Answer:

lets set the ratio -A/HA as R:

pH = pKa + log(R,10) => pKa + log10(R)

pH = 5.5

pKa = 4.76

R => 10^(pH - 4.76)

10^(pH - 4.76) => 5.4954

Given R (-A/HA) a number bigger than 1, then the concentration of  -A is bigger than HA

Answer:

There is more A⁻ than HA in the solution  

Explanation:

The equation for the ionization of a weak acid is

HA + H₂O ⇌H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

When HA and A⁻ are present in comparable amounts, we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{pH} &=& \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\5.5 & = & 4.76 + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\0.74 & = & \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\\\end{array}

0.74 is a positive number, and a number must be greater than one for its logarithm to be positive. That is,

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}} & > & 1\\\\\textbf{[A]}^{-} & > & \textbf{[HA]}\\\end{array}

How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Neutrons = 11

Explanation:

To get the number of neurons an element has you have to subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass of that element.

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of that element.

Atomic number = Number of Protons

So the number of protons is 25

Neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of Protons

Neutrons = 36 - 25

Neutrons = 11
