The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:
pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19
The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.
Answer:
1.42 L
Explanation:
Step 1:
The following data were obtained from the question :
Molarity of KBr = 2.40 M
Mole of KBr = 3.40 moles
Volume of solution =?
Step 2:
Determination of the volume of the solution.
Molarity of solution is simply the mole of the solute per unit volume the of solution. It is given as :
Molarity = mole /Volume
Volume = mole /Molarity
Volume = 3.4/2.4
Volume = 1.42 L
Therefore, the volume of the solution is 1.42 L
Answer:
A- Energy from sunlight becomes glucose during photosynthesis
Explanation:
The law of conservational photosynthetic energy states that atoms cannot be created nor destroyed; the atoms can only be rearranged into new molecules and ions. This implies that the enzymes in photosynthesis are aided by energy to transform into glucose, which the plant needs.
Look it up, it’s not that hard.
Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43
