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

Rn-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. If 25.0 g of Radon-22 was originally present, approximately how many grams would be left af
horsena [70]

Answer:

Approximately 0.39 g or 0.4 g if you're rounding up

Explanation:

15/3.82 = 3.92

Let's round that up to 4

That means 15 days is around 4 half lives

4 half lives means 1/16 of the original mass will be left

25/16 = 0.390625

How are antibodies and receptor molecules function similarly
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each antigen has distinct surface features, or epitopes, resulting in specific responses. Antibodies (immunoglobins) are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells of the immune system in response to exposure to antigens.
