Answer:
pKa of the acid HA with given equilibrium concentrations is 6.8
Explanation:
The dissolution reaction is:
HA ⇔ H⁺ + A⁻
So at equilibrium, Ka is calculated as below
Ka = [H⁺] x [A⁻] / [HA] = 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ x 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ / 0.260
= 15.38 x 10⁻⁸
Hence, by definition,
pKa = -log(Ka) = - log(15.38 x 10⁻⁸) = 6.813
Freezer and refrigerator--> Too cold for most bacteria to grow (reproduce). Oven --> too hot for bacteria to survive
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.
Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.
Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.
Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.
