the mass of the shells will remain the same because you can not change mass even if you were to leave this planet and go to the moon your weight would change but your mass remains the same
Answer:
The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is 0.08448.
The pH of the solution is 3.72.
Explanation:
The 
The value of the dissociation constant = 
![pK_a=-\log[K_a]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pK_a%3D-%5Clog%5BK_a%5D)

Initial concentration of the acetic acid = [HAc] =c = 0.00225
Degree of dissociation = α

Initially
c
At equilibrium ;
(c-cα) cα cα
The expression of dissociation constant is given as:
![K_a=\frac{[H^+][Ac^-]}{[HAc]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BAc%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHAc%5D%7D)



Solving for α:
α = 0.08448
The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is 0.08448.
![[H^+]=c\alpha = 0.00225M\times 0.08448=0.0001901 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3Dc%5Calpha%20%3D%200.00225M%5Ctimes%200.08448%3D0.0001901%20M)
The pH of the solution ;
![pH=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![=-\log[0.0001901 M]=3.72](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D-%5Clog%5B0.0001901%20M%5D%3D3.72)

Hey there!:
That depends on the pH of the water layer. If the water layer is basic or rather just not acidic, it will be in the water layer. If the water layer is acidic, pH 4 or less, it will be in the ether layer. On the question of upper and lower, either has a density of less than one so it will be the upper layer.
