Answer:

Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years. This means it takes 5730 years for half of the carbon-14 atoms to decay to carbon-12 in a given sample (eg: 100 carbon-14, one half life = 50 carbon-14, 50 carbon-12).

The ph of a 0. 102 m solution of a weak acid (ha) is 1. 15 ka for the weak acid is?
Advocard [28]

The pH of the weak acid is 6.93.

Given,

K= 1.15 *10^{-6}

c=0.102

[H]= K*c= 1.15 *10^{-6} * 0.102= 0.1173 *10^{-6}

p[H]= -log[H]= 6.93

<h3>Weak acid</h3>

A weak acid is one that partially separates into its ions in water or an aqueous solution. A strong acid, on the other hand, completely splits into its ions in water. The conjugate base of a weak acid is also a weak base, and vice versa for the conjugate acid of a weak base. Weak acids have a higher pH than strong acids at the same concentration. Simple arrows pointing left to right are used to represent the reaction of a strong acid ionising in water. On the other hand, a weak acid ionising in water has a double arrow reaction arrow, indicating that both the forward and reverse reactions take place at equilibrium.
