Answer: 4.21×10⁻⁸

Explanation:


1) Assume a general equation for the ionization of the weak acid:

Let HA be the weak acid, then the ionization equation is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

2) Then, the expression for the ionization constant is:

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]

There, [H⁺] = [A⁻], and [HA] = 0.150 M (data given)


3) So, you need to determine [H⁺] which you do from the pH.

By definition, pH = - log [H⁺]

And from the data given pH = 4.1


⇒ 4.10 = - log [H⁺] ⇒ [H⁺] = antilog (- 4.10) = 7.94×10⁻⁵

4) Now you have all the values to calculate the expression for Ka:

ka = 7.94×10⁻⁵ × 7.94×10⁻⁵ / 0.150 = 4.21×10⁻⁸

What is the molecule shown below?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

2,3–dimethylpentane

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall determine the name of the compound.

To obtain the name of the compound, do the following:

1. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

2. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

3. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count.

4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall determine the name of the compound as follow:

1. The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus, the parent name of the compound is pentane.

2. The substituent group attached is methyl (–CH₃)

3. There are two methyl group attached to the compound. One is located at carbon 2 and the other at carbon 3.

4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2,3–dimethylpentane

None of the options are correct.

How does a generator transform mechanical energy into electrical energy?
RSB [31]

Answer:

C.) A generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy with the help of static electricuty

Example:

they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.
