Answer:

Ka = 4.9 X 10^-9

Explanation:

when the pH  is 4.95

the [H+] = 10^-4.95

[H+] = 1.122 e-5

since the equilibrium equation is:

HCN <=> 1 mole H+  &  1 mole CN-

then

[H+] = [CN-]

when

HCN <=>  H+  &   CN-

Ka = [ H+]  [CN-]  / [HCN]

Ka = [ 1.122 e-5]  [ 1.122 e-5]  / [0.255]

Ka = 1.256 e-10 / 0.255

Ka = 4.94 e-9

which rounds off to 2 sig figs into

Ka = 4.9 X 10^-9

======================

p.s. it was the pH pf 4.95 that limited the calculations to 2 sig figs

Which biogeochemical cycle is the only one that does not include the atmosphere?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Phosphorus cycle

Explanation:

Biogeochemical cycle, any of the natural pathways by which essential elements of living matter are circlated.

There are four types of biogeochemical cycle, they are ; water cycle,carbon cycle,nitrogen cycle and phosphorous cycle

Carbon cycle is the cycle in which photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place.

Water cycle involves transpiration.

Nitrogen cycle Is the cycle that is dependent upon bacteria for nitrogen fixation and denitrification.

Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest biogeochemical cycle. It does not stay in the atmosphere, because it is normally in a liquid state at room temperature. It does not include the atmosphere.

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.
LuckyWell [14K]

<u>The troposphere: </u>

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer. 

<u>The stratosphere:</u>

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface. 

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer. 

<u>The mesosphere:</u>

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it. 

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur. 

<u>The thermosphere :</u>

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere. 

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas. 

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depending on the Earth's  temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense  UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.

What pressure is required to achieve a co2 concentration of 7.90×10−2 m at 20∘c?
Savatey [412]

Answer:-  1.90 atm

Solution:- It is based on combined gas law equation, PV = nRT

In this equation, P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of gas, R is universal gas constant and T is kelvin temperature.

If we divide both sides by V then:

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

We know that, molarity is moles per liter. So, in the above equation we could replace \frac{n}{V} by molarity, M of the gas. The equation becomes:

P = MRT

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K

M = 7.9*10^-^2

Let's plug in the values in the equation:

P = (7.9*10^-^2)(0.0821)(293)

P = 1.90 atm

So, the pressure of the gas is 1.90 atm.
