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>

when riding bumper cars at the fair you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards which law of motion is this
weeeeeb [17]

Newton's third law of interaction, says that if one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. It's the law of action-reaction, and it helps to explain why you feel a jolt when you collide with another bumper car.
