Describe what happens on the molecular level when acetic acid dissolves in water.

Chemistry
1 answer:
kompoz [17]2 years ago
3 0

Since most acetic acid molecules do not dissociate when a sample is dissolved in water, acetic acid and water molecule interactions are what determine how soluble a substance is. In its liquid state, water forms a network of hydrogen bonds among its molecules; when a material dissolves in water, this network of hydrogen bonds is broken.

<h3>What is acetic acid such a poor electrolyte?</h3>

Since acetic acid is a weak acid, only a small portion of the acetic acid molecules react to produce ethanoate and hydronium ions, shifting the equilibrium position substantially to the left. Aqueous acetic acid is a weak electrolyte as a result of the existence of these few ions.

<h3>Why does acetic acid have a low conductivity?</h3>

The majority ($> 99%) of the acetic acid molecules remain after dissolution, with only a very tiny portion deprotonating to form acetate anions. Only the latter are charged compounds, and as a result, only these increase the conductivity of the solution. They are few, and conductivity is low.

<h3>What makes acetic acid more potent than water?</h3>

The equilibrium shifts to the left and the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases when a strong acid is added to the buffer solution. A strong base is also added, which causes the equilibrium to move to the left and results in a smaller pH increase. Because of this, acetic acid is a better buffer than water.

For the first one, you have to find one that has both a metal and a nonmetal in it, plus potassium. Bonds between nonmetals are called covalent because they share electrons and a bond between a metal and a nonmetal is an ionic bond because they exchange electrons.

Potassium chloride is KCl. Only an ionic bond.

Potassium hydride is KH. Only an ionic bond.

Potassium nitrate is KNO3. There we go, that has a covalent bond between the nitrogen and oxygen, and an ionic bond between potassium and the nitrogen and oxygen.

For the second one, potassium chloride is the answer because the other three also have covalent bonds. Chloride is the only one that isn't a compound.

How much energy (heat) is required to convert 248 g of water from 0 oC to 154 oC? Assume that the water begins as a liquid, that
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The total heat required is 691,026.36 J

Explanation:

Latent heat is the amount of heat that a body receives or gives to produce a phase change. It is calculated as: Q = m. L

Where Q: amount of heat, m: mass and L: latent heat

On the other hand, sensible heat is the amount of heat that a body can receive or give up due to a change in temperature. Its calculation is through the expression:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT is the change in temperature (Tfinal - Tinitial).

In this case, the total heat required is calculated as:

  • Q  for liquid water.  This is, raise 248 g of liquid water from O to 100 Celsius. So you calculate the sensible heat of water from temperature 0 °C to 100° C

Q= c*m*ΔT

Q=4.184\frac{J}{g*C} *248 g* (100 -0 )C

Q=103,763.2 J

  • Q  for phase change from liquid to steam. For this, you calculate the latent heat with the heat of vaporization being 40 and being 248 g = 13.78 moles (the molar mass of water being 18 g / mol, then\frac{248 g}{18 \frac{g}{mol} } =13.78 moles )

Q= m*L

Q=13.78moles*40.79 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Q=562.0862 kJ= 562,086.2 J (being 1 kJ=1,000 J)

  • Q for temperature change from  100.0 ∘ C  to  154 ∘ C, this is, the sensible heat of steam from 100 °C to 154°C.

Q= c*m*ΔT

Q=1.99\frac{J}{g*C} *248 g* (154 - 100 )C

Q=25,176.96 J

So, total heat= 103,763.2 J + 562,086.2 J + 25,176.96 J= 691,026.36 J

<u><em>The total heat required is 691,026.36 J</em></u>

A 20.0g sample of metal with a specific heat of 5 J/(g°C) raised it's initial temperature to 40.0 when 500J heat was added. What
slavikrds [6]

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

\tt \Delta t(T_2-T_1)=\dfrac{Q}{m.c}\\\\40-T_1=\dfrac{500}{20.5}\\\\40-T_1=5\\\\T_1=35^oC

Preparing a solution of known concentration is perhaps the most common activity in any analytical lab. The method for measuring out the solute and the solvent depend on the desired concentration and how exact the solution’s concentration needs to be known. Pipets and volumetric flasks are used when we need to know a solution’s exact concentration; graduated cylinders, beakers, and/or reagent bottles suffice when a concentrations need only be approximate. Two methods for preparing solutions are described in this section.
