Answer:

pH = 3.02

Explanation:

Acetic Acid is a weak acid (HOAc) that ionizes only ~1.5% as follows:

HOAc ⇄ H⁺ + OAc⁻.

In pure water the hydronium ion concentration [H⁺] equals the acetate ion concentration [OAc⁻] and can be determined* using the formula [H⁺] = [OAc⁻] = SqrRt(Ka·[acid]) = SqrRt(1.8x10⁻⁵ x 0.0500)M = 9.5x10⁻⁴M.

By definition, pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(9.5x10⁻⁴) = 3.02

______________________________________________________

*This formula can be used to determine the [H⁺] & [Anion⁻] concentrations for any weak acid in pure water given its Ka-value and the molar concentration of acid in solution.

What is the specific heat of titanium in j/(g⋅∘c) if it takes 89.7 j to raise the temperature of a 33.0 g block by 5.20 ∘c?
larisa [96]
Specific  heat  capacity  is  the  amount  of  energy  required  to  raise one  gram  of  substances by 1 degree  celsius .  Therefore  specific  heat  capacity  for  tatanium  is  89.7j /(  33.0g  x5.2 degree celsius) = 0.52j/g  degree celcius
Molar mass for tatanium   is  47.9 g/mole
heat  is  therefore 47.9  g/mole  x 0.52j/g  =24.9j/mole

Oh no! Igor stepped on a piece of glass on the sidewalk in front of
Helen [10]

Answer: The correct sequence for the series of event would be.

1. Igor's toe is being cut by the glass.

2. The wound surrounding the injury becomes infected  with bacteria from Igor's foot.

3. Antibodies and circulating white blood cells stick to the  bacteria creating a large complex in the lymph vessel.

4. The bacteria enter his lymph system and travel towards a lymph node.

5. The complex becomes trapped in a lymph node and is  engulfed by a phagocyte.

6. The bacteria is destroyed.

Explanation:

Whenever there is any cut or wound in the body and body encounters invasion of the foreign materials it considers it as harmful pathogen.

These pathogens when enters the body it is considered as antigen, it then travels to the lymphatic system.

These bacterial complex is then killed by the phagocytes and digested by the body.

In this way the complex is killed and the bacteria is destroyed.

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of boron. 10 B has a mass of 10.0129 u. 11 B has a mass of 11.0093 u. Determine the a
Vanyuwa [196]
<h2>Natural Abundance for 10B is 19.60%</h2>

Explanation:

  • The natural isotopic abundance of 10B is 19.60%.
  • The natural isotopic abundance of 11B is 80.40%.
  • The isotopic masses of boron are 10.0129 u and 11.009 u respectively.

For calculation of abundance of both the isotopes -

Supposing it was 50/50, the average mass would be 10.5, so to increase the mass we need a more percentage of 11.

Determining it as an equation -

10x + 11y= 10.8

x+y=1 (ratio)

10x + 10y = 10

By taking the denominator away from the numerator

we get;

y = 0.8

x + y = 1

∴ x = 0.2

To get percentages  we need to multiply it by 100

So, the calculated abundance is 80% for 11 B and 20% 10  B.
