Answer:

7.62

Explanation:

Given that :

pH = 7.8

Conjugate base in solution = 0.6 M

Weak Acid in solution = 0.4 M

Recall :

pH = pKa + log(conjugate base / acid)

Hence,

PKa = pH - log(conjugate base / acid)

pKa = 7.8 - log(0.6 / 0.4)

pKa = 7.8 - log(1.5)

pKa = 7.8 - 0.1760912

pKa = 7.6239088

Hence, pKa = 7.62 (2 decimal places)

Why is large-scale nuclear fission a rare phenomenon on Earth? A. There isn't enough energy to start a chain reaction in nature.
siniylev [52]

The answer is; C

The radioisotopes in the interior of the earth are not in pure form and have many embedded impurities and are interspersed. Therefore when a neutron is released by a decaying atom, its chances of hitting another radioisotope atom (to continue the chain reaction) are lower than in a manmade nuclear reactor. This way, the radioactive chain reaction in the earth’s interior is not well sustained.
