Acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka=1.8x10^-5) is a weak acid. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

$HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.25 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0084$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7$

Thus pH is 2.7

The maximum kinetic energy of a box sliding from the top of a ramp to the bottom is A) at the top. B) at the bottom. C) at the e

Readme [11.4K]

Kinetic energy of an object can be expressed in terms of its mass m and velocity v as:

KE = 1/2 * m* v²

Thus higher the velocity, greater will be the Kinetic energy. Now, as the box moves along a ramp from top to bottom, its velocity increases and so does the KE. Hence, kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom

Ans B) at the bottom

How are the three lines of defense the same? They all involve producing fever. They all involve fighting pathogens. They all inv

raketka [301]

Answer:

THEY ALL INVOLVE FIGHTING PATHOGENS

Explanation:

The immune system which is involved in defending the body against infections are diseases involves three lines of defense which are all involved in fighting against pathogens. Pathogens are invaders which when introduced into the body causes harm and therefore makes us sick. The body's first line of defense includes the physical barriers such as the skin, mucous membrane; chemical barriers such as tears, saliva, gastric acid in the stomach. These helps to keep the pathogens from entering the delicate parts of the body and once the pathogens find their way out of the reach of the first line of defense, the second line of defense is initiated. This includes inflammatory effects, swelling, redness, phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages. The third line of defense is the actions of lymphocytes which acts on invading microbes. The lymphocytes are of two types; the B and T cells. B cells produces antibodies which fight the antigens and T cells attack the infected cells of the body. There is also the memory cells which keeps information about the invading microbes for future attacks. This enables the body to respond swiftly when next the same type of pathogens attack.
