Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

The isotopic symbol for an atom is

\rm _{Z}^{M}A

The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons (p) in the nucleus.

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons (e) equals the number of protons. n = e

The mass number (A) is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (n).

A = p + n or

n = A - p

(a) \rm _{5}^{10}B

p = 5

e = 5

n = 10 - 5 = 5

(b) \rm _{18}^{36}Ar

p = 18

e = 18

n = 36 - 18 = 18

(c) \rm _{38}^{85}Sr

p = 38

e = 38

n = 85 - 38 = 47

(d)\rm _{6}^{11}C

p = 5

e = 6

n = 11 - 6 = 5

A 0.187 M weak acid solution has a pH of 3.99. Find Ka for the acid. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

5.56 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.187 M
  • pH of the solution: 3.99

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3.99 = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)

We will use the following expression.

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} }{Ca} = \frac{(1.02 \times 10^{-4})^{2} }{0.187} = 5.56 \times 10^{-8}

Which of the following situations contains an example of a chemical reaction?
bogdanovich [222]

A bicycle rusting after it is left in the rain is an example of a chemical reaction because it involves oxidation (Option d).  

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction can be defined as a phenomenon in which one or more substances called reactants react to form one or more different compounds, which are known as products.

A chemical reaction may include an enzyme that works to increase the seed of the reaction in normal conditions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that a chemical reaction such as oxidation in a bicycle is a process where reactants combine or break down to form the products of such reaction.

Complete question:

Which of the following situations contains an example of a chemical reaction?

a. Ice forming after water is placed in a freezer

b. Watercolor paint drying on paper

c. a sugar cube dissolving in a glass of water

d. a bicycle rusting after it is left in the rain

Why does water have a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet?
leva [86]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Shape

The formula for water is H-O-H.

The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.

Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.

(b) Chemical magnet

The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.

This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).

The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.
