Explanation:

The pKa value of acetic acid is determined experimentally by plotting pH titration curve.

The hydrogen ion, H+ concentration can be determined by performing a pH titration of a weak acid with a strong base like NaOH etc.

Starting from the dissociation equation for the acid,

HA(aq) + OH-(aq) --> H3O+(aq) + A−(aq)

we obtain for the point of half equivalence (where half of the acid has reacted with the base):

[A−] = [HA].

From the equilibrium equation

it therefore follows that

pKa = pH.

CH4 + 2O2 -> 2H2O + CO2

You need to add a 2 in front of the O2 and H2O in order to balance the equation.

How many molecules are in a 2.1 mol of H2O? *

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The mole is the SI unit for amount of a substance.

Explanation:

Just like the dozen and the gross, it is a name that stands for a number. There are therefore 6.02 × 10 23 water molecules in a mole of water molecules.
