Answer:

C. CH3COOH, Ka = 1.8 E-5

Explanation:

analyzing the pKa of the given acids:

∴ pKa = - Log Ka

A. pKa = - Log (1.0 E-3 ) = 3

B. pKa = - Log (2.9 E-4) = 3.54

C. pKa = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745

D. pKa = - Log (4.0 E-6) = 5.397

E. pKa = - Log (2.3 E-9) = 8.638

We choose the (C) acid since its pKa close to the expected pH.

⇒ For a buffer solution formed from an acid and its respective salt, we have the equation Henderson-Hausselbach (H-H):

  • pH = pKa + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

∴ pH = 4.5

∴ pKa = 4.745

⇒ 4.5 = 4.745 + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

⇒ - 0.245 = Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

⇒ 0.5692 = [CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]

∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([H3O+].[CH3COO-])/[CH3COOH]

⇒ 1.8 E-5 = [H3O+](0.5692)

⇒ [H3O+] = 3.1623 E-5 M

⇒ pH = - Log ( 3.1623 E-5 ) = 4.5

A 100.0 lb skier moves at 40.00miles/hour. Calc her kinetic energy.
Pepsi [2]

answer: its 7290 joules.

explanations: the first procedure is to convert 1 pound to kilogram. 1 kg = 2.205 hence given 100 lb so we cross multiply. 1 kg * 100 = 2.205 * x

hence x= 45 kg. let's convert 1 mile per hour = 0.45 metre per second we cross multiply by 40 mile per hour. x= 40 * 0.45= 18 m/s.

KE= 1/2 * 45 * (18)^2

= 1/2 * 45 * 14580

= 7290joules

How many moless is 4.91x10^22 molecules of H3PO4?
Lynna [10]
1 mol = 6.023x10^23 number of molecules (Avogadro's number)

1 : 6.023x10^23
X : 4.91x10^22

(6.023x10^23)X = 4.91x10^22

X = 4.91x10^22/6.023x10^23

X = 0.082 Moles
