Answer:
She could prove that it is a combination of substances by looking for a change in color, or the formation of bubbles. She could also try to pull the combination apart by physical means alone.
Explanation:
Answer:
15.4%
Explanation:
If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵
Then;
C₄H₈O₂ --------> C₄H₇O₂⁻ + H⁺
I 0.54x10⁻³ 0 0
E 0.54x10⁻³(1-x) 0.54x10⁻³x 0.54x10⁻³x
Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation
From the ICE table;
Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]
1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)
1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x
1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2
1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2
Hence;
0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0
x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation here;
x = 0.154 or −0.182
Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154
Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%
The mass lost in the process is 1.4 * 10^-5Kg.
<h3>What is the Einstein equation?</h3>
The Einstein equation is able to relate the mass lost to the energy that is evolved in a nuclear process.
Given that;
E = Δmc^2
Δm = E/c^2
Δm = 1.26 × 10^12 J/( 3 * 10^8)^2
Δm = 1.4 * 10^-5Kg
