Explanation:

Ka is the acid dissociation constant. pKa is simply the -log of this constant.

Mathematically;

pKa = - log Ka

Ka = 10^-pKa

a. acid a has a pka of 6.0 what is its ka?

Ka = 10^-6 = 10⁻⁶

b. acid b has a pka of 8.60 whats its ka?

Ka = 10^-8.6 = 2.51e⁻⁹

c. acid c has a pka of -2.0 whats its ka?

Ka = 10^-(-2) = 10^2 = 100

Sodium carbonate (NaCO3) is sometimes used as a water-softening agent. Suppose that a worker prepares a 0.730 M solution of NaCO
sergey [27]

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a substance divided by the volume in liters prepared.

molarity=\frac{n}{V}, where n is number of moles and V is the volume in liters.

In order to calculate the mass of solute we need to convert the volume and molarity to moles

1.421 L solution \times\frac{0.0730 moles}{1 Lsolution}= 1.037 mol NaCO_3

Now that we have moles we use the relative formula mass of NaCO₃, We have 1 Na atom, 1 C atom and 3 O atoms, thus

M_r= (1\times 22.99) + (1\times 12.00) + (3\times 16.00)= 82.99g/mol

1.037 \times\frac{82.99g}{mol} = 86.1g

ladessa [460]
Answer is: carbon.

<span>During gamma emission the nucleus emits radiation without changing its composition, if for example have nucleus with six protons and six neutrons (carbon atom) and after gamma decay there is nucleus with six protons and six neutrons.
Gamma rays are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths (1 pm), highest frequencies (300 EHz) and highest energy (1,24 MeV).</span>

What are these associated with the solar wind
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. ... Its particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy resulting from the high temperature of the corona, which in turn is a result of the coronal magnetic field.

A balloon contains 2.0 L of air at 101.5 kPa . You squeeze the balloon to a volume of 0.25 L.
8_murik_8 [283]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

812 kPa

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • According to Boyle's law pressure and volume of a fixed mass are inversely proportional at constant absolute temperature.
  • Mathematically, P\alpha \frac{1}{V}

At varying pressure and volume;

P1V1=P2V2

In this case;

Initial volume, V1 = 2.0 L

Initial pressure, P1 = 101.5 kPa

Final volume, V1 = 0.25 L

We are required to determine the new pressure;

P2=\frac{P1V1}{V2}

Replacing the known variables with the values;

P2=\frac{(101.5)(2.0L)}{0.25L}

           = 812 kPa

Thus, the pressure of air inside the balloon after squeezing is 812 kPa
