First, we have to get the initial [C6H8O6] = mass/molar mass
 
when the molar mass of C6H8O6 = 176.12 g/mol

∴[C6H8O6] = 0.25 g / 176.12 g/mol 
                    = 0.00142 M

when 
               C6H8O6 ⇄  H+   +  C6H7O6-
intial       0.00142 M       0           0
change    -X                   +X          +X
Equ       (0.00142-X)         X            X
 

so, Ka = [H+][C6H7O6-] / [C6H8O6]

by substitution:

8 x 10^-5 = X * X / (0.00142-X) by solving this equation for X

∴ X = 0.000299 
∴[H+] = 0.000299

∴PH = -㏒[H+]
     
        = -㏒ 0.000299
        = 3.52

A human lung at maximum capacity has a volume of 3.0 liters. If the partial pressure of oxygen in the air is 21.1 kilopascals an
MrRa [10]

Answer : 0.026 moles of oxygen are in the lung

Explanation :

We can solve the given question using ideal gas law.

The equation is given below.

PV = nRT

We have been given P = 21.1 kPa

Let us convert pressure from kPa to atm unit.

The conversion factor used here is 1 atm = 101.3 kPa.

21.1 kPa \times \frac{1atm}{101.3kPa}= 0.208 atm

V = 3.0 L

T = 295 K

R = 0.0821 L-atm/mol K

Let us rearrange the equation to solve for n.

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

n = \frac{0.208atm\times 3.0L}{0.0821 L.atm/mol K\times 295 K}

n = 0.026 mol

0.026 moles of oxygen are in the lung

What is the difference between calorie and Calorie?
Blababa [14]

What is the difference between calories and kilocalories? The "calorie" we refer to in food is actually kilocalorie. One (1) kilocalorie is the same as one (1) Calorie (upper case C). A kilocalorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

The empirical formula of a gaseous fluorocarbon is CF2. At a certain temperature and pressure, a 1-L volume holds 8.93 g of this
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

C₄F₈

Explanation:

Using their mole ratio to compute their mass

molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g/mol

molar mass of fluorine gas = 37.99681

let x = mass of carbon

given mass of fluorine = 1.70 g

x / 12.01067 = 1.70 / 37.99687

cross multiply

x = ( 1.70 × 12) / 37.99687 = 20.4 / 37.99687 = 0.53688 g

mass of one mole of CF₂ = 0.53688 + 1.70 = 2.23688 g

number of mole of CF₂ = 8.93 g / 2.23688 = 3.992 approx 4

molecular formula of CF₂ = 4 (CF₂) = C₄F₈

The recommended daily intake of potassium ( K ) is 4.725 g . The average raisin contains 3.513 mg K . Fill in the denominators o
kondor19780726 [428]

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

             \frac{1 g}{1000 mg} or \frac{1000 mg}{1 g}

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a
weeeeeb [17]
The change is thermal energy to chemical energy.  Sugar contains a lot of chemical potential energy which is why living things use it as a source of energy.  The process of photo synthesis takes light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.  That process is basically turning the thermal energy from the light into chemical energy in the sugar.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
