The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Explanation:

Electrons are present and revolving continuously in the orbits that are present around the nucleus. The energy of electron are fixed and unable to move to other orbits due to the strong attractive force of the proton which is present in the nucleus of the atom. If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level to the second energy level, so the electron has to absorb enough energy which can overcome the attractive force of proton.

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

$Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}$

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

$Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}$

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

$pH = -log[H^+]$ [/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

$[H^+]=10^-^p^H$

$[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1$

$[H^+]$ = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

$Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}$

$Ka=1.53*10^-^5$

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Do chemical equations with no reaction still have to be balanced

dangina [55]

Answer:

The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.
