Answer:

2.62.

Explanation:

Okay let us first write the parameters in the question in question above out. We are given the ka value of propanoic acid, C2H5COOH to be equals to 1.34 × 10^- 5. Also, we are given the value for the initial concentration of propanoic acid to be 0.441 M.

So, let us delve right into the solution to the question and we will be starting by writting the equation below;

C2H5COOH <--------> H^+ + C2H5COO^-.

Please note that this Reaction is a reversible Reaction.

Therefore, the basic things about acid is its great tendency to release Hydrogen ion in an aqeous solution.

So, we will be taken equation above and correspond it with the time and Concentration.

C2H5COOH <----> H^+ C2H5COO^-.

Initial concentration of the C2H5COOH = 0.441 M and the initial concentration of H^+ and C2H5COO^- are both zero.

So, after a time, t, concentration of C2H5COOH= 0.441 - x and at that time the concentration of H^+ and C2H5COO^- are both x and x respectively.

Hence, Ka = [C2H5COO^-] [H^+]/ C2H5COOH. -----------------------(**).

Therefore, slotting in the values from above into equation (**), we have;

1.34 × 10^-5 = [x] [x]/ [0.441 - x].

1.34 × 10^-5= x^2/ [0.441 - x].

x^2 = 1.34 × 10^-5(0.441) - 1.34 × 10^-5x.

x^2 + 1.34 × 10^-5x - 5.91× 10^-6.

x = 2.4×10^-3.

Hence, the concentration of the propanoic acid at time, t= 0.441 - 2.4 ×10^-3.

==> 0.44 M.

pH = -log [H^+].

Then, we have; pH= - log[2.4× 10^-3].

pH= 2.62.

In a nuclear reaction, the parent element is always radioactive.
Serga [27]
Hydrogen to be more precise protium which is an isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and one electron. It is considered to be very stable which explains it's abundance everywhere. However under extreme conditions like in the sun, it undergoes nuclear fusion to form helium. So in conclusion, under normal circumstances Protium is considered to be very stable however under extreme circumstances it is radioactive. Does that answer your question?

What is the acceleration of the object’s motion? 0.5 m/s2 -0.5 m/s2 2 m/s2 -2 m/s2
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:  -2m/s2

Explanation:

Using the following equation ; acceleration = Change in velocity / time

i.e  a =  v - u / t

where  'a'  = acceleration

              v  = final velocity

              u  =  initial velocity

              t   =  time

Therefore;  from the graph we have acceleration to be, 0 - 6m/s / 3s  = -2m/s2

What are the similarities and differences between light microscopes used by early scientists and light microscopes used today?
Aleks [24]
Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes

What is the IUPAC name for this product?
mihalych1998 [28]

The IUPAC name for the given product is 2 chloro Butane.

<h3>What is IUPAC nomenclature?</h3>

IUPAC stands for 'International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry', which givers some rule for designing the name of compounds of chemistry.

  • In the given product total four carbon atoms are present and between all of them single bonds are present.
  • In the second carbon atom, chlorine group is present.
  • During the nomenclature process, first we write down the name of the attached group which is followed by the alkane chain.

Hence name of the product is 2 chloro Butane.
