An animals life in a desert is to survive, depending on the type of desert though, but I assume the most common desert, the hot/dry desert. Most animals are nocturnal, because it becomes cooler at night, and live underground during the day.

What is the Ka of a weak acid (HA) if the initial concentration of weak acid is 4.5 x 10-4 M and the pH is 6.87? (pick one)

rewona [7]

Answer:

Ka = $4.04 \times 10^{-11}$

Explanation:

Initial concentration of weak acid = $4.5 \times 10^{-4}\ M$

pH = 6.87

$pH = -log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-pH}$

$[H^+]=10^{-6.87}=1.35 \times 10^{-7}\ M$

HA dissociated as:

$HA \leftrightharpoons H^+ + A^{-}$

(0.00045 - x) x x

[HA] at equilibrium = (0.00045 - x) M

x = $1.35 \times 10^{-7}\ M$

$Ka = \frac{[H^+][A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

$Ka = \frac{(1.35 \times 10^{-7})^2}{0.00045 - 0.000000135}$

0.000000135 <<< 0.00045

$Therefore, Ka = \frac{(1.35 \times 10^{-7})^2}{0.00045 } = 4.04 \times 10^{-11}$

Compare and contrast an element and a compound.<br>PLZ HELP ITS DUE TOMORROW!!

hjlf

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is that "elements are a single atom and compounds are a mixture of two elements or more." Elements are atoms that have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Compounds are mixtures with two or more elements.

Hope this helps.

What is meant when one says that acetic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid?

kozerog [31]

Its the other way around actually. Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because the electron-donating inductive effect (+I) by the alkyl group on acetic acid destabilise the conjugate base of acetic acid.

hope this helps :)
