How many seconds does it take a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour if: I furlong = 40 rods; 5.5 yards = 1 rod

; and 5280 feet =1 mile?

Distance traveled by the race horse=6 furlongs

Converting the distance from furlongs to rods: 40 rods =1 furlong

6 furlongs*\frac{40rods}{1furlong} =240rods

Converting the distance from rods to yards, feet and miles: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 3foot =1 yard, 1 mile = 5280 feet.

240rods*\frac{5.5yards}{1rod}*\frac{3foot}{1yard}*\frac{1mi}{5280feet}=0.75mi

The given speed of race horse = 40.7mi/hr

Calculating the time required:

0.75mi*\frac{1hr}{40.7mi}*\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}= 66.34s

Therefore, 66.34 s is required for a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour.

Acetic acid has a pKa of 4.74. Buffer A: 0.10 M HC2H3O2, 0.10 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer B: 0.30 M HC2H3O2, 0.30 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer C: 0.5

Answer:

Buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

Buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

Explanation:

An effective weak acid-conjugate base buffer should have pH equal to pK_{a} of the weak acid. For buffers with the same pH, higher the concentrations of the components in a buffer, higher will the buffer capacity.

Acetic acid is a weak acid and CH_{3}COO^{-} is the conjugate base So, all the given buffers are weak acid-conjugate base buffers. The pH of these buffers are expressed as (Henderson-Hasselbalch):

pH=pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)+log\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)=4.74

Buffer A:    pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.10})=4.74

Buffer B:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.30}{0.30})=4.74

Buffer C:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.50})=4.04

So, both buffer A and buffer B has same pH value which is also equal to pK_{a} . Buffer B has higher concentrations of the components as compared to buffer A, Hence, buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

The pH of buffer C is far away from pK_{a} . Therefore, buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

Answer:

amount of charge

Explanation:

Oxygen and sulfur are both in Group 16, which means they have a -2 charge. They have two more electrons than protons, making the charge of the ion negative.

Hope that helps.
