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

Mass of 0.432 moles of C8H9O4?
Fiesta28 [93]
Find one mole
8 C = 8 * 12 = 96
9 H = 1 * 9 = 9
4 O = 4 *16 = 64
Total = 169 

1 mol = 169 grams.
0.432 mol = x

1/0.432 = 169/x
x = 0.432 * 169
x = 73.0 grams

What is the pressure of 1.50 moles of a gas in a 30.0L tank at a temperature of<br> 285K?
julia-pushkina [17]

The pressure of the gas : 1.1685 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In general, the gas equation can be written  

\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}

where  

P = pressure, atm  

V = volume, liter  

n = number of moles  

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K  

T = temperature, Kelvin  

n=moles=1.5

V=volumes = 30 L

T=temperature=285 K

The pressure :

\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.5\times 0.082\times 285}{30}\\\\P=1.1685~atm

In Mitosis, do new cells have different DNA or the same DNA?
Otrada [13]

Answer: With few exceptions, the mitotic process ensures that this is the case. Therefore, mitosis ensures that each successive cellular generation has the same genetic composition as the previous generation, as well as an identical chromosome set.

Investigators studying a particular cell response are curious about what type of cell-surface receptor might trigger it. They in
belka [17]

Answer:

An ion channel, more specifically a calcium channel.

Explanation:

The electrical activity of the cells is regulated by ion channels. Calcium channels, also referred as the voltage-gated calcium channels constitute one group of a superfamily of ion channels. A change in voltage across the membrane or small molecules triggers calcium channels to open, allowing calcium to flow into the cell. Inside the cell, calcium acts as a second messenger, it binds to calcium sensitive proteins to induce different responses and support several functions such as muscle contraction, hormone and neurotransmitter secretion, gene regulation, activation of other ion channels, control of action potentials, cell survival, etc.
