Grease and non-polar too, so the tetrachloroethylene would be a solvent.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

C. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.

Explanation:

The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.

The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.

However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.

Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.

Hope this helps!

Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Step 1: Define

[Given] 7.2 × 10¹⁵ atoms Pb

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 7.2 \cdot 10^{15} \ atoms \ Pb(\frac{1 \ mol \ Pb}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pb})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 1.19562 \cdot 10^{-8} \ mol \ Pb$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

1.19562 × 10⁻⁸ mol Pb ≈ 1.2 × 10⁻⁸ mol Pb
