The best description for the relationship between the products and the reactants in an exothermic reaction is C. The potential energy of the products is less than the potential energy of the reactants.
Answer:
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH > ClCH₂COOH
Explanation:
Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.
Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.
- The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
- The more substituents, the greater the effect.
- The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.
CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH — EDG — weakest — pKₐ = 4.82
CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference — pKₐ = 4.75
ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger — pKₐ = 4.00
ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest — pKₐ = 2.87
<span>Charles' law says "at a constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature".
V </span>α T
Where V is the volume and T is the temperature in Kelvin of the gas. We can use this for two situations as,
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₁ = 2.00 L
T₁ = 40.0 ⁰C = 313 K
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 30.0 ⁰C = 303 K
By applying the formula,
2.00 L / 313 K = V₂ / 303 K
V₂ = (2.00 L / 313 K) x 303 K
V₂ = 1.94 L
Hence, the volume of the balloon at 30.0 ⁰C is 1.94 L
