Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-

at t=0  cM              0             0

at eqm c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 4.4 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}

Putting in the values we get:

5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.000011

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3

Thus pH of a 4.4 M H_3BO_3 solution is 4.3

Explanation:

Moles of N2 = 84/28 = 3.0mol

Moles of H2 = 29/2 = 14.5mol

Hence amount of ammonia produced = 6.0 * 17 = 102g.

a skateboarder wants to skate down the ramp at a skate park he will want the forces acting on him to be
kvasek [131]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

At the skate park when a skateboarder wants to skate down a ramp, the skate boarder wishes to move faster and with speed so that it help him to skate more time. This can only be achieved if the all the forces acting on him will increase as he skates down the ramp without much of the frictional force acting on the wheels of the skate board. The less friction force acts on the wheel, the more he can skate with more speed.

Thus, the skateboarder wants the force to be increase that is acting on him.

which components of an endothermic reaction have a higher heat content?-reactants-products-reaction vessel-water
lana66690 [7]
Please, observe that it is not right to say that a substance content heat.

Heat is not something that a body or substance content. Heat is the transmission of energy due to difference of temperatures.

An endothermic reactions is that where the reactants abosorb energy from the surroundings to occur. The products, then, will be higher in energy than the reactants while the surroundings get colder.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

the deep sea floor. Known as the oceanic crust.

Explanation:

The deep seafloor (the oceanic crust) is made almost entirely of basaltic rocks, with peridotite underneath in the mantle. Basalts are also erupted above the Earth's great subduction zones, either in volcanic island arcs or along the edges of continents.

Hope this helps :)
