Why does Australia get more UV light than the other parts of the world?

During summer, the Earth's orbit brings Australia closer to the sun (as compared to Europe during its summer), resulting in an additional 7% solar UV intensity. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.

What is the pH of a 3.40 mM of acetic acid, 500 mL in which 50 mL of 1.00 M NaOAc has been added? Ka HOAc is 1.8 x 10-5? What pe
Deffense [45]

Answer:

a) pH = 4.213

b) % dis = 2 %

Explanation:

Ch3COONa → CH3COO- + Na+

CH3COOH ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+

∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([ CH3COO- ] * [ H3O+ ]) / [ CH3COOH ]

mass balance:

⇒ <em>C</em> CH3COOH + <em>C</em> CH3COONa = [ CH3COOH ] + [ CH3COO- ]

<em>∴ C </em>CH3COOH = 3.40 mM = 3.4 mmol/mL * ( mol/1000mmol)*(1000mL/L)

∴ <em>C</em> CH3COONa = 1.00 M = 1.00 mol/L = 1.00 mmol/mL

⇒ [ CH3COOH ] = 4.4 - [ CH3COO- ]

charge balance:

⇒ [ H3O+ ] + [ Na+ ] = [ CH3COO- ] + [ OH- ]....is negligible [ OH-], comes from water

⇒ [ CH3COO- ] = [ H3O+ ] + 1.00

⇒ Ka = (( [ H3O+ ] + 1 )* [ H3O+ ]) / ( 3.4 - [ H3O+])) = 1.8 E-5

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 - 1.8 E-5 [ H3O+ ]

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] - 6.12 E-5 = 0

⇒  [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 M

⇒ pH = - Log [ H3O+ ] = 4.213

b) (% dis)* mol acid = <em>C</em> CH3COOH = 3.4

∴ mol CH3COOH = 500*3.4 = 1700 mmol = 1.7 mol

⇒ % dis = 3.4 / 1.7 = 2 %

Hey there !

Mole ratio :

<span>2 KMnO4 + 16 HCl → 2 KCl + 2 MnCl2 + 8 H2O + 5 Cl2

2 moles KMnO4 ----------------- 8 moles H2O
3.45 moles KMnO4 ------------- (moles H2O )

Moles H2O = 3.45 * 8 / 2

Moles H2O = 27.6 / 2

 = 13.8 moles of H2O

Answer:

Glucose and oxygen are required for cellular respiration. As the law of conversation states, in a biochemical reaction, mass is conserved. The mass of hydrogen in the glucose is therefore conserved in the water molecules products.

The speed of light is 1.86×10^5 miles per second.how many meters will light travel in 1.0 seconds
evablogger [386]

Einstein's theory of special relativity sets of the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second (300 million meters per second). ... The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), and in theory nothing can travel faster than light.
