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

The balloon would be smaller and not float as well because of the low temperature. The particles in the balloon when in the car will slow down and get closer together because of the low temperature. That caused it to become more dense and smaller in size then before. When in the store, the particulars in the balloon we’re moving faster and more spread apart

How can air pollution affect plants?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

C. air pollution absorbs carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide's role in the greenhouse effect is a major contributor to air pollution. Radiation and heat emanating from the earth's surface need to be released out into the atmosphere. But because carbon dioxide levels are so high, there is an ozone effect on the ground level.
