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

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The mass of the lead

Explanation:

The 5g mass of the lead is an extensive property.

An extensive property is a physical property of matter which depends on the amount of matter that is present there in. Mass, volume e.t.c are all extensive properties. The more the quantity of the lead, the more its mass and the volume it occupies.

Melting point, boiling point, density are all intensive propeties. These properties do not rely on the amount of matter present. Any amount of lead will have the same density.

The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is
Julli [10]

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Question 4 (1 point)<br> If you have exactly one million atoms how many moles do you have?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

                       1.66 × 10⁻¹⁸  Moles

Explanation:

                     As we know one mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (atoms, ions, molecules or formula units). This number is also called as Avogadro's Number.

The relation between Moles, Number of Atoms and Avogadro's Number is given as,

             Number of Moles  =  Number of Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

Putting values,

              Number of Moles  =  1.0 × 10⁶ Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

              Number of Moles  =  1.66 × 10⁻¹⁸  Moles
