Conjugate base of Propanoic acid (CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH is propanoate where -COOH group gets converted to -COO^{1-}. The structure of conjugate base of Propanoic acid is shown in the diagram.

The p^{H} above which 90% of the compound will be in this conjugate base form can be determined using Henderson's equation as propanoic acid is weak acid and it can form buffer solution on reaction with strong base.

p^{H}= p^{k_{a}+ log\frac{[Conjugate base]}{[acid]}=4.9+log\frac{90}{10}=5.85

As 90% conjugate base is present, so propanoic acid present 10%.

Calculate the number of atoms in 3mol helium
OleMash [197]
 <span>The chemical formula of Helium is He. 

Question 1 : 

Given n = 1.11 x 10^-6 

To get no. of the particle, 
No of particle = no. of mole x Avogadro Constant 
p = n x NA 

1 mol of Helium = 6.02 x 10^23 

No of atoms = (6.02 x 10^23) x (1.11 x 10^-6) 
= 6.66 x 10^17 

................................ 

Question 2 : 

Given p = 4.29x10^21 

p = n x NA 
4.29 x 10^21 = n x (6.02 x 10^23) 
(4.29 x 10^21) / (6.02 x 10^23) = n 
n = Approximately 7.126 x 10^-3 

Hope the answer is right :)</span>

What is the name of the covalent compound CCl4?
zubka84 [21]
Think, first, about the type of molecule or formula unit you have (covalent or ionic). In this case, it is a covalent molecule. You start with the carbon. You could say monocarbon, but if it is just said to be carbon it is assumed to be one. Then you take the prefix for 4 and tack it on to the beginning of the chlorine. For this, the name is carbon tetrachloride.
