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.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The energy of the particles increase and the molecules move more quickly.

Explanation:

The molecules are moving from a solid (barely moves, molecules close together) to a liquid (molecules slide past each other and take any shape), so molecules are moving more and have more energy

A cheetah can run 112km/h over a 100-m distance. what is this speed in meters per second
Naya [18.7K]
First convert the 112 km/hr ratio into m/s (meters per second). To do this you multiply 112 km with 1000 m/km (since there's 1000 m in one km). You get 112000 m. Then multiply 1 hr with 60 min/hr (since there's 60 min in one hr. You get 60 min, but you want seconds, so multiply 60 min with 60 s/min to get 3600 s. There you go! Your answer is the speed of 112000m/3600s, but you can simplify that to 31.11m/s (since the answer should be in ? meters per 1 second.

Also, the "100-m-distance" part of the question is just to throw you off, because one particular speed obviously stays constant over any distance. Hope that helps :)
