Q3. A third beaker, C, contains 100.0 cm^3 of 0.0125 mol/dm^3 ethanoic acid ( Ka = 1.74 × 10^−5 mol/dm^3 at 25 ºC). Write an expression for Ka and use it to calculate the pH of the ethanoic acid solution in beaker C.

A3. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid with the formula CH3COOH. It will dissociate into H+ and CH3COO- therefore the expression for Ka is [H+][CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH] The [H+] = [CH3COO-] and so the expression ...

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 24.5m/s. For how long is the ball higher than 29.4m above its initial position? Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.8m/s^2.

To find how much time the ball spends above 29.4m, we need to find the times at which the ball is at 29.4m above its starting point, and then calculate the difference between these times. Ac...
