Answer:

The pH is 4.76 (option C)

Explanation:

pH of a solution = TO BE DETERMNED

[sodium acetate] = 1M   ;   [acetic acid] = 1M

K = [H+] [A-] / [HA] 

K = [H+] [1] / [1] 

K = H  

pH = pK

⇒ now pH is equal to pK

⇒ The value of pK is given which is 4.76

⇒ This means the value of the pH is also 4.76

What chemical property must argon have to make it a suitable choice for light bulbs?
Sedbober [7]
Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.

Which of the following are acids by the Bronsted-Lowry Definition:
olga55 [171]

ANSWER IS (A)

EXPLANATION:

Bronsted-Lowry concept states that a substance is an acid if it can act as a H+ donor.

HCl in aqueous solution means that HCl is present in water, HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-.  This reaction will take place, the H+ from HCl will be donated to H2O. So, HCl is a bronsted-lowry acid by definition.


However, Methanol (CH3OH) its written that it is liquid, i.e. pure methanol, CH3OH(l).  It is both acidic as well as basic. when it is mixed with water then it behaves as an acid.

The last one ammonia in gas phase is also neutral because its not in water. if mixed in water it behaves as a base.

Increasing the concentration of a reactant shifts the position of a chemical equilibrium towards formation of more products. wha
Natalija [7]
<h2>The required "option is e)".</h2>

Explanation:

  • The Rate of formation of products depends on the concentration of reactants or the forward reaction increases on increasing the rate of the concentration.
  • There is no effect on the equilibrium rate when the concentration of reactants and products is constant.
  • Forward reaction slows down when the reactant concentration is decreased.
  • On increasing the amount or concentration of reactant the chemical  equilibrium shifts towards formation of more products.
  • Hence, the forward reaction speeds up.

Energy in Devices. An engineer needs to design a device that transforms light energy into sound energy. Describe a design for a
N76 [4]

Answer:

built a special cavity where the electromagnetic quantum states resonate with the natural vibrations of the atoms. In doing so, one cancouple a photon-based oscillator to a mechanical oscillator, controlling the mechanical quantum states with visible light. The result is a prototype of a quantum transducer, a device that converts light energy into mechanical energy (sound energy)

Explanation:

Sound energy is created by vibrating particles of medium that propagates as a wave. So in order to convert light (electromagnetic wave) to sound wave it has to be converted into electric or magnetic signals. Then these signals can be converted into sound waves.

However, if you consider the particle nature of light. It contains momentum and after collision sets the other particles into oscillatory motion but the wavelength of these vibrations is too high to be considered as sound waves.
