chemical compounds that are often divided into two categories. Metals often react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds. These compounds are composed of positive and negative ions formed by adding or subtracting electrons from neutral atoms and molecules.
