Answer:

a) Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁴; This is a weak acid because the acid is not completely dissociated in solution.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) and NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the acid dissociation constant

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

Ka = 0.022 × 0.022 / 0.68

Ka = 7.1 × 10⁻⁴

Step 3: Determine the strength of the acid

Since Ka is very small, nitrous acid is a weak acid, not completely dissociated in solution.

At stp, a 12.0 liter sample of CH4 has the same total number of molecules as

Elden [556K]

Option 2: 12.0 L of $CO_{2} (g)$ at STP.

The standard pressure and temperature values are 1 atm and 273.15 K.

Using the ideal gas equation, number of moles of gas can be calculated which is as follows:

PV=nRT...... (1)

Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is gas constant and T is temperature.

Also, in 1 mole of any gas there are $6.023\times 10^{23}$ molecules of the gas. This is known as Avogadro's number and denoted by symbol $N_{A}$

Thus,

$N=n\times N_{A}$

Equation (1) can be rewritten as follows:

$PV=\frac{N}{N_{A}}RT$

On rearranging,

$N=\frac{P\times V\times N_{A}}{R\times T}$

Here, all the other terms are constant except volume, thus, gas with volume equal to the volume of $CH_{4}$ will have same number of molecules.

Volume of $CH_{4}$ gas and $CO_{2}$ gas is same thus, $CH_{4}$ will have same total number of molecules as $CO_{2}$ gas.

Are the phosphate groups on the interior or the exterior of the DNA molecule?

Makovka662 [10]

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.

The automobile fuel called E85 consists of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. E85 can be used in so-called flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs),

Zolol [24]

Answer:

49,736.84 kJ

Explanation:

1 L of gasoline has 0.70 kg

1,5 L of gasoline has x kg

1 L - 0.70 kg

1.5 - x

x = 0.7 *1.5 = 1,05 kg

1 mol of gasoline has 114 g

y mol of gasoline has 1050 g

1 mol - 114 g

y - 1050 g

y = $\frac{1050}{114}$ = 9.21 mol

1 mol of gasoline has a combustion heat of 5400 kJ

9.21 mol of gasoline has a combustion heat of z

z = 5400 * 9.21 = 49,736.84 kJ
