Answer:
C3 H6 O2
Explanation:
first divide their mass by their respective molar mass, we get:
30.4 moles of C
61.2 moles of H
20.25 moles of O
now divide everyone by the smallest one of them then we get
C= 1.5
H= 3
O= 1
since our answer of C is not near to any whole number so we will multiply all of them by 2
so,
C3 H6 O2 is our answer
Answer:
Metals lose electrons to become cations.
Explanation:
For example, sodium loses an electron to become a sodium cation.
Na· ⟶ Na⁺ + e⁻
A is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.
B is <em>wrong</em>. Metals lose electrons.
D is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.
Answer:
286 kPa
Explanation:
Boyles law states that volume of gas is inversely proportional to pressure o gas for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature
P1V1 = P2V2
where P1 is pressure and V1 is volume at first instance
P2 is pressure and V2 is volume at the second instance
substituting the values in the equation
229 kPa x 4.0 L = P2 x 3.2 L
P2 = 286.25 kPa
the new pressure is 286 kPa
Answer:
Explanation:
Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right] & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ctext%7BKC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%26%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3.005%5Ctext%7B%20g%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%7B100.%5Ctext%7B%20mL%7D%7D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B1%5Ctext%7B%20mol%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%7B128.17%20%5Ctext%7B%20g%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B1000%5Ctext%7B%20mL%7D%7D%7B1%5Ctext%7B%20L%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%26%3D%200.234%5Ctext%7B%20M%7D%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.
Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BpH%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7Bp%7DK_a%20%2B%20%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Ctext%7BBase%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Ctext%7BAcid%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%20%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:
In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.
