The answer is Ka = 1.00x10^-10.
Solution:
When given the pH value of the solution equal to 11, we can compute for pOH as
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 11.00 = 3.00
We solve for the concentration of OH- using the equation
[OH-] = 10^-pOH = 10^-3 = x
Considering the sodium salt NaA in water, we have the equation
NaA → Na+ + A-
hence, [A-] = 0.0100 M
Since HA is a weak acid, then A- must be the conjugate base and we can set up an ICE table for the reaction
A- + H2O ⇌ HA + OH-
Initial 0.0100 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium 0.0100-x x x
We can now calculate the Kb for A-:
Kb = [HA][OH-] / [A-]
= x<span>²</span> / 0.0100-x
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0100 simplifies the equation to
Kb = (10^-3)² / 0.0100 = 0.000100 = 1.00x10^-4
We can finally calculate the Ka for HA from the Kb, since we know that Kw = Ka*Kb = 1.0 x 10^-14:
Ka = Kw / Kb
= 1.00x10^-14 / 1.00x10^-4
= 1.00x10^-10
The answer is false..............<span>kinetic theory of gases is a topic that can explain many everyday observations. Have you ever wondered why water boils faster at higher altitudes? Or why inflatable pool toys seem flat after sitting in a cold garage? How about why you can smell a candle all throughout the house? All of these phenomena and many more can be explained by the kinetic theory of gases.</span>
I believe the answer is A
Each 100 cm3 of air, constitutes 78cm3 nitrogen, 21cm3 oxygen and 1cm3 constitutes of other gases like Argon, ozone, carbon dioxide and water vapour in small amounts.
