Answer:

pH = 5.58

Explanation:

Given that :

Citric acid  is a triprotic acid with the formula H_3C_6H_5O_7 . Tripotic acids are acids that have the tendency to yield three protons per molecule during the phases of dissociation, therefore they have three pka.

For Citric acid; the pka values are:

pKa _1 = 3.13\\pKa_2 = 4.76\\pKa_3 = 6.40

So, the pH of sodiummonohydrogencitrate with the chemical formula Na_2HC_6H_5O_7 which can act as an acid and a base (i.e it is said to be amphoteric) can be calculated as :

pH = \frac{pKa_2+pKa_3}{2}

pH = \frac{4.76+6.40}{2}

pH = 5.58

Therefore, the approximate pH of a solution of sodium monohydrogencitrate = 5.58

stiv31 [10]

Answer: 1.58 x 10^{23}

Explanation:

1 mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 g and contains 6.022⋅10^{23}formula units of magnesium chloride, you can say that,

25.0 g x (6.022 x 10^{23} form units MgCl2) /95.211 = 1.58 x 10^{23}

How much kinetic energy does a 2kg object have if it is traveling at a velocity of 2m/s?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Given, Mass of an object, m = 2kg

velocity, v = 2m/s

We have,

KE = 1/2 m v²

= 1/2 × 2 (2)²

= 1/2 × 8

= 4J

Hence, 4J is the required Kinetic energy.

If 5.1 l of antifreeze solution (specific gravity = 0.80) is added to 3.8 l of water to make a 8.9 l mixture, what is the specif
Maslowich
Density of the mixture = mass of the mixture / volume of the mixture

Mass of the mixture = mass of antifreeze solution + mass of water.

Mass of antifreeze solution = density of the antifreeze solution * volume

Mass of antifreeze solution = 0.8g/ml * 5.1 l * 1000 ml / l = 4,080 g

Mass of water = density of water * volume of water = 1.0 g/ml * 3.8 l * 1000 ml / l = 3,800 g

Mass of mixture = 4080 g + 3800 g= 7880 g

Volume of mixture = volume of antifreeze solution + volume of water

Volume of mixture = 5100 ml + 3800 ml = 8900 ml

Density of mixture = 7800 g / 8900 ml = 0.876 g/ml

Specific gravity of the mixture = density of the mixture / density of water = 0.876

Answer: 0.876

Forces and Motion:Question 1
defon

Answer:

Velocity = 12 km/h

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the division between distance traveled and the time it took for that distance to be traveled:

  • Velocity = Distance / Time

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the velocity of the bicycle:

  • Velocity = 18 km / 1.5 h
  • Velocity = 12 km/h

Thus the velocity of the bicycle is 12 kilometers per hour.
