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}

40.0L of N₂ gas are in a sealed container at STP.How many moles of N₂ are present?9 mol
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

We have to find the number of moles of N₂ that are present in a sample that has a volume of 40.0 L at STP.

STP means Standard Conditions of Temperature and Pressure. These conditions are 273.15 K and 1 atm. We know that 1 mol of N₂ will occupy 22.4 L. We can use that ratio to find the answer to our problem.

1 mol of N₂ = 22.4 L

moles of N₂ = 40.0 L * 1 mol/(22.4 L)

moles of N₂ = 1.79 mol

Answer: 1.79 moles of nitrogen are present.

You push on the side of a toy truck rolling along the floor. What will happen to the motion of the truck?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The direction will be changed .

Explanation:

According to the principles of motion, if an object is moving with solitary velocity and if an external force is applied to it, then that force changes the position, speed, and direction of that object.

In the given question, an external force is being applied to the toy which will change the direction of that toy.
