Answer:

See Explanations ...

Explanation:

In general, pH is a 'p-factor' expression which, simply put, is a way to express very small numbers (i.e.; exponential data with 10⁻ⁿ value ranges) in a more convenient form. That is, by definition, pX = -log(X) where X is the data value of interest. In practical terms, p-factor analysis can be applied to a number of physical & chemical measurements such as ...

pH => measure of acidity of solution = -log[H₃O⁺]

pOH => measure of alkalinity of solution = -log[OH⁻]

pKa => measure of weak acid ionization in aqueous solution = -log(Ka)

pKb => measure of weak base ionization in aqueous solution = -log(Kb)

pKsp => measure of salt ionization in aqueous solution = -log(Ksp)

Such can be applied to ranges of small-number values defining other chemical and physical properties.

For this problem:

Gastric Juice: [H₃O⁺] = 1.6 x 10⁻²M => pH = -log(1.6 x 10⁻²) = -(-1.80) = 1.8

Cow's Milk:  [H₃O⁺] = 2.5 x 10⁻⁷M => pH = -log(2.5 x 10⁻⁷) = -(-6.60) = 6.60

Tomato Juice:  [H₃O⁺] = 5.0 x 10⁻⁵M => pH = -log(5.0 x 10⁻⁵) = -(-4.30) = 4.30

Other Applications:

Given:

[OH⁻] = 6.30 x 10⁻¹³M => pOH = -log(6.30 x 10⁻¹³) = -(-12.2) = 12.2

Ka = 4.5 x 10⁻⁵ => pKa = -log(4.5 x 10⁻⁵) = -(-4.35) = 4.35

Kb = 8.2 x 10⁻⁶ => pKb = -log(8.2 x 10⁻⁶) = -(-5.09) = 5.09

Ksp = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ => pKsp = -log(-5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰) = -(-9.26) = 9.26

Note: The values for Ka, Kb & Ksp are typically provided in tables of weak acid ionization constants (Ka-values), weak base ionization constants (Kb-values) or solubility product constants of salts (Ksp-values).

Hope this helps, Doc :-)

What is the name of the thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a spontaneous reaction?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.

7. Explain how magnetic potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy. (1<br> point)
Arisa [49]
The potential energy by the magnetic field can turn into kinetic energy once the field is moving from the S pole to the N pole when it reaches the N pole it is potential energy when it exits the S pole it is kinetic energy.

A scientist digs up sample of arctic ice that is 458,000 years old. He takes it to his lab and finds that it contains 1.675 gram
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.70 grams of krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed

Explanation:

Let use the below formula to find the amount of sample

N= N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n

where

n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

here

t =  458,000 years

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 229,000

\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \\frac{ 458,000}{229,000}

n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = 2.000

Now substituting the values

1.675 = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{2.000}}

1.675 = N_0\times (0.2500)

N_0= \frac{1.675}{0.2500}

N_0=6.70
