Answer:p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is stronger acid to phenol

para-cyanophenol is stronger acid to meta-cyanophenol

o-fluorophenol is stronger acid to p-fluorophenol.

Explanation:

The PKa tool relative to Ph are used to contrast the pairs.

The pKa of phenol is 10. The pKa of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is 9.24

The pKa for meta-cyanophenol is 8.61 and the pKa for para-cyanophenol is 7.95.

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature

The pKa is the pH value at which a chemical species will accept or donate a proton. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater the ability to donate a proton in aqueous solution.

Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures: CO(g) + Cl2

Answer: Concentration of $CO$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = 0.532 M

Explanation:

Moles of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = 0.430 mole

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Initial concentration of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.430}{0.500}=0.860M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.860M 0.860M 0

At eqm. conc. (0.860-x) M (0.860-x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$4.95=\frac{x}{(0.860-x)^2}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.532 M

Thus, the concentrations of $CO,Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2$ at equilibrium are :

Concentration of $CO$ = (0.860-x) M =(0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = (0.860-x) M = (0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = x M = 0.532 M

the ionization constant, Ka, for and indicator, HIn, is 1.0x10^-8. The color of the unionized form is red and the color of the i

Fudgin [204]

the ionization constant, Ka, for and indicator, HIn, is 1.0x10^-8. The color of the unionized form is red and the color of the ionized form is yellow. What is the color of the indicator in a solution whose pH is 4.6? (Hint: the color of an indicator can be estimated by considering the ratio of [HIn]/[In]. If the ratio is equal to or greater than 10, the color will bet hat of the unionized form. If the ratio is equal to or smaller than 0.1, the color will be that of the ionized form.
Ka=[H+][A-]/[HA] substitute for pH and find the value of A-/HA.


so it'd just be 1x10^-8 divided by 4.6

For an exothermic reaction, what effect will increasing the temperature have on the equilibrium?

VLD [36.1K]

The result of an exothermic reaction is released heat. According the Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the temperature means increasing the amount of products. This means that there will be more reactants left at equilibrium.
