If the pKa value for a given acid is low, what does that say about the acid (is it weak or strong)?

Chemistry

Dmitry [639]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

If the pKa of the acid is low (negative), then the acid is strong.

Explanation:

Ka, <em>the acid ionization constant,  </em>measures the strength of an acid in a solution. Stronger acids have higher Ka values.

We defined: pKa = -log[Ka]

This function is a decreasing function, meaning that pKa will be getting smaller and smaller,  while increasing Ka (high values of Ka will have negative pKa values). Therefore, stronger acids (high values of Ka), will have low (negative) pKa values.

what is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to uv rays of frequency 1.4×1015hz?
Anika [276]
<span>The equation you used is KE=hv-hv0, where h=6.63*10^-34 (constant). You multiply h by 1.5*10^15. Multiply h by the threshold freq of cesium (from part A). Subtract the second answer from the first answer, and you get the kinetic energy. Hope this helps.</span>

a 125 g chunk of aluminum at 182 degrees Celsius was added to a bucket filled with 365 g of water at 22.0 degrees Celsius. Ignor
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

32.98°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Mass of Aluminium as 125 g

Initial temperature of Aluminium as 182°C

Mass of water as 265 g

Initial temperature of water as 22°C

We are required to calculate the final temperature of the two compounds;

First, we need to know the specific heat capacity of each;

Specific heat capacity of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the Quantity of heat gained by water.</h3>

Assuming the final temperature is X°C

we know, Q = mcΔT

Change in temperature, ΔT = (X-22)°C

therefore;

Q = 365 g × 4.184 J/g°C × (X-22)°C

    = (1527.16X-33,597.52) Joules

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the quantity of heat released by Aluminium </h3>

Using the final temperature, X°C

Change in temperature, ΔT = -(X°- 182°)C (negative because heat was lost)

Therefore;

Q = 125 g × 0.90 J/g°C × (182°-X°)C

  = (20,475- 112.5X) Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculating the final temperature</h3>

We need to know that the heat released by aluminium is equal to heat absorbed by water.

Therefore;

(20,475- 112.5X) Joules = (1527.16X-33,597.52) Joules

Combining the like terms;

1639.66X = 54072.52

             X = 32.978°C

                = 32.98°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the two compounds will be 32.98°C
