Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So, you can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for this:

pH = pKa + log(A^-/HA) where A- is the conjugate base of the acid. In other words, A- is the deprotonated form and HA is the protonated.

We can solve that

1 = log(A^-/HA\\) and so 10 = A^-/HA or 10HA = A-.  For every 1 protonated form of adenosine (HA), there are 10 A-. So, the percent in the protonated form will be 1(1+10) or 1/11 which is close to 9 percent.

There are a couple of ways in which you can express the concentration of a solution, and here they are: gram per liter (g/L), molarity (M), parts per million (ppm.), and percents (%). 
As you can see, only M appears in your answers, which means that the correct option should be (2) 3.5 M.

According to the collision theory, what happens in a collision without sufficient energy or correct orientation
ohaa [14]
Hi!

In collision theory, for a chemical reaction to occur - there must be <em>sufficient </em>energy to break down chemical bonds.
 
We call this the activation energy, as it's the energy needed to <em>activate </em>a chemical reaction! 

Hopefully, this helps! =)

How to first ionization energies vary within groups and across periods
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Ionisation energy increases along a period but decreases down a group

Explanation:

As you go along the period, the amount of protons in the nuclear increases. This causes nuclear attraction to increase meaning the attraction between the protons and the electrons is higher. This causes the electrons to be held more tightly to the nucleus meaning they are harder to remove. As well as that, the shielding stays the same along a period since the electrons are being added to the same shell, just different orbitals. Overall this makes it harder to remove an electron as you go along a period causing the ionisation energy to increase along a period.

On the other hand when you go down a group, the atomic radius increases. This is because the electrons are added to new shells which are further away from the nucleus, this also causes shielding to increase as there are more shells. This means the outer electrons being removed are held less tightly by the protons in the nucleus meaning they are easier to remove. This means that the ionisation energy decrease down a group.
