Answer:

[base]=0.28M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{pH-pKa}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{4.9-4.76}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=1.38\\\\

[base]=1.38[acid]=1.38*0.20M=0.28M

Regards.

Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?
Anna [14]
C. Melting ice. 
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.

Particles are farther apart in gases so substance X is water vapor

Explanation:

The best statement that fits the two described substances is that particles are farther apart in gases so substance X is water vapor. For a give mass of substance, gases occupies more volume.  

Gases do not have specific volumes, occupy space randomly and fills whichever container they are found in.  

Liquids on the other hand like solids have specific volume because their particles are very close together.  

Particles of gases are random and their molecules are far apart.

A graduated cylinder is filled with 34.4 mL of water. A toy Car that weighs 43.672-g is Gently placed in the cylinder and the wa
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:9.49g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of toy = 43.672g

Volume of water = 34.4mL

Volume of toy + volume of water = 39mL

Volume of toy = 39 — 34.4 = 4.6mL

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 43.672/4.6 = 9.49g/mL

How do you find solubility? I am given only the temperature and the substance is KNO3. I don’t need anyone to solve it for me, j
skad [1K]
There’s no formula that relates solubility to temperature, but you can look up the solubility constant Ksp of substance given and then take the square root of that to find solubility.
