The empirical formula of Lorelai's compound is C₄H₁₀O

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

C = 64.8 g
H = 13.62 g
O = 21.58 g
Empirical formula =?

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula</h3>

Divide by their molar mass

C = 64.8 / 12 = 5.4

H = 13.62 / 1 = 13.62

O = 21.58 / 16 = 1.35

Divide by the smallest

C = 5.4 / 1.35 = 4

H = 13.62 / 1.35 = 10

O = 1.35 / 1.35 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₁₀O

A 0.15 m solution of chloroacetic acid has a ph of 1.86. What is the value of ka for this acid?

dem82 [27]

Answer: $1.67\times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

$ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Given: c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

$K_a$ = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$1.86=-log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.01$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$0.01=0.15\times \alpha$

$\alpha=0.06$

As $[H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01$

$K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}$

$K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]$

Thus the vale of $K_a$ for the acid is $1.67\times 10^{-3}$
