Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate
its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph=
-1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained
through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.
The answer is true, catalysts increase rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Catalysts lower the reaction energy and so the reaction occurs faster. Enzymes perform the role of biological catalysts. Most metabolic pathways of the body are controlled by enzymes. Enzymes by classification are proteins. <span />
Answer:
The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is
.
Explanation:
The pH of the solution = 2.46
![pH=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![2.46=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2.46%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![[H^+]=0.003467 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D0.003467%20M)

Initially
0.0144 0 0
At equilibrium
(0.0144-x) x x
The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :
![K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%5BH%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)

![x=[H^+]=0.003467 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D0.003467%20M)


The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is
.
