Answer:

Kₐ = 4.06 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Step 1. <em>Calculate [H₃O⁺] </em>

\text{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+} = 10^{\text{-pH}}\text{ mol/L}

pH = 3.94

\text{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+} = 10^{-3.94}} \text{ mol/L}

[H₃O⁺] = 1.15 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

Calculate K_{\text{a}}

                             HF + H₂O ⇌          H₃O⁺          +          F⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹:           0.0326                          0                         0

C/mol·L⁻¹: 0.0326-1.15 × 10⁻⁴        +1.15 × 10⁻⁴           +1.15 × 10⁻⁴

E/mol·L⁻¹:         0.0325                    1.15 × 10⁻⁴            1.15 × 10⁻⁴

So, at equilibrium,

[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 1.15 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

[HF] = 0.326 – 1.15 × 10⁻⁴  mol·L⁻¹ = 0.0325 mol·L⁻¹

Kₐ = {[H₃O⁺][F⁻]}/[HF]

Kₐ = (1.15 × 10⁻⁴ × 1.15 × 10⁻⁴)/0.0325

Kₐ = 1.32 × 10⁻⁸/0.0325

Kₐ = 4.06 × 10⁻⁷

This is <em>NOT</em> a solution of HF (Kₐ = 7.2 × 10⁻⁴). It is more likely a solution of carbonic acid (H₂CO₃; Kₐ₁ = 4.27 × 10⁻⁷).

What are the differences between amorphous and crystalline solids? Give an example of each.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: orderly arrangement of particles

Explanation:

In a crystaline solid, the particles that compose the solid are arranged or packed in an orderly manner to form a three dimensional crystal lattice with a defined structure. Sodium chloride is a crystaline solid.

In an amorphous solid, the particles that compose the solid aren't arranged in an orderly manner hence the solid tends to be brittle, e.g glass

The average blood volume in the human body is about 4.9 L. Convert this volume to cubic centimeters (cm3).a. milliliters (mL)b.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a. 4900 mL; b. 4900 cm³ c. 4.9x10⁻³  m³

Explanation:

1 L = 1 dm³

4.9 L = 4.9 dm³

1 dm³ = 1000 cm³  → 4900 cm³

1 cm³ = 1 mL  (4900 mL)

1 dm³ = 1x10⁻³ m³ → 4.9x10⁻³  m³
