pH=pKa+log([A-/HA])

25% deprotonated tells us that A- is .25 and that the rest (75% is protonated) thats .75.

4 = pKa + log\frac{.25}{.75}
4 - log\frac{.25}{.75} = pKa
4.48=pKa

Answer:

pKa = 4.5

Explanation:

The weak acid can be represented by the general formula, HA and the dissociation equilibrium given as:

HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+}+A^{-}

where HA = protonated form

A- = deprotonated form

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a solution to the ratio of the concentrations of HA and A- as;

pH = pKa + log\frac{[A-]]}{[HA]]}-----(1)

It is given that:

% deprotonated i.e. A- = 25%

Therefore, %protonated i.e. HA = 100 -25 = 75%

pH = 4

Based on equation (1)

4 = pKa + log\frac{[25]]}{[75]]} = pKa-0.477

pKa = 4.477 i.e. around 4.5

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

What is the volume when the density is 7.83g/ml and 19.6 grams?
insens350 [35]
To fine volume, you have to divide the mass by the density of the substance. in this, you’ll do 19.6/7.83=2.50

Why do you think that tsunamis occur most commonly in the Pacific Ocean?
zhenek [66]
Tsunamis are most common in the Pacific Ocean Basin. The entire Pacific Ocean is ringed by areas known as subduction zones, where the tectonic plates of the earth are moving relative to one another. Subduction zones are where two or more plates are colliding and one is going underneath another.
