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

What is the IMA of the lever pictured?<br><br><br><br> 0.18<br> 0.20<br> 0.90<br> 5
IceJOKER [234]
<span>The ideal mechanical advantage represents the number of times the input force is multiplied under ideal conditions, that is with no friction. Actual mechanical advantage on the other hand stands for the number of times the input force is multiplied. 
Hence; IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)=Le/Lr
The Lr =0.3 +1.2 = 1.5 and Le= 0.3
       = 0.3/1.5 = 1/5;
therefore the correct answer is 0.2</span>
