Based on our knowledge of strong and weak acids, we can confirm that the Ka value for acetic acid will be relatively low since it is a weak acid.

Acids can be strong or weak. This is determined by its <u><em>tendency to break apart into ions or stay together to form molecules.</em></u> Although somewhat counter-intuitive, strong acids are those that are most likely to break apart and therefore contain a <em><u>high number of </u></em><em><u>ions </u></em><em><u>within their solutions</u></em>.

Weak acids, on the other hand, are those that<em><u> tend to stay together in the form of </u></em><em><u>molecules </u></em><em><u>and therefore possess very </u></em><em><u>low ion counts </u></em><em><u>in their solutions.</u></em> The acid dissociation constant, Kₐ, is used to measure whether an acid is weak or strong and how much so. In the case of Acetic acid, the ka measurement will offer a low value, indicating a weak acid.

0.00000000082 -<br> scientific notation
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.2 x 106^-11

Explanation:

To begin this problem you must remember the basic rule of scientific notation, which is, must be between 1-10. .000000000082 is much smaller than 1. However by moving the decimal 11 spots to the right, we can make it 8.2

Continue to move the decimal to the right until the value is in the 1-10 range. Make sure to count the moves to the right.

Once the decimal is in the right spot count the spots moved.

Since the number is wayyy smaller than the answer given the number will be negative 10^-11, in order to make it what is was before.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Now that you have the knowledge of the highest specific heat capacity and lowest porosity, which material would you choose to build Rover's new doghouse roof?

Oak has the highest heat capacity; therefore, oak can absorb a lot of heat without raising its temperature. This is good for very hot areas. Concrete has the lowest porosity so water will not leak through its pores and drip into the doghouse. This is good for rainy areas. However, clay is second on both lists and might be a good choice overall for hot and rainy weather conditions. Rover should be happy with this.

Arrange the processes of the water cycle in the correct order, starting with the heat from the Sun.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

There are four processes in water cycle. Starting from the heat from the sun is the process of evaporation.

Evaporation: In this process, light from the sun evaporate water from oceans, rivers, lakes, ice and soil into water vapor. Water vapor molecules combine to form clouds.

Condensation: In this process, water vapor from clouds cool down and turns  back into liquid water in the form of water droplets. These water droplets stays in the air.  Precipitation: In this process, water droplets they combine in the air, they become too heavy to stay in the air. Therefore, they fall in the form of rain, snow or other form.

Collection: In this process, water that falls as rain, snow or other form comes back in the ocean, lakes, river or any other water body. Water will also be absorbed by soil and will be collected as ground water.
