The acid dissociation constant, ka, of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5. what is the pka of this acid?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Orlov [11]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:    approximately 4.74pKa is when you take the -log10 of your Ka. Therefore, taking the -log10(1.8*10-5), we get a value of approximately 4.74 for our pKa for acetic acid.

Explanation: hope this helps

the first three ionization energies of an element x are 590, 1145, and 4912 kj mol-1. what is the most likely formula of the com
joja [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula is XSO_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy that is required to remove an electron from a chemical species.

The ionization energy equation for the given values follow:

X(g)\rightarrow X^+(g)+e^-;E_I=590kJ/mol

X^+(g)\rightarrow X^{2+}(g)+e^-;E_I=1145kJ/mol

X^{2+}(g)\rightarrow X^{3+}(g)+e^-;E_I=4912kJ/mol

From the values of ionization energy above, it can be seen that the ionization energy increases as every succeeding electron is removed.

Second ionization energy is a little higher than the first one but there is a huge amount of difference between the third and second ionization energy.

This implies that the ion formed during second ionization energy has a stable configuration and it requires a humongous amount of heat to release the third electron.

Hence, the ion formed will be X^{2+}

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having a chemical formula of SO_3^{2-}

An ionic compound is formed between the two ions and the chemical compound formed between the two will have a formula of XSO_3

Hence, the chemical formula is XSO_3

Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain<br> or lose electrons?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

Atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons gain electrons to complete the octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to gain three, two or one electron as compared to lose five, six or seven electrons. Thus atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons form negative ions by gaining electrons.

Atoms with one, two or three valance electrons lose the electrons to get complete octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to lose one two or three electrons as compared to gain the seven, six or five electrons. The atoms with one, two or three valance electrons form positive ions.

Can anyone help me answer these questions, please?

Crude oil was formed by hydrocarbons or distillate from decaying animal matter migrating to stratigraphic traps like folds in the sedimentary rocks like anticlines which are dome-shaped folds in the rocks. 

In North America, the First Nations used the pitchy tar sands near Fort McMurray to waterproof their canoes long ago before the white man arrived.

In Alberta, the first successful oil well to be drilled was in approximately 1947 called the Leduc well and then oil drilling blossomed from there. Crude oil would be refined to process this oil at that time and broken down into fractions.
Large scale expansion of the oil industry got impetus from the widespread use of automobiles and planes in the early part of the 20th century and then once discoveries like the Leduc well were made, then it became apparent that it was possible to figure out where the oil was and then it blossomed.
In 1907. Leo Baekeland invented bakelite from petroleum ie a polymer. 
Nylon and polyester were developed from petroleum in the 1930's and 1941 respectively.,
In 1865, Edward Roberts, an American discovered that by exploding a torpedo with explosive powder in it in an oil well it could increase the well yield by up to 1200% 
Peak oil is estimated to be very soon between 2010 and 2030 or most likely before 2020 so anytime soon and after that the reserves are expected to diminish. The world should be converting strongly to alternative energy sources the sooner the better especially to prevent the potential pollution of pipelines and oil tankersl

Lost one extensive and one intensive property of a marker ink
emmainna [20.7K]
An extensive property is a property that deals with the amount of a substance. An extensive property of marker ink would be the volume of the ink in the pen. An intensive property is a property about the type of substance you're looking at. So, an intensive property of marker ink would be the color of the ink.

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.02 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
ruslelena [56]
 <span>The energy (E) per photon is expressed by Planck's equation: E = hf, where f is 
the frequency and h is Planck's constant, experimentally determined to be 
6.625 * 10**-34 joule-seconds. So to find E, we multiply h by the frequency 
and obtain E = hf = (6.625 * 10**-34)(7.0 * 10**14) = 46.375 * 10**-20 joule 
or in standard notation, E = 4.6375 * 10**-19 joule per photon. 

Hope this answers your question.Sorry if I calculated wrong.</span>
