Homework Statement What are the final hydrogen ion concentration and pH of of a solution obtained by mixing 400 mL of 0.2 M NaOH with 150 mL of 0.1 M H3PO4? pKa's are 2.12, 7.21, 12.32 Homework Equations Henderson-Hasselbach: pH = pKa + log [b]/[a] The Attempt at a Solution 0.2 M...

Hrm, +3 -> 0. So 3 electrons being transferred, unless you count the coefficient as well. Would it be 6 electrons transferred?

Ah, my mind completely skipped over that trigonometric property, and simply thought that danago had misread ZaZu's original problem. My apologies. Anyway, danago is pushing you towards the correct answer, ZaZu.

danago, he's asking for cosine squared of x, not cosine of 2x. ZaZu, have you learned integration by parts? That's really the only way I can see you integrating this function. Set u = 3cos^2(x) and dv = dx. Solve from there.

Among black Americans, the frequency of sickle cell anemia is about .0025. What is the frequency of heterozygotes? When one black American marries another, what is the probability that both will be heterozygotes? If both are heterozygotes, what is the probability that one of their children will...

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4549/bbav9.png The problem states that it wants the upper and lower estimate of total distance. Therefore, I used rectangles to solve for it. However, let's say I'm working on upper limits. For my initial rectangles, I use the right endpoints, but then it...

Eh, this is sort of a simple question. Milt Famey hits a line drive to center field. As he rounds second base, he heads directly for third base, running at 20 ft per second. Write an equation expressing.. blah blah blah. I'm not asking to do the mathematical part. I just don't know...

With the engines off, a spaceship is coasting at a velocity of +230 m/s through outer space. The ship carries rockets taht are mounted in firing tubes, the back ends of which are closed. It fires a rocket straight ahead at an enemy vessel. The mass of the rocket is 1300 kg, and the mass of the...

Oh, that is my mistake. He doesn't call it the gravitational constant. It's the acceleration due to Earth's gravity. Sorry.

Yes, my teacher taught us that the gravitational constant is -9.8 m/s^2. Is he teaching it wrong? It doesn't seem wrong to me when he does example problems on the board. It's just that when I do bookwork, I have to use +9.8 to get the right answer..

I know it is 9.8 m/s^2. However, we're covering Kinematics, and I'm just wondering how you know whether you use -9.8 or +9.8. At first, I thought that if the object was traveling up, you would use +9.8 and if it was going down, you would use -9.8. But I just went over a problem that used +9.8...

I can't seem to understand this problem. Could someone give me a hint as to what I'm supposed to be thinking? Vectors A, B and C satisfy the vecotr equation A + B = C, and their magnitudes are related by the scalar equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2. How is vector A oriented with respect to vector B...
