I just took a quiz on this! It's D!
65 grams of HCl = 65/36.5 moles of HCl = 1.78 moles
1.78 moles of HCl dissolved to make a 5 litres of solution has a concentration of 1.78/5 = 0.36 mol/dm^3 (Note: 1 litre = 1 cubic decimetre)
In a strong acid, such as HCl, [H+] = [acid], so [H+] = 0.36
To calculate pH, we have to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of protons
So, -log(0.36) = 0.45
Hope I helped!! xx

∴

We cannot ignore it in comparison with 0.05, so we must solve a quadratic.

hope this helps :)
<span>The potential of NADH and FADH2 is converted to more ATPthrough an electron transport chain with oxygen as the "terminal electron acceptor". Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation.
Hope this helps. :)

<span>The value of enthalpy of a reaction can be a useful tool in determining the type of reaction it is. If the enthalpy is negative the reaction is exothermic and if the enthalpy is positive the reaction is endothermic. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
