Delvig [45]3 years ago

Sodium chloride is salt, it is an ionic substance thus there is no covalent bonds between the substances only ionic. sodium metal is more malleable but has a higher melting point and doesn't disolve for reasons I think is above your level, the point is sodium is harder

The pka of hf is 3.2 determine the pkb of hf?
Julli [10]

Well, first we must remember that

pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

This is because

K_{a}*K_{b}=10^{-14}

-log(K_{a}*K_{b})=-log(10^{-14})\\-logK_{a}+-logK_{b}=-log(10^{-14})\\pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

So then

pK_{b}=14-pK_{a}=14-3.2=1.8

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, this difference of readings will definitely affect the results of the experiment as well as the E values because the readings taken by both students are different from one another. There is a fault in one of the thermometer because both shows different readings of temperature of the same solution. This will affect the overall experiment and due to this error, we are unable to tell that which one reading is correct so the answer is uncertain or unsure.
