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

1 kg of water (specific heat = 4184 J/(kg K)) is heated from freezing (0°C) to boiling (100°C). What is the change in thermal en
Andrews [41]

Answer: 1560632 joules

Explanation:

The change in thermal energy (Q) required to heat ice depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that:

Q = ?

Mass of frozen water (ice) = 1kg

C = 4184 J/(kg K)

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 100°C - 0°C = 100°C

Convert 100°C to Kelvin

(100°C + 273) = 373K

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 1kg x 4184 J/(kg K) x 373K

Q = 1560632 joules

Thus, the change in thermal energy is 1560632 joules

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?
Gnom [1K]
It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.
