Answer:

The pH is 1.08, being an acid pH

Explanation:

pH is a parameter used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Values less than 7 indicate the acidity range and those greater than 7 indicate alkalinity or basicity. Value 7 is considered neutral. Mathematically, pH is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen or proton ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

A strong acid is an acid that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution. This implies that the initial concentration of acid is equal to the final concentration of H₃O⁺. This occurs with acid HCl.

So, pH is calculated as:

pH= - log (0.083)

pH= 1.08

The pH is 1.08, being an acid pH

Can all alkyl halides react with water to give alcohols?

Margarita [4]

Not all acid-catalyzed conversions of alcohols to alkyl halides proceed through the formation of carbocations. Primary alcohols and methanol react to form alkyl halides under acidic conditions by an SN2 mechanism.

In these reactions the function of the acid is to produce a protonated alcohol. The halide ion then displaces a molecule of water (a good leaving group) from carbon; this produces an alkyl halide:

Again, acid is required. Although halide ions (particularly iodide and bromide ions) are strong nucleophiles, they are not strong enough to carry out substitution reactions with alcohols themselves. Direct displacement of the hydroxyl group does not occur because the leaving group would have to be a strongly basic hydroxide ion:

We can see now why the reactions of alcohols with hydrogen halides are acid-promoted.

Carbocation rearrangements are extremely common in organic chemistry reactions are are defined as the movement of a carbocation from an unstable state to a more stable state through the use of various structural reorganizational "shifts" within the molecule. Once the carbocation has shifted over to a different carbon, we can say that there is a structural isomer of the initial molecule. However, this phenomenon is not as simple as it sounds.

hich statement is true? A. An acid with a large pKa will be a better conductor of electricity than one with a smaller pKa. B. An

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{B is correct}}$

Explanation:

Kₐ and pKₐ are measures of the strength of an acid. For example,

HX + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + X⁻; Kₐ = 10¹⁰, pKₐ = -10

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻; Kₐ = 10⁻¹⁰, pKₐ = 10

HX is a strong acid, because it has a larger Kₐ, that is, the position of equilibrium lies far to the right.

However, pKₐ is the negative logarithm of Kₐ, so HX has the smaller pKₐ.

Similarly, Ha is a weak acid, but it has the larger pKₐ.

Strong acid: Large Kₐ ⇔ Low pKₐ

Weak acid: Small Kₐ ⇔ High pKₐ

A is wrong. HA is a weak acid, so it produces only a few hydronium ions.

B is correct. The rate of corrosion depends on the concentration of hydronium ions. HA is a weak acid, so it is less corrosive than an acid with a small pKₐ.

C is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so there are more ions to carry the current. HX will be a good conductor of electricity.

D is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so it provides more hydronium ions and is more corrosive.

E is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so it provides more hydronium ions to stimulate the taste buds.

$\boxed{\textbf{B is correct}}$

Calculate the mass of 29.6 L of fluorine gas at STP.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Mass = 25.08 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of fluorine = 29.6 L

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Mass of fluorine = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm × 29.6 L / 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273.15 K

n = 1.32 mol

Mass of fluorine:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.32 mol ×19 g/mol

Mass = 25.08 g
