  • Different intermolecular attractions accessible to solvent molecules cause various solvent effects, in part.
  • Certain solvents form hydrogen bonds. A fairly typical example is water, as well as alcohols like methanol. Others don't donate hydrogen bonds; they can only accept them.
  • Some solvents may more effectively stabilize the anions that result from the deprotonation of Bronsted acids. As a result, when measured in various solvents, pKa values may vary.
<h3>What is pKa value?</h3>
  • In layman's terms, pKa is a measurement of an acid's strength. A strong acid will have a pKa value that is lower than 0.
  • To be more specific, pKa is the Ka value's negative log base ten value (acid dissociation constant).
  • How tightly a proton is retained by a Bronsted acid is how the strength of an acid is measured.

How much concentrated 18M sulfuric acid is needed to prepare 250mL of a 6.0M solution?
slavikrds [6]
C₁ * V₁ = C₂ * V₂ 

18 * V₁ = 6.0 * 250

18 V₁ = 1500

V₁ = 1500 / 18

V₁ = 83.33 mL

Use the van der waals equation to calculate the pressure exerted by 1.335 mol of cl2 in a volume of 4.920 l at a temperature of
nika2105 [10]
<span>Van der waal or ideal eqn is given by PV = NRT; P = NRT/ V. Where N = 1.335 is the number of moles. T = 272K is temperature. V = 4.920L is the volume. And R = 0.08205L. Substiting the values into the eqn; we have, P = (1.331* 0.08205 * 272)/ 4.920 = 29.7047/ 4.920 = 6.03atm.</span>
