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.

Exposing a 250 mL sample of water at 20.∘C to an atmosphere containing a gaseous solute at 27.59 kPa resulted in the dissolution
ElenaW [278]

Answer : The solubility of this gaseous solute will be, 5.18\times 10^{-5}g/mL

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of solute.

\text{Concentration of solute}=\frac{Mass}{Volume}=\frac{4.51\times 10^{-3}g}{250mL}=1.80\times 10^{-5}g/mL

Now we have to calculate the Henry's law constant.

Using Henry's law :

C=k_H\times p

where,

C = concentration of solute = 1.80\times 10^{-5}g/mL

p = partial pressure = 27.59 kPa

k_H = Henry's law constant = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

1.80\times 10^{-5}g/mL=k_H\times (27.59kPa)

K_H=6.52\times 10^{-7}g/mL.kPa

Now we have to calculate the solubility of this gaseous solute when its pressure is 79.39 kPa.

C_{(79.39kPa)}=k_H\times p

C_{(79.39kPa)}=(6.52\times 10^{-7}g/mL.kPa)\times (79.39kPa)

C_{(79.39kPa)}=5.18\times 10^{-5}g/mL

Therefore, the solubility of this gaseous solute will be, 5.18\times 10^{-5}g/mL

In this Punnett square, what is the probability of the offspring being a heterozygous purple flower
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Heterozygous means A capital P with a lowercase p. There are two purple flowers in the Punnett square with Pp out of 4 possible options. 2/4 is 1/2 which is 50%. So there is a 50% chance of a purple heterozygous flower.

When collecting your solid, why should the filter paper in the Buchner funnel be wetted with some of the cold recrystallization
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:   It is important to wet the filter paper in the Buchner funnel first with cold re crystallization solvent before the re crystallization mixture being filtered to minimize gaps around the edges of the filter paper which can prevent mechanical impurities from passing through. This gives better filtration where most impurities can be filtered. Furthermore, it provides good vacuum.

What occurs when a solid substance dissolves into a liquid? 1 It stays solid and sinks to the bottom of the liquid substance. 2
katrin [286]

Explanation:

When a solid substance is dissolved in a liquid such as water, the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules in the solid substance are overcome and they exist as ions in the solution. Hence the answer is 2.
