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.

15. When traveling through a smoke-filled area, a person must be able
maxonik [38]

When traveling through a smoke-filled area, a person must be able to have distance of at least 4 feet in order to safely reach a fire exit. That is option C.

<h3>What is a smoke-filled area?</h3>

Smoke-filled area is an enclosed area that is filled with smoke gas that is usually made up of carbon monoxide.

The smoke-filled area is usually caused by

  • Fire out break

  • Burning of plastics or chemical products

  • Release of fuming gases.

When there is smoke-filled area die to fire out break, there are some guidelines to follow to safely reach the fire exit early enough.

The importance of these guidelines include the following:

  • enable rescuers to navigate a scene more quickly,

  • identify risks and hazards,

  • locate safety points,

  • determine the safest way in and out of a building, and

  • map out evacuation routes.

The affected individual should get down and crawl while taking short breath through the nose because cleaner air is nearest to the floor.

Which of the following statements is an example of an ionic bond? a Li-F b H-Cl c C-C D o-h
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Li-F

Explanation:

Hydroxide  is a negative ion, which can form ionic bonds with metals, but the bond in hydrogen and oxygen in hydroxide (OH-) is not ionic. It is covalent in nature.

C-C is clearly a covalent bond.

Li-F is an ionic bond.

Bond between H and Cl in H-Cl is covalent in nature. Because of the size difference hydrogen can not act as a cation. So it rather dissociates.
