Answer:

D. Sound waves

Explanation:

The following options are missing:

A. radio wave

B. X-rays

C. Light waves

D. Sound waves

There are two kinds of waves: longitudinal and transverse.

In longitudinal waves, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave travel. Examples of longitudinal waves include: sound waves and ultrasound waves.

In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave travel. All electromagnetic waves (e.g. light waves, microwaves, radio waves and X-rays) are transverse waves.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

pKa = 3.675

Explanation:

pKa = - Log Ka

∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M

∴ pH = 2.40

let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):

∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-

⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]

⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]

charge balance:

⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water

⇒ [H+] = [A-]

∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40

⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )

⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4

⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )

⇒ pKa = 3.675

VashaNatasha [74]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce gaseous ammonia. This reaction is now the first step taken to make most of the world's fertilizer. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Haber reaction finds that 348 liters per second of dinitrogen are consumed when the reaction is run at 205°C and 0.72 atm. Calculate the rate at which ammonia is being produced.

Answer:

The rate of production of ammonia is 217.08 grams per second.

Explanation:

$N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$

Volume of dinitrogen used in a second = 348 L

Temperature of the gas = T = 205°C = 205+273 K = 478 K

Pressure of the gas = P = 0.72 atm

Moles of dinitrogen = n

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.72 atm\times 348 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 478 K}=6.385 mol$

According to reaction, 1 mole of dinitriogen gives 2 mole of ammonia.Then 6.385 moles of dinitrogen will give:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 6.385 mol=12.769 mol$

Mass of 12.769 moles of ammonia;

12.769 mol 17 g/mol = 217.08 g

217.08 grams of ammonia is produced per second.So, the rate of production of ammonia is 217.08 grams per second.
