Now you will solve the same problem as above, but using the quadratic formula instead of iterations, to show that the same value

of x is obtained either way. using the quadratic equation to calculate [h3o+] in 0.00250 m hno2, what are the values of a, b, c and x , where a, b, and c are the coefficients in the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, and x is [h3o+]? recall that ka=4.5×10−4 .

Answer:

a: 1

b: 4.5x10⁻⁴

c: 1.125x10⁻⁶

[H₃O⁺] = 0.000859M

Explanation:

As HNO₂ is a weak acid, its equilibrium in water is:

HNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Equilibrium constant, ka, is defined as:

ka = 4.5x10⁻⁴ = [H₃O⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] <em>(1)</em>

Equilibrium concentration of each specie are:

[HNO₂] = 0.00250M - x

[H₃O⁺] = x

[NO₂⁻] = x

Replacing in (1):

4.5x10⁻⁴ = x × x / 0.00250M - x

1.125x10⁻⁶ - 4.5x10⁻⁴x = x²

0 = x² + 4.5x10⁻⁴x - 1.125x10⁻⁶

As the quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

Coefficients are:

a: 1

b: 4.5x10⁻⁴

c: 1.125x10⁻⁶

Now, solving quadratic equation:

x = -0.0013 → False answer, there is no negative concentrations.

<em>x = 0.000859</em>

As [H₃O⁺] = x; <em>[H₃O⁺] = 0.000859M</em>

I hope it helps!

Most of the water a vascular plant takes in ______. Goes back into the soil Evaporates in the process of transpiration Is used t
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

EVAPORATES IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSPIRATION

Explanation:

Plants takes in water from the soul via it's root system. Small amount of the water are used for growth and metabolism of the plants. Some are used in the process of photosynthesis. The bulk of the remaining are lost through transpiration. This takes place in the stomata of the plants. The stomata are numerous on the leaf surfaces and are guarded by cells which allow for opening and closing of the stomata. Transpiration helps the plants to remove CO2 produced by photosynthesis, cools the plant and also changes osmotic pressure of the plant which allows for the flow of nutrients and water from the root to the leaves, flowers, fruits.

What is the result of multiplying (2.5 × 1010) × (3.5 × 10-7)? Use the correct number of significant digits.
kow [346]

the result of multiplying (2.5 × 10¹⁰) and (3.5 × 10⁻⁷) is 8.8.10³ (cause the result must have 2 significant number)

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em> </h3>

Significant numbers are numbers obtained from the measurement results of exact numbers and the last number estimated

In scientific notation, all numbers are displayed before the big order is called significant numbers

the scientific notation can be described as:

a, ... x 10ⁿ

a, ... called an important number

10ⁿ is called a big order

Rules for significant numbers in general:

  • 1. all non-zero numbers are significant numbers
  • 2. a zero which is located between two non-zero numbers including a significant number
  • 3. all zeros are located in the final row written behind the decimal point include significant number
  • 4. zero decimal point is not significant number

In the question it is known that (2.5 × 10¹⁰) and (3.5 × 10⁻⁷) both have a significant number in a row 2.5 and 3.5

so that it meets the rule of significant numbers which is multiplication of 2 significant number produces numbers that have the fewest significant numbers,  So the multiplication of the two will produce 2 significant number

So that we do the significant number then proceed a big order  

  • 1. Multiplication of significant number2.5 x 3.5 = 8.75
  • 2. a big order   multiplication 10¹⁰ x 10⁻⁷ = 10¹⁰⁻⁷ = 10³

So the result = 8.75.10³

Because the result must have 2 significant number , the result is 8.8.10³ (8.75 we round up)
