Remember that any intersection of lines is a C, and that the number of hydrogens attached are the necessary to complet the 4 bonds.

1) CH3 - CH (OH) - CH (CH3) -CH3

2) CH3 - O - CH(CH3)-CH2 - CH3

I have used the parenthesis to indicate that the radical inside is in other branch, bonded by a single line -

Acetic acid has a Kb of 2.93 °C/m and a normal boiling point of 118.1 °C. What would be the boiling point of a solution made by

alexdok [17]

Boiling point elevation is given as:

ΔTb=iKbm

Where,

ΔTb=elevation in the boiling point

that is given by expression:

ΔTb=Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent)

Here Tb (pure solvent)=118.1 °C

i for CaCO3= 2

Kb=2.93 °C/m

m=Molality of CaCO₃:

Molality of CaCO₃=Number of moles of CaCO₃/ Mass of solvent (Kg)

=(Given Mass of CaCO3/Molar mass of CaCO₃)/ Mass of solvent (Kg)

=(100.0÷100 g/mol)/0.4

= 2.5 m

So now putting value of m, i and Kb in the boiling point elevation equation we get:

ΔTb=iKbm

=2×2.93×2.5

=14.65 °C

boiling point of a solution can be calculated:

ΔTb=Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent)

14.65=Tb (solution)-118.1

Tb (solution)=118.1+14.65

=132.75

Select the three most acidic hydrogen atoms in lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, and rank them in order of decreasing acidity. Explain

Olin [163]

It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.
