Answer:

poor hydrogen-ion donor

Explanation:

Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

Note these as a rule of thumb:

When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.

When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.

Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 2.46

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$2.46=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-$

Initially

0.0144 0 0

At equilibrium

(0.0144-x) x x

The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :

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

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(0.0144-x)}$

$x=[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$K_a=\frac{0.003467 \times 0.003467 }{(0.0144-0.003467 )}$

$K_a=1.099\times 10^{-3}$

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

Imagine an alternate universe where the value of the Planck constant is 6.6207 x 10^-36 J*s.

hoa [83]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Louis de Broglie, particles could exhibit wavelike properties and have an associated wavelength.

Now for a turtle with a mass of 450. g, 29. cm long, moving at 2.7 cm/s, recall that we can only describe a by quantum mechanics when the body is very small and its associated wavelength is large.

This object has a large mass, hence it is discussed by classical rather than quantum mechanics
