F. None of the above [Cl^(-) is oxidized]

No Cl atoms are available to be oxidized, only Cl^(-)ions

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

The substance that loses electrons is oxidized.

Remember OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Loss of electrons) and

LEO the lion says GER (Loss of Electrons is Oxidation).

what is the approximate ph at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration if 25 ml of aqueous formic acid require

vivado [14]

Answer:

pH at equivalence point is 8.52

Explanation:

$HCOOH+NaOH\rightarrow HCOO^{-}Na^{+}+H_{2}O$

1 mol of HCOOH reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1 mol of $HCOO^{-}$

So, moles of NaOH used to reach equivalence point equal to number of moles $HCOO^{-}$ produced at equivalence point.

As density of water is 1g/mL, therefore molarity is equal to molality of an aqueous solution.

So, moles of $HCOO^{-}$ produced = $\frac{29.80\times 0.3567}{1000}moles=0.01063moles$

Total volume of solution at equivalence point = (25+29.80) mL = 54.80 mL

So, at equivalence point concentration of $HCOO^{-}$ = $\frac{0.01063\times 1000}{54.80}M=0.1940M$

At equivalence point, pH depends upon hydrolysis of $HCOO^{-}$ . So, we have to construct an ICE table.

$HCOO^{-}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons HCOOH+OH^{-}$

I: 0.1940 0 0

C: -x +x +x

E: 0.1940-x x x

So, $\frac{[HCOOH][OH^{-}]}{[HCOO^{-}]}=K_{b}(HCOO^{-})=\frac{10^{-14}}{Ka(HCOOH)}$

species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, $\frac{x^{2}}{0.1940-x}=5.56\times 10^{-11}$

or, $x^{2}+(5.56\times 10^{-11}\times x)-(1.079\times 10^{-11})=0$

So, $x=\frac{-(5.56\times 10^{-11})+\sqrt{(5.56\times 10^{-11})^{2}+(4\times 1.079\times 10^{-11})}}{2}$

So, $x=3.285\times 10^{-6}M$

So, $pH=14-pOH=14+log[OH^{-}]=14+logx=14+log(3.285\times 10^{-6})=8.52$

Which suitable reagent distinguishes ketones and aldehydes from carboxylic acids and on observation, gives a white precipitate??

OLga [1]

How does one determine the identity and structure of an unknown compound? This is not a trivial task. Modern x-ray and spectroscopic techniques have made the job much easier, but for some very complex molecules, identification and structure determination remains a challenge. In addition to spectroscopic information and information obtained from other instrumental methods, chemical reactions can provide useful structural information, and physical properties can contribute significantly to confirming the identity of a compound.
In this experiment, you will be asked to identify an unknown liquid, which will be either an alcohol, aldehyde, or ketone. Identification will be accomplished by carrying out chemical tests, called classification tests, preparing a solid derivative of the unknown and determining its melting point (MP), making careful observations, and analyzing the NMR spectrum of the unknown.

Reconstruction failed by most other measures: Radical Republican legislation ultimately failed to isotonic former slaves from white persecution and failed to engender fundamental changes to the social fabric of the South. When President Rutherford B. federalism debate that had been an issue since the 1790s almost mediately .
