You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution when ex

actly 13 mL of base had been added was 2.75. You notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M.
a. What are the Ka and the pKa of your unknown acid? (Show work)
b. After finishing your calculations, you discover that the actual concentration of the unknown acid was 0.35 M. How would this affect your calculation of the pKa?

Answer:

a. 1.78x10⁻³ = Ka

2.75 = pKa

b. It is irrelevant.

Explanation:

a. The neutralization of a weak acid, HA, with a base can help to find Ka of the acid.

Equilibrium is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

And Ka is defined as:

Ka = [H⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]

The HA reacts with the base, XOH, thus:

HA + XOH → H₂O + A⁻ + X⁺

As you require 26.0mL of the base to consume all HA, if you add 13mL, the moles of HA will be the half of the initial moles and, the other half, will be A⁻

That means:

[HA] = [A⁻]

It is possible to obtain pKa from H-H equation (Equation used to find pH of a buffer), thus:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Replacing:

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

As [HA] = [A⁻]

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ 1

<h3>2.75 = pKa</h3>

Knowing pKa = -log Ka

2.75 = -log Ka

10^-2.75 = Ka

<h3>1.78x10⁻³ = Ka</h3>

b. As you can see, the initial concentration of the acid was not necessary. The only thing you must know is that in the half of the titration, [HA] = [A⁻]. Thus, the initial concentration of the acid doesn't affect the initial calculation.

Describe Bohr’s model of the atom consisted of a central
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

The Bohr model depicts an atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons.These electrons travel in circular orbit around the nucleus similar in structure to the solar system,except electrostatic forces rather than gravity provide attraction.Electron orbit around the nucleus resembles that of planets around the sun in the solar system.

        The Bohr model was an improvement  on the earlier cubic model(1902),the plum pudding model(1904) the saturnine model (1904) the rutherford model (1911) since the Bohr model is a quantum physics based modification of the Rutherford may source combine the two:the Rutherford-Bohr model

Although revolutionary at the time,the Bohr model is a relatively primitive model of the hydrogen atom compared to the  valence shell atom.As an initial hypothesis it was derived as a first order approximation to describe the hydrogen atom.Due to its simplicity and correct results for selected systems.

In 913 Bohr suggested that electrons could only have certain classical motions:

  1. Electrons in atoms orbit the nucleus.
  2. The electrons can only orbit stably,without radiating in certain orbits at a certain discrete set of distances from the nucleus.These orbit are associated with definite energies and are also called energy shells or energy levels.
  3. Electrons can only gives or lose energy by jumping from one allowed orbit to another,absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency (v) determined by the energy difference of the levels according to the plank relation.

The process to separate the various components of a liquid mixture is called a fractional distillation true false
Black_prince [1.1K]
Decantation<span>Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures, by removing a layer of liquid, generally one from which a precipitate has settled. The purpose may be either to produce a clean decant, or to remove undesired liquid from the precipitate (or other layers). Separate liquids
so it is false</span>

Answer all questions pls
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1) The cryosphere contains the frozen parts of the planet. This sphere helps maintain Earth's climate by reflecting incoming solar radiation back into space. As the world warms due to increasing greenhouse gases being added to the atmosphere by humans, the snow and ice are melting.

2) Organisms like the Frilled Shark, Giant Spider Crab. Atlantic Wolffish Pair, Fangtooth Fish, Six-Gill Shark, Giant Tube Worms, Vampire Squid, Pacific Viperfish. But there are most likely archaeabacteria which are prokaryotic bacteria or single-celled organisms. A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today.

3) Many different types of plant and animal communities call estuaries home because their waters are typically brackish — a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater. This unique combination of salty and fresh water creates a variety of habitats. Estuaries are full of decaying plants and animals. This makes the soil of estuaries rich in nutrients. Because the soil is so rich, lots of different plants grow in estuaries. The plants attract lots of different animals to the estuary and those animals attract other animals to the estuary.

4) Temperature, humidity, precipitation, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction are key observations of the atmosphere that help forecasters predict the weather. These same factors have been used since the first weather observations were recorded. Observational data collected by doppler radar, radiosondes, weather satellites, buoys and other instruments are fed into computerized NWS numerical forecast models. The models use equations, along with new and past weather data, to provide forecast guidance to our meteorologists. The three main factors of weather are light (solar radiation), water (moisture) and temperature.
