The approximate degree of dissociation of a 0.35 M solution of lactic acid is 4,87%

<h3>What is  degree of dissociation?</h3>

The degree of dissociation is the quantity used to express the strength of a base, that is, its ability to conduct electric current, which depends on the amount of ions released in the dissociation.

The degree of dissociation (α) is another way of determining the strength of a base. It indicates the fatty acids that were released from a base when it dissociates in water.

With that being said, C stands for concentration and α is the the degree of dissociation.

Latic Acid can be written as  C3H6O3

CH3Ch(OH)CO2H < -- > H^{+} + CH3CH(OH)CO2^{-}

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}] [CH3CH(OH)CO2^{-}]  }{CH#CH(OH)CO2H} = \frac{C^{2} \alpha^{2}  }{C(1-\alpha )} = \frac{C\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha )}

As α is too small (1-α) can be neglected.

Ka = C\alpha ^{2}  \\\\\\alpha    = \sqrt[]{\frac{Ka}{C} }

Ka = 10^{-3,08}  = 8,32 .10^{-4} .10^{-4} = 0,35

\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{ka}{C} } \\\\\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{8,32.10^{-4} }{0,35} } = 0,0487

In this case, is possible to see that  approximate degree of dissociation of a 0.35 M solution of lactic acid is 4,87%

If you place a glass rod over a burning candle, the glass turns
gladu [14]
A. the wax is a both; 1. physical change-solid to liquid.
2. chemical change- burned to CO2 + H20 + heat + carbon as seen as black on the rod
b. the wick is neither; the wick does not change, just provides conduit for wax to flame
c. the glass rod is physical change; the carbon is only deported

If z = 4.0 and y = 9.6, what is the value of x?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The value of x will be "1.4".

Explanation:

The given values are:

y = 9.6

z = 4.0

As we know,

The relation between x, y and z is:

⇒ z = \frac{y}{x}

and,

⇒ x=\frac{y}{z}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{5.6}{4.0}

⇒    =1.4

What is exchanged between the system and the surroundings ​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

see note under explanation

Explanation:

When describing system and surroundings the system is typically defined as the 'object of interest' being studied and surroundings 'everything else'. In thermodynamics heat flow is typically defined as endothermic or exothermic. However, one should realize that the terms endothermic and exothermic are in reference to the 'system' or object of interest being studied. For example if heat is transferred from a warm object to a cooler object it is imperative that the system be defined 1st. So, with that, assume the system is a warm metal cylinder being added into cooler water. When describing heat flow then the process is exothermic with respect to the metal cylinder (the system) but endothermic to the water and surroundings (everything else).
