If the a of a monoprotic weak acid is 1. 2×10^−6. What is the [H] of a 0. 31 m solution of this acid?
Vanyuwa [196]

The pH of the solution of the given acid is 3.099

Let  HX  be the weak acid:

HX ⇌  H^{+}+ X^{-}

For which:

K_{a} = [ H^{+}][ X^{-}] / [HX]

If  K_{a} lies in the range 10^{-4} - 10^{-10}we can assume that the equilibrium concentrations used in the expression are a good enough approximation to the initial concentrations.

Rearranging and taking negative logs of both sides gives:

pH = \frac{1}{2} [pK_{a} - loga]

a is the concentration of the acid.

pK_{a} =-logK_{a} = -log (2×10^{-6}) = 5.69

pH = \frac{1}{2} [5.69- (-0.508)]

pH = 3.099

Which state of matter is characterized by having an indefinite shape, but a definite volume?.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

A liquid

Explanation:

Liquids has an indefinite shape, which means it could change from one shape to another. For example, if you pour water into a rectangular fish tank. The shape of the liquid changes into a rectangle. Definite volume means its volume is consistent and that it is unchangeable. If you fill the rectangular fish tank with water, the volume of the water stays the same even though it changes shape.

Hope this helps.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

If a pregnant woman eats 6.00 oz servings of bluefish in a month, she would be consuming 1.926 x 10⁻⁶ oz of mercury.

Explanation:

0.321 oz mercury __________________  1 x 10⁶ oz fish

            x               __________________  6.00 oz fish

                   x = 1.926 x 10⁻⁶ oz mercury
