Answer:

Explanation:

Heat can transfer between objects in two different ways. Generally, heat will travel from places of higher heat to places of lower heat.

The first is conduction. This is when the object being heated and releasing heat are in direct contact. Not as much heat is lost in this process, since the thermal energy has nowhere else to go except for the object it is touching. An example would be putting a kettle on a hot stove, but it could also be grabbing a cold pole with your relatively warm hands.

The second is convection. This is where heat is radiated into the air, and thus, transferred by the air, to another object. The actual heat that you feel is actually electromagnetic waves, and its transfer from an object is called electromagnetic radiation. Convection is the heat you feel from a near fire or a space heater. This is also why wind is present in our atmosphere.

There is also radiation. This is caused from the burning or breaking down of a substance. This might come from the sun.

What is the total concentration of an acetic acid solution (ch3cooh) with a ph of 3.5? acetic acid ka = 1.76 x 10-5 m?

marin [14]

The dissociation reaction of acetic acid is as follows:

$CH_{3}COOH\leftrightharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}+H^{+}$

The acid dissociation constant K_{a} is $1.76\times 10^{-5}$ .

Let the initial concentration of acid be A, and concentration of $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ and $H^{+}$ be zero.

After dissociation, concentration of acid becomes A-x and that of both $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ and $H^{+}$ becomes x.

Expression for acid dissociation constant will be:

$K_{a}=\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}][H^{+}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}$

pH of solution is 3.5, thus, concentration of hydrogen ion can be calculated as follows:

$pH=-log[H^{+}]$

On rearranging,

$[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.5}=0.0003162$

Since, $[CH_{3}COO^{-}]=[H^{+}]=x$

Thus,

$[CH_{3}COO^{-}]=0.0003162$

and, $x=0.0003162$

Putting the values, in expression for acid dissociation constant,

$1.76\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.0003162)(0.0003162)}{[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial}-0.0003162}$

On rearranging,

$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial}=\frac{(0.0003162)\times (0.0003162)}{1.76\times 10^{-5}}+0.0003162=0.006$

Four students report measurements of the mass of the same object. Which of the values is the least precise? A. 1,000 g B. 1,000.

grandymaker [24]

The corresponding value that is the least precise would be A. As it only contains 1 value that is a significant digit, 1.
