Answer:

2.6

Explanation:

Benzoic acid is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following equation.

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

We can calculate the equilibrium concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ka × Ca)

where,

Ka is the acid dissociation constant

Ca is the initial concentration of the acid

[H⁺] = √(6.5 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.10) = 2.5 × 10⁻³

The pH is

pH = -log [H⁺] = - log 2.5 × 10⁻³ = 2.6

How do the bonds within AND between a water molecule affect the properties of water?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Water is a polar molecule, meaning the covalent bonds in it share electrons unequally. They spend more time around the oxygen, making it positive and the hydrogens negative. This helps water stick to surfaces, a property called adhesion. The hydrogens of one molecule are also attracted to the oxygens of another. This is called cohesion, and it helps water form droplets

Hi I like a guy (He knows I like him too cause my friend told him) but me and this guy are really good friends how do I deal wit
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When you start to feel you are desiring more than just a casual friendship with your best friend and you’re not sure what to do next, let me offer you some advice that could strengthen both your relationship and your love for each other.

First, don’t rush into a romantic relationship with your best friend…many times people confuse love with that other kind of caring love you feel for all of your other friends.

Second, don’t spill your guts right away. You might feel like you have to share all your thoughts and feelings with the other person as soon as you start to feel something. That’s usually a mistake.

3. A helium laser emits light with a wavelength of 6.33 x 10^-7m. What is
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

4.52 x 10¹⁴ cycles/s

Explanation:

From c = f·λ => f = c/λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(6.63 x 10⁻⁷m) = 4.52 x 10¹⁴ cycles/s.

f = frequency = ?

λ = wavelength = 6.63 x 10⁻⁷ meter

c = speed of light in vacuum = 3.0 x 10⁸ meters/s
