Ka is an equilibrium constant for the partial ionization of "weak" acids in water. If such a weak acid is HOAc, the ionization is 
<span>HOAc = H+ + OAc- </span>
<span>and Ka= [H+][OAc-]/[HOAc] </span>

<span>Ka values range from about 10-2 to 10-14 Greater than 10-2, they are essentially strong acids, and below 10-14, they produce no more [H+] in water than would normally be observed.

Pipettes are used when measuring the volumes of liquids with high degree of precision. The following volumes were obtained durin
never [62]

Answer:

0.075

Explanation:

First obtain the mean of the measurement;

Mean = 10.15 + 9.95 + 9.99 + 10.02/4 = 10.03

Then obtain d^2= (mean-score)^2 for each score;

(10.15-10.03)^2 = 0.0144

(9.95-10.03)^2 = 0.0064

(9.99-10.03)^2 = 0.0016

(10.02-10.03)^2= 0.0001

∑d^2= 0.0144 + 0.0064 + 0.0016 + 0.0001

∑d^2= 0.0225

Variance = ∑d^2/N = 0.0225/4 = 0.005625

Standard deviation= √0.005625

Standard deviation= 0.075

Which equilibrium system has HCO3- acting as a Brønsted-Lowry base?
IrinaVladis [17]
A Brønsted-Lowry base is a base is a proton acceptor.

In the only case where this is done is when HCO3- accepts a proton and becomes H2CO3.

In the other cases, HCO3- is donating a proton which makes it an acid.

What force types change the direction of motion
lora16 [44]

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity. Let’s say an object is moving along a table on earth, suddenly the finite table ends, resulting in the object being present in the air, which means there is no normal contact force N to combat the force by gravity mg, which is why there is an acceleration downwards. This proves as a projectile motion since the direction of motion start changing from horizontal to vertical. Another example is one throwing an object up. It moves up and slows down, reaching its maximum point, leading to it starting to move downwards. This too is a change in motion.

How much heat is released when 75 g of octane is burned completely if the enthalpy of combustion is -5,500 kJ/mol CsH18? C8H18 +
aalyn [17]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 3600 kJ

Explanation :

Mass of octane = 75 g

Molar mass of octane = 114.23 g/mole

Enthalpy of combustion = -5500 kJ/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of octane.

\text{ Moles of octane}=\frac{\text{ Mass of octane}}{\text{ Molar mass of octane}}=\frac{75g}{114.23g/mole}=0.656moles

Now we have to calculate the heat released in the reaction.

As, 1 mole of octane released heat = -5500 kJ

So, 0.656 mole of octane released heat = 0.656 × (-5500 kJ)

                                                                   = -3608 kJ

                                                                   ≈ -3600 kJ

Therefore, the heat released in the reaction is 3600 kJ
