Answer:

5.5

Explanation:

Phenol is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following reaction.

C₆H₅OH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅O⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa is 9.90. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

Ka = antilog -pKa = antilog -9.90

Ka = 1.26 × 10⁻¹⁰

Given the concentration of the acid, Ca = 0.10 M, and the Ka, We can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ka × Ca)

[H⁺] = √(1.26 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 0.10)

[H⁺] =3.5 × 10⁻⁶ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 3.5 × 10⁻⁶

pH = 5.5

Explain how ice acts as an agent of erosion and deposition
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Ice is the last major agent of weathering, erosion, and deposition.

Explanation:

Water often seeps into the cracks in rocks. When the temperature drops, the water in the cracks freeze and expand, causing the crack to widen. Eventually, the rock is broken into smaller pieces.
