Dustin is mixing concrete. A formula for concrete calls for 3/8 gal of water. Dustin wants to make 7/9 more concrete than the fo

We can use a ratio to solve this question. Lets refer to the amount formed by the formula as a serving
1 serving needs 3/8 gal
We want to create 7/9 servings extra, so
1 + 7/9 = 16/7
1 : 3/8
16/7 : x
1/(3/8) = (16/7) / x
8 / 3 = 16x / 7
x = 7/6
He needs to use 7/6 gallons of water.

(b) The conductivity of a 0.01 mol dm–3 solution of a monobasic organic acid in water is 5.07 × 10–2 S m–1. If the molar conduct

Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (NaCl) = $1.264 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (H-O=C-ONO) = $1.046 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (HCl) = $4.261 \times 10^{-2}$

Conductivity of monobasic acid is $5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}$

Concentration = 0.01 $mol/dm^{3}$

Therefore, molar conductivity ( $\Lambda_{m}$ ) of monobasic acid is calculated as follows.

$\Lambda_{m} = \frac{conductivity}{concentration}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol/dm^{3}}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol \times 10^{3}}$

= $5.07 \times 10^{-3} S m^{2} mol^{-1}$

Also, $\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ = $\Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(HCl)} + \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(H-O=C-ONO)} - \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(NaCl)}$

= $4.261 \times 10^{-2} + 1.046 \times 10^{-2} - 1.264 \times 10^{-2}$

= $4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}$

Relation between degree of dissociation and molar conductivity is as follows.

$\alpha = \frac{\Lambda_{m}}{\Lambda^{o}_{m}}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}}$

= 0.1254

Whereas relation between acid dissociation constant and degree of dissociation is as follows.

K = $\frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}$

Putting the values into the above formula we get the following.

K = $\frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}$

= $\frac{0.01 \times (0.1254)^{2}}{1 - 0.1254}$

= $0.017973 \times 10^{-2}$

= $1.7973 \times 10^{-4}$

Hence, the acid dissociation constant is $1.7973 \times 10^{-4}$ .

Also, relation between $pK_{a}$ and $K_{a}$ is as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

= $-log (1.7973 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.7454

Therefore, value of $pK_{a}$ is 3.7454.

What is the acceleration of a 50kg object pushed with a force of 500 Newton’s

olasank [31]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{500}{50} = \frac{50}{5} = 10 \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A carpenter uses sandpaper on a piece of wood. Before, the wood felt rough. After, the wood felt smooth. Did the friction betwee

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

<em>Friction between the hand and the wood decreased.</em>

Explanation:

The texture of the wood went from rough → smooth! This means friction between the hand and the wood was notably decreased.

According to this prompt, the carpenter used <em>sandpaper </em>against the wood. Sandpaper just so happens to be a very abrasive substance. The sandpaper polished and leveled out the wood which wore all the jutting bits away.- overall, making it much smoother and more pleasant to touch!
