Answer

pH=8.5414

Procedure

The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a chemical solution of a weak acid to the numerical value of the acid dissociation constant, Kₐ. In this equation, [HA] and [A⁻] refer to the equilibrium concentrations of the conjugate acid-base pair used to create the buffer solution.

pH = pKa + log₁₀ ([A⁻] / [HA])

Where

pH = acidity of a buffer solution

pKa = negative logarithm of Ka

Ka =acid disassociation constant

[HA]= concentration of an acid

[A⁻]= concentration of conjugate base

First, calculate the pKa

pKa=-log₁₀(Ka)= 8.6383

Then use the equation to get the pH (in this case the acid is HBrO)

$pH=8.6383+\log_{10}(\frac{0.40\text{ M}}{0.50\text{ M}})=8.5414$

Give the IUPAC name for the following structure: 3-chloro-6-methylcyclohexanol 2-methyl-5-chlorocyclohexanol 1-chloro-4-methylcy

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol

Explanation:

There is no structure for the compound, but we can analyze the proposed options using the IUPAC rules to name organic compounds.

IUPAC rules state that to name an organic compound, first we have to identify the priorities for the functional groups present in the compound. In this case, the priority functional group is the alcohol group, so we will start the counting of the carbons in this group. Then, the counting of carbon atoms is followed by the next substituents so they have the lowest possible numbers, in this case, we can assign the number 2 to the methyl group and 5 to the chloride group, and name the compound in alphabetical order, using commas to separate the words from the numbers and with no space between the words.

Since the other options involve: high countings for the susbtituents groups (3-chloro-6-methylcyclohexanol), wrong assignation of priority functional group (1-chloro-4-methylcyclohexanol), wrong sequence of counting in the compound (2-methyl-3-chlorocyclohexanol) and no alphabetical order to name the compound (2-methyl-5-chlorocyclohexanol), the correct option is:

5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol

Compare the appearance and pH of the unfiltered and filtered polluted water. What conclusion can be made based on these observat

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The unfiltered polluted water is not clear and is yellowish in color. The filtered polluted water is clear with a little bit of yellow color. The pH readings are beyond the range in which organisms can grow. Based on these observations, I can conclude that even though water may look clean, it could actually not be clean or it can still be harmful to living things.

What are Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals called

Margaret [11]

Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because of their high ionization potential and high melting point.

On moving from left to right of the periodic table for every period, electrons fill in the same shell or orbital, with the alkali metals having the least filled outermost shells, one electron, which equates to fewer protons in them.

Consequently, they have a lesser attraction power from the nucleus, whereas, the corresponding transition metals of the same period have more protons interacting with electrons at the same distance, far from the nucleus as the alkali metals.
