If the cube is 3 cm on each side, then it has a volume of 27 cm^3 (3 x 3 x 3). Density is mass divided by volume, so its density is 72.9/27 = 2.7 g/cm^3.

<span>Going by the density, the cube is made of Aluminium - density is a fairly unique quantity</span>

Catalytic converters made of palladium (pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons

Doss [256]

Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.

What is the ratio of [a–]/[ha] at ph 2.75? the pka of formic acid (methanoic acid, h–cooh) is 3.75?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The dissociation of formic acid is:

$HCOOH \rightleftharpoons HCOO^{-} + H^{+}$

The acid dissociation constant of formic acid, $k_a$ is:

$k_a = \frac{[HCOO^{-}] [H^{+}]}{HCOOH}$

Rearranging the equation:

$\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}$

pH = 2.75

$pH = -log[H^{+}]$

$[H^{+}]= 10^{-2.75} = 1.78 \times 10^{-3}$

$pk_a = 3.75$

$k_a = 10^{-3.75} = 1.78\times 10^{-4}$

Substituting the values in the equation:

$\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}$

$\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{1.78\times 10^{-4}}{1.78\times 10^{-3}}$

Hence, the ratio is $\frac{1}{10}$ .

Part B Change the distance of the electron from the center position as it moves up and down. What relationship do you notice bet

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The movement of the electron changes the amplitude of the wave. The farther the electron moves from the center position, the greater the amplitude.
