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

What can you tell me about the charge signs on the spheres
bazaltina [42]
<span>A similar thing occurred with the circles as did with the electroscope. When we initially brought the charged pole close to, the bar pulled in the circle since it was of polarization. At that point, once the bar touched the circle, the pole repulsed the circle. This is on the grounds that once the pole and circle touched, the electrons exchanged thus did the protons, consequently leaving the circle with a positive net charge. The nearer the bar is to the circle the more it repulsed, however, it didn't influence the charge of the circle once the circle was touched by the pole.</span>

Explain the difference between a physical property and a chemical property
Eduardwww [97]
Physical property-  is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without touching changing it.

Chemical property- may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance.

The difference would be that for physical property's you dont need to do anything to figure out what they are, but for chemical properties you need to change something to observe them.

Covalent bonds are in the air you breathe and the water you drink. How are covalent bonds formed?
kramer
Covalent bond is the term that is being used to describe the bonds in the compounds that are created due to the sharing of one or more electrons. One of the best example of the simplest covalent bond is the bond that is being created when two isolated hydrogen atoms come together to form an H2 molecule. An isolated hydrogen atom has one proton and electron being combined by the force of attraction from the opposite-charged articles. When a pair of isolated hydrogen atom combines, two forces of attraction are created coming from each of the isolated hydrogen atom.
