The answer is a because the water we use it comes back again
Answer:
The answer is given below.
Explanation:
We will consider the acid as HA and will set up an ICE table with the equilibrium dissociation of α.
AT pH 2.4 the initial H+ concentration will be 3.98^10-3 M
HA → H+ + A-
Initial concentration: 0.1 → 3.98 ^10-3 + 0
equilibrium concentration: 0.1(1-α) → 3.98 * 10-3 + 0.1α 0.1α
pKa of chloroacetic acid is 2.9
-log(Ka) = 2.9
Ka = 1.26 * 10-3
From the equation, Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]
1.26 * 10-3 = (3.98 * 10-3 + 0.1α )* 0.1α / 0.1(1-α)
Since α<<1, we assume 1-α = 1
Solving the equation, we have: α = 0.094
Since this is the fraction of acid that has dissociated, we can say that % of base form = 100 * α= 9.4%
2.26%, 26.8%, 2 2/5, 2.62, 271%
Hope this helps! :D
Natural selection makes it so that an organism from a species has a better chance of surviving than an organism in the same species, but with different traits. Survival of the fittest proves that certain traits can help an organisms survive better than its peers. For example, say there was an allele that made bears have thicker fur than others. The year-round climate is extremely cold. The bears with thicker fur are more likely to survive due to the warmth their fur provides and will have more offspring. The bears with thinner fur will die more often and not produce healthy offspring due to the frigid temperature. Eventually, the allele for thin fur will die out because the bears with these alleles cannot survive in their habitat.
