In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.
Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.
<u>Given information:</u>
Concentration of NaF = 0.10 M
Ka of HF = 6.8*10⁻⁴
<u>To determine:</u>
pH of 0.1 M NaF
<u>Explanation:</u>
NaF (aq) ↔ Na+ (aq) + F-(aq)
[Na+] = [F-] = 0.10 M
F- will then react with water in the solution as follows:
F- + H2O ↔ HF + OH-
Kb = [OH-][HF]/[F-]
Kw/Ka = [OH-][HF]/[F-]
At equilibrium: [OH-]=[HF] = x and [F-] = 0.1 - x
10⁻¹⁴/6.8*10⁻⁴ = x²/0.1-x
x = [OH-] = 1.21*10⁻⁶ M
pOH = -log[OH-] = -log[1.21*10⁻⁶] = 5.92
pH = 14 - pOH = 14-5.92 = 8.08
Ans: (b)
pH of 0.10 M NaF is 8.08
Answer:
Nassau, Bahamas
Explanation: The Bahamas are close to the equator so it has more heat which means higher water evaporation which leads to a higher humidity than the other places.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L
x moles occupies 16.8 L
x = 1 mole * 16.8 L/22.4 L
x = 0.75 moles
number of moles = mass/molar mass
mass = number of moles * molar mass
mass = 0.75 moles * 30.01 g/mol = 22.5075 g = 2.25 * 10^1 g
the coefficient of the scientific notation answer = 2.25
the exponent of the scientific notation answer = 1
significant figures are there in the answer = 6
the right most significant figure in the answer = 3
2.
number of moles = 12.5g/38g/mol = 0.3289 moles
1 mole occupies 22.4 L
0.3289 moles occupies 0.3289 moles * 22.4 L/1 mole
= 7.36736 L = 7.36736 * 10^0 L= 7.37 * 10^0 L
the coefficient of the scientific notation answer =7.37
the exponent of the scientific notation answer = 0
significant figures are there in the answer = 6
the right most significant figure in the answer= 3
