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

Answer:

less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant

Explanation:

Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).

According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.

Sally has constructed a concentration cell to measure Ksp for MCln. She constructs the cell by adding 2 mL of 0.05 M M(NO3)n to
hram777 [196]

Answer:

0.1056 mole

Explanation:

As Sally knows that the charge on the metal ion is n = +2

$MCl_n=MCl_2$

In that compartment $[M^{n+}]=[m^{2+}]=8.279 \ M$

The volume of the $MCl_n$ taken in that compartment = 6.380 mL

So, the number of moles of $M^{2+} = 8.279 \times 6.380$

                                                      = 52.82 m mol

                                                      = 0.05280 mol

$MCl_n \rightarrow M^{n+}+nCl^-$

But n = 2

Therefore, moles of $Cl^-$ = 2 x moles of $M^{n+}$

                                       = 2 x 0.05282

                                       = 0.1056 mole
