Answer:
The pH changes by 2.0 if the [A-]/[HA] ratio of a base/weak acid mixture changes from 10/1 to 1/10.
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the<em> Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>:
Let's say we have a weak acid whose pKa is 7.0:
If the [A⁻]/[HA] ratio is 10/1, we're left with:
Now if the ratio is 1/10:
The difference in pH from one case to the other is (8.0-6.0) 2.0.
<em>So the pH changes by 2.0</em> if the [A-]/[HA] ratio of a base/weak acid mixture changes from 10/1 to 1/10.
<u>Keep in mind that no matter the value of pKa, the answer to this question will be the same.</u>
Answer:
Having difficulties !!! screen shotted it :)
16. H20 - Covalent
17. Mn(NO2)2 - Ionic and called Manganese(II) nitrate
18. HgO - Ionic
19. Li3N - Covalent
2 ways to do this
a. find %Cl in CaCl2
2 x 35.45g/mole = 70.9g Cl
70.9g Cl / 110.9g/mole CaCl2 = 63.93% Cl in CaCl2
0.6963 x 145g = 92.7g = mass Cl
b. determine moles CaCl2 present then mass Cl
145g / 110.9g/mole = 1.31moles CaCl2 present
2moles Cl / 1mole CaCl2 x 1.31moles = 2.62moles Cl
2.62moles Cl x 35.45g/mole = 92.7g Cl
Answer and Explanation:
It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.
If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.
Hope this helps!
