Answer:

[H₂A] = 0.2M

[HA⁻] = 0.8M

Explanation:

A compound with 2 ionizable groups has as equilbriums:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ A²⁻ + H⁺

A pH of 6.8 is near to the first equilibrium:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H pKa = 6.2

To determine concentrations of the acid H₂A and conjugate base HA⁻ we use H-H equation:

pH = pKA + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

6.8 = 6.2 + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

0.6 = log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

3.981 = [HA⁻] / [H₂A] <em>(1)</em>

As concentration of the buffer is 1.0M:

1M = [HA⁻] + [H₂A] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

3.981 = 1- [H₂A] / [H₂A]

3.981[H₂A] = 1 - [H₂A]

4.981 [H₂A] = 1

[H₂A] = 0.2M

And [HA] = 1M - 0.2M = 0.8M

1. What type of wave is shown below?
svlad2 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, transverse wave.

Explanation :

Longitudinal waves : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave.

Transverse wave : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Surface wave : It is defined as a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves.

From the given image we conclude that, this illustration depict the transverse wave because the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Hence, the type of wave is, transverse wave
