To determine the Ka of the acid, we can use the equation for the pH of weak acids which is expressed as:

pH = -0.5 log Ka
2.67 = -0.5 log Ka
Ka = 4.571x10^-6

Weak acids are acids that do not dissociate completely in solution. The solution would contain the cations, anions and the acid itself as a compound. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Ka=1.53x10^-5

Explanation:

Since it is a <u>weak acid</u> it is necessary to write the balance. Where the unknown acid will be HA.

HA\hspace{0.1cm}A^- \hspace{0.1cm}+\hspace{0.1cm}H^+.

Then with the equilibrium we can write the ICE table (figure 1).

Where we obtain the equation:

Ka=\frac{X*X}{0.3-X} =\frac{X^2}{0.3-X}

Now, we have to find "X". To do this we can use the <u>pH</u> equation and the <u>pH value</u>:

pH=-Log\hspace{0.1cm}H^+

-pH=Log\hspace{0.1cm}H^+

10^-pH=H^+

10^-2.67=H^+

H^+=0.00213

X=0.00213

Then we have to plug the values in the <u>Ka equation</u>:

Ka=\frac{(0.00213)^2}{0.3-0.00213}

Ka=1.53x10^-5

The moving of molecules from areas of high concentration to that of low concentration to gain energy is best described as passive transport

<h3>What is passive transport?</h3>

Passive transport is a type of membrane transport in which chemicals are moved across cell membranes without using energy. Unlike active transport, which uses cellular energy, passive transport uses the second law of thermodynamics to cause the movement of substances across cell membranes.

<h3>Why is passive transport important?</h3>

Passive transport processes are critical to homeostasis. They maintain proper conditions inside the cell and the organism as a whole by letting chemicals to pass into and out of the cell.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms (O3). It occurs naturally in small (trace) amounts in the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere). Ozone protects life on Earth from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a double replacement<br> reaction.
Monica [59]

Explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

The reaction is given as shown below:

         AB + CD →  AD + CB

One of the following conditions serves as the driving force for a double replacement reaction:

  • Formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
  • Formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
  • Liberation of a gaseous product.

Help please ;( really don’t understand Chemistry would really appreciate it if can explain to me thank you!
Tanya [424]

Answer:

b)   O₂

d)   CH₄

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the <u>reactants</u> are the substances that are written on the <u>left side</u>. The reactants react to produce the products. On the right side, the products are written.

The arrow => is used to separate the reactants from the products.

To the left of the arrow, you can see this written:

CH₄ + 2O₂

The plus sign + is used to separate each reactant.

In 2O₂ you can ignore the big 2 because it is a coefficient, which is written to balance the equation.

The reactants are CH₄ and O₂
