Answer:

pKa = 4.89.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>, which states:

pH = pKa + log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

In this case [A⁻] is the concentration of sodium benzoate and [HA] is the concentration of benzoic acid.

We <u>input the given data</u>:

4.63 = pKa + log \frac{0.16}{0.29}

And <u>solve for pKa</u>:

pKa = 4.89

Methyl orange (HMO) is an acid-base indicator. Its two forms in solution are HMO (red) and MO- (yellow). When HMO is added to di
Anna007 [38]

Answer:add acid

Explanation:

Methyl orange is red in acid and yellow in base. When added to distilled water and the colour turns yellow, it means it is in its anion form. The equilibrium can be shifted towards the acid form (HMO) by adding acid. The acid will protonate the indicator shifting the position of equilibrium towards the acid side and the solution turns red.

A sealed helium balloon with an internal pressure of 1.00 atm and a volume of 4.50 L at 293 K is moved. What volume will the bal
bixtya [17]

Answer:

6.48 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV/T = P'V'/T'......................... Equation 1

P = initial pressure of the helium balloon, V =  Initial volume of the balloon, T = Initial temperature of the balloon, P' = Final pressure of the balloon, T' = Final temperature of the balloon, V' = Final volume of the balloon.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PVT'/P'T......................... Equation 2

Given: P = 1 atm, V = 4.5 L, T' = 253 K, T= 293 K, P' = 0.6 atm

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (4.5×1×253)/(0.6×293)

V' = 1138.5/175.8

V' = 6.48 L
