Answer:

Protonated form: 96.87%

Unprotonated form: 3.13%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of protoned and unprotoned forms of salicylic acid we must use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa of salicylic acid is 3.49; [A⁻] is the unprotonated form and [HA]:</em>

<em />

2.0 = 3.49 + log [A⁻] / [HA]

0.03236 = [A⁻] / [HA] <em>(1)</em>

And as:

[A⁻] + [HA] = 100% <em>(2)</em>

<em></em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

0.03236 = 100 - [HA] / [HA]

0.03236 [HA] = 100 - [HA]

1.03236[HA] = 100

<h3>[HA] = 96.87%</h3>

And [A⁻]:

[A⁻] = 100 - 96.87

<h3>[A⁻] = 3.13%</h3>

Ana drives at a speed of 175m/s. she recorded a distance of 2km. Find the time.
pantera1 [17]

The time it took her to drive 2 km is 11.43 seconds, because sonverting kilometers to meters, it is 1000 meters to every kilometer, and she travels 2 kilometers, which is two-thousand meters. Then to find the time you need to divide the time by the speed, and with that you get 11.4285714286, or 11.43 seconds.

Anybody know the answer to this

An atom's mass is determined by its protons and neutrons.

An atom's charge is determined by its number of protons minus it number of electrons.

Atoms become cations, or positively charged when they lose an electron, and since electrons have a negative charge, they become anions, or negatively charged.

Water is a universal solvent.

Carbohydrates (carbs) are used by the body for energy.

Steroids and triglycerides are lipids.

Proteins that catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
