Answer:

pH=4.1

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for a concentration of 0.42 M of benzoic acid whose Ka is 6.3x10⁻⁵ in 0.33 M sodium benzoate, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the required pH:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )

Whereas the concentration of the base is 0.33 M and the concentration of the acid is 0.42 M, thereby, we obtain:

pH=-log(Ka)+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\pH=-log(6.3x10^{-5})+log(\frac{0.33M}{0.42M} )\\\\pH=4.1

Regards.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Cell theory states that all the living organisms are made up of basic structural and functional units, cells. All cells divide and give rise to new cells. All the cells have similar chemical composition. The nuclei acid DNA present in the chromosomes helps in carrying hereditary information from generation to generation. So, in order to sustain life the cells must contain DNA either enclosed in the nucleus or freely floating in the cytoplasm.

Nadya [2.5K]

The question is incomplete , the complete question is;

The mass of each Wt isotope is measured relative to C-12 and tabulated below. Use the mass of C-12 to convert each of the masses to amu and calculate the atomic mass of Wt.

Wt-296  =  24.6622

Answer:

The atomic mass of Wt-296 is 195.9464 amu.

Explanation:

1 amu is defined as 1 by twelfth of the carbon-12 mass.

Mass of an isotope Wt-296 = 24.6622

Mass of an isotope Wt-296 in amu = M

M\times \frac{1}{12 amu}=24.6622

M=24.6622\times 12 amu=295.9464 amu

The atomic mass of Wt-296 is 195.9464 amu.

Polar solvents dissolve____solutes and nonpolar solvents____solutes.
Ber [7]

Generally speaking only certain molecules will dissolve in water to begin with. The old phrase "like dissolves like" or "birds of a feather flock together" is very true with respect to what degree solutes are soluble or miscible in different solvents. At very low concentrations, almost all molecules are somewhat soluble in all solvents. But by trend, ionic and polar solutes are more soluble in polar solvents and non-polar molecules are soluble in non-polar (mostly organic) solvents. The units of concentration we just discussed are used to describe the degree to which a solute is soluble in a solvent.

When you place a non-polar molecule in a polar solvent (like oil in water) the molecules try to minimize surface contact between them. (like you and a guy with a cold on an elevator). This is actually the basis for the cells in our bodies. The lipids (oily fatty acids) form our cell membranes so that their non-polar tails face inward away from the polar cytoplasm and the polar heads face towards the polar cytoplasm.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of sulfur are formed when 37.4 g of water are formed?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Mass = 100.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sulfur formed = ?

Mass of water formed = 37.4 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + SO₂      →   3S + 2H₂O

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 37.4 g/ 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water and sulfur.

          H₂O         :            S

            2             :          3

           2.1            :         3/2×2.1 = 3.15

Mass of sulfur:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3.15 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 100.8 g
