Answer:

Your answer would be a). 2.0 × 10-9

____________________________________________________

Work:

In your question the "ph" of a 0.55 m aqueous solution of hypobromous acid temperature is at 25 degrees C, and it's "ph" is 4.48.

You would use the ph (4.48) to find the ka for "hbro"

[H+]

10^-4.48

3.31 x 10^-5 M

[BrO-]

or: [H+] = 10^-4.48 = 3.31 x 10^-5 M = [BrO-]

Then you would find ka:

(3.31 x 10^-5)^2/0.55 =2 x 10^-9

Calculate the [OH-] [H+]=0.000025

Harman [31]

Explanation:

There are several ways to define acids and bases, but pH and pOH refer to hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration, respectively. The "p" in pH and pOH stands for "negative logarithm of" and is used to make it easier to work with extremely large or small values. pH and pOH are only meaningful when applied to aqueous (water-based) solutions. When water dissociates it yields a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide.

Foods cook faster when placed in a pressure cooker. This is because the pressure on the surface of the water is (higher than/low

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The pressure is higher than the atmospheric one, therefore the temperature is less.

Explanation:

When it is closed permanently, the pressure of the pot inside it increases, generating that the atoms and particles of the water are closer together, increasing their kinetic energy, if intermolecular friction and therefore the boiling point is lower, because the water reaches a boil or boil at a lower temperature.

Balance the following half-reaction: (acidic) NO−3(aq) → NO2(aq) Express your answer as a half-reaction. Identify all of the pha

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + 1e⁻ → NO₂ + H₂O

Explanation:

NO₃⁻ → NO₂

In left side, Nitrogen acts with +5 by oxidation number

In right side, the oxidation number is +4

This is a reduction reaction, because the oxidation number has decreased. So the N has gained electrons.

NO₃⁻ + 1e⁻ → NO₂

In acidic medium, we have to add water, where there are less oxygens to ballance the amount. We have 2 O in left side, and 3 O in right side, so we have to add 1 H₂O on left side.

NO₃⁻ + 1e⁻ → NO₂ + H₂O

Now that oxygens are ballanced, we have to ballance the hydrogens by adding protons in the opposite side

2H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + 1e⁻ → NO₂ + H₂O
