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

A child is swinging back and forth on a swing. Changes in her kinetic and potential energy are happening each moment. At which p
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The maximum potential energy of the child will be maximum at the two end points.  

The maximum kinetic energy of the <em>child </em>occurs at the lowest point of the swing.  

The potential energy of the child depends on the displacement of the child.  

P.E = mgh  

The maximum height attained occurs at the two end points of her swing motion.  

Thus, the maximum potential energy of the child will be maximum at the two end points.

The kinetic energy of the child depends on the velocity of the child  

K.E = ¹/₂mv²  

The maximum velocity of the swing occurs at the lowest point of the swing.  

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the child occurs at the lowest point of the swing.

Hope this helps!

How many atoms are in 165 g of calcium?
Whitepunk [10]
Atomic mass Calcium = 40.078 a.m.u

40.078 g ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
165 g -------------------- ??

165 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 40.078 => 2.47x10²⁴ atoms
