Answer:

Ka = 4.04 \times 10^{-11}

Explanation:

Initial concentration of weak acid = 4.5 \times 10^{-4}\ M

pH = 6.87

pH = -log[H^+]

[H^+]=10^{-pH}

[H^+]=10^{-6.87}=1.35 \times 10^{-7}\ M

HA dissociated as:

HA \leftrightharpoons H^+ + A^{-}

(0.00045 - x)    x     x

[HA] at equilibrium = (0.00045 - x) M

x = 1.35 \times 10^{-7}\ M

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

Ka = \frac{(1.35 \times 10^{-7})^2}{0.00045 - 0.000000135}

0.000000135 <<< 0.00045

Therefore, Ka = \frac{(1.35 \times 10^{-7})^2}{0.00045 } = 4.04 \times 10^{-11}

which state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are held closely together by attractive forces between them
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

In solid state all the atoms and molecules are held very closely together by strong attractive forces.

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Consider the example of water. Which is present in three state solid, liquid and gas. In the form of ice its volume is less as compared to the liquid and gas, because molecules are tightly packed. If we melt the same ice we observe the volume is increase because molecules are now apart from each other. The distance between the molecules of water increased. If the same amount of water is evaporated the molecule of water will occupy all available space , and the distance between the water molecules get increased and inter molecular forces becomes negligible.
