Answer:

The correct answer is: Ka= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The ionization of a weak monoprotic acid HA is given by the following equilibrium: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻. At the beginning (t= 0) we have 0.200 M of HA. Then, a certain amount (x) is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, as is detailed in the following table:

               HA               ⇄        H⁺        +          A⁻

t= 0      0.200 M                     0                     0

t              -x                             x                       x

t= eq      0.200M -x               x                       x

At equilibrium, we have the following ionization constant expression (Ka):

Ka= \frac{ [H^{+}]  [A^{-} ]}{ [HA]}

Ka= \frac{x x}{0.200 M -x}

Ka= \frac{x^{2} }{0.200 M - x}

From the definition of pH, we know that:

pH= - log  [H⁺]

In this case, [H⁺]= x, so:

pH= -log x

3.0= -log x

⇒x = 10⁻³

We introduce the value of x (10⁻³) in the previous expression and then we can calculate the ionization constant Ka as follows:

Ka= \frac{(10^{-3})^{2}  }{0.200 - (10^{-3}) }= \frac{10^{-6} }{0.199}= 5.025 x 10⁻⁶= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as  typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is "0.0000190 and 2.7 J".

Explanation:

\to P_4=\frac{e^{-\beta}(4+\frac{1}{2}) hev}{2vb}\\\\

         =\frac{e^{-9(1.35)}}{0.278v}\\\\=\frac{e^{-12.5}}{0.278}\\\\=\frac{0.000005285}{0.278}\\\\=0.0000190

Given:

h=6.626 \times 10^{-34}\\\\c=3\times 10^{10}\\\\v=558\ cm^{-1}\\\\K=1.38 \times 10^{-23}\\\\ T=298\\\\

E=\frac{hcv}{KT}\\\\

by putting the value into the above formula so, the value is 2.7 J

How many liters of water vapor are in 36.21 g?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

45.02 L.

Explanation:  

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of water vapor.
  • n = mass / molar mass = (36.21 g) / (18.0 g/mol) = 2.01 mol.
  • We can calculate the volume of knowing that 1.0 mole of a gas at STP occupies 22.4 L.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of CO occupies → 22.4 L.

2.01 mole of CO occupies → ??? L.

∴ The volume of water vapor in 36.21 g = (22.4 L)(2.01 mole) / (1.0 mole) = 45.02 L.

Which of the following measurements is equal to 150 dL?
MrRissso [65]
This is a case of metric system of measurements. The scale of the metric system only differs by a factor of 10. The scale (from greatest to least) is kiloliter, hectoliter, dekaliter, liter, deciliter, centiliter and milliliter. If the unit is 150 dL, and you want to find the equivalent dkL measurement, just move the decimal point 2 decimals places to the left (just follow the scale). The same procedure is done for the other metric units.

150 dL = 1.5 dkL
150 dL = 15 L
150 dL = 1,500 cL
150 dL = 15,000 mL

From the choices, the answer is letter C.
