Answer:
The particles move faster and are far apart
Explanation:
A substance may exist in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas.
In the solid state, there is very strong intermolecular forces between the particles of the substance. They can only vibrate or rotate about their mean positions but can not translate.
In the liquid state, the particles of the substance have a greater degree of freedom than in the solid. The magnitude of intermolecular forces is lower than in solids, the molecules can move at low speeds.
In a gas, the molecules are separated from each other with negligible intermolecular interaction hence they move at very high speed.
Therefore, for the water gas particles in the air above the cup; the particles move faster and are far apart.
Answer:
4.1x10⁻⁵
Explanation:
The dissociation of an acid is a reversible reaction, and, because of that, it has an equilibrium constant, Ka. For a generic acid (HA), the dissociation happens by:
HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
So, if x moles of the acid dissociates, x moles of H⁺ and x moles of A⁻ is formed. the percent of dissociation of the acid is:
% = (dissociated/total)*100%
4.4% = (x/[HA])*100%
But x = [A⁻], so:
[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.044
The pH of the acid can be calcualted by the Handersson-Halsebach equation:
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
3.03 = pKa + log 0.044
pKa = 3.03 - log 0.044
pKa = 4.39
pKa = -logKa
logKa = -pKa
Ka = 
Ka = 
Ka = 4.1x10⁻⁵
