First, we need to calculate Ka in order to determine the pKa. 

The formula for Ka = x^2/ initial concentration

initial concentration= 0.0147 M

we need to find x, and we can use the pH to find it because x is the [H+] concentration.

[H+]= 10^-pH----> [H+]= 10^-2.46= 0.00347 

Ka= x^2/ initial---------> (0.00347)^2/ 0.0147= 8.18 x 10^-4

now that we have Ka, we can determine pKa using the following formula--> pKa= -log Ka

pKa= -log (8.18 x 10^-4)= 3.087

1. Name three alkanes and state a use for each.
podryga [215]
Idk about 1, but for 2a: saturated means that all carbons have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached to them, and unsaturated means that they don’t. Only alkanes are saturated because they have all single bonds, so they have the max amt of hydrogens bonded to the carbons. 2b: saturated: butane, octane, methane. Unsaturated: ethene, butene.

Question 1-19
Hunter-Best [27]

The experiment involving the determination of the number of ice cubes required to keep the temperature of the glass under 15 degrees Celcius, the following things have to be kept in mid:

  • The<u> temperature</u> of the surroundings
  • The initial temperature of the <u>glass</u>
  • The <u>number of ice cubes </u>added to the water in the glass

In order to keep into consideration the changing environmental temperatures (which is a variable in the experiment), the experiment had to be conducted daily to get <u><em>accurate results </em></u>keeping into consideration all the factors.

What acids in alcohol make it evaporate
fgiga [73]

The acids found in alcohol that make it evaporate are called organic acids.

An organic acid is an organic compound that has acidic properties. There are two types: one has a carboxyl (COOH) group, and the other type has a phenol group.

The most common organic acids are those with a carboxyl group and include acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and all fatty acids.  Perfumes  include organic acid in their composition to make them volatile. Volatile substances evaporate easily, and this is important for perfumes. They need to dissipate easily into the surrounding environment and spread their good smell.
