Answer:

B. 0.174

Explanation:

A buffer is formed by a weak acid (CH₃COOH) and its conjugate base (CH₃COO⁻, coming from sodium acetate). We can calculate the pH of this buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pH = pKa + log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

pH - pKa = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

3.98 - (-log 1.80 × 10⁻⁵) = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

-0.760 = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH] = anti log (-0.760)

[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH] = 0.174

Answer:

A. Nonmetals have relatively high ionization energies.

Explanation:

Nonmetals have high ionization energies because they tend to gain electrons in order to fill their outer shell. Also, the electrons are closer to the nucleus and require more energy to remove them.

Hope that helps.

Here are approximately 15 milliliters (mL) in 1 tablespoon (tbsp).
jolli1 [7]
<span>If there are 15 mL in 1 tablespoon, then 3 tablespoons should have triple the volume as originally stated.
   Note in all of the four choices, the units simplify to mL because tbsp x ml/tbsp = mL (tbsp/tbsp = 1)
   The second and third choice give ultimately the same, incorrect value. The fourth option gives an incorrect fraction - there are not 15 mL for every tablespoon. The correct answer is 1 tbsp x 15mL/3tbsp</span>

Which block on the periodic table contains the actinide series of elements?
viktelen [127]
F BLOCK is the block on the period table that contains the actinide series of elements.

Actinide series of elements are two rows under the periodic table which include Lanthanide series and Actinide series. These are all radioactive elements and all of these are not not found in nature. All these are included in F block element.
