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

Neporo4naja [7]

it is a combination reaction or oxidation reaction.

Answer : The chemical reaction which takes place when Magnesium wire is burnt in air is Combination Reaction. Another type of reaction also takes place which is called Exothermic Reaction because heat or energy gets released when it is burnt in air.

Which ligand binds tightest? ligand A, with a dissociation constant ( Kd ) of 10−9 M ligand D, with a percent occupancy of 80% a
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The answer will be Ligand A with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 10^{-9}M

Explanation:

When the dissociation constant in the ligand is small (in order of nano) ( 10^{-9}) it will be more tied. Due to a dissociation constant measures how much a ligand can be able to be separated from the protein so if the number is small it means that the ligand is highly binded to the protein.

On the other hand, the occupancy percentage of the ligand does not imply binding. Conversely, a High-affinity ligand binding with the proteins implies that a relatively low concentration of a ligand is adequate to occupy the maximum ligand-binding site.
