Explanation:

o At the polar latitudes the surface temperature remains near the freezing point of sea water about -1.9°C. Pure water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C under normal pressure conditions. When salt is added the freezing point is lowered and the boiling point is raised

o The water temperature of tropical oceans thus typically exceeds 20°C and stays relatively constant troughout the year. Particularly intense radiation directly over the equator evaporates seawater and forms a mass of very warm, humid tropical air that subsequently rises and cools as it flows north and south

Using the systematic approach for equilibrium problems, calculate the pH of 0.05 M HOCl. Ka= 3.0*10-8 Group of answer choices 3.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The pH is equal to 4.41

Explanation:

Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:

HClO ⇄ ClO- + H+

start: 0.05 0 0

change -x +x +x

balance 0.05-x x x

As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.

the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:

$Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}$

The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:

$3x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2} }{0.05}$

clearing the x and calculating its value we have:

$x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]$

the pH can be calculated by:

$pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41$

A scientist wants to determine which fertilizer is more effective—Fertilizer X or Fertilizer Y. The best way for her to proceed

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct answer is "three groups of plants—a group fertilized by X, a group fertilized by Y, and a control group with no fertilizer".

Explanation:

I had to look for the problem to know the options.

The best way to determine which fertilizer is most effective is to have three evaluation groups. One group will be tested with fertilizer X and another with fertilizer Y. By leaving the third group without applying fertilizer, this will be the general pattern for comparing the effectiveness of the other two.
