Answer:

The comparison is between Fuel canister (diethylene glycol) or Tea candle (paraffin)

The answer is tea candle( paraffin)

Explanation:

A fuel’s efficiency is based on its reaction with air(oxygen). It is said to be efficient when it burns well when exposed to air(oxygen).

Tea candle( paraffin) burns more efficiently in the presence of oxygen when compared to fuel canister( diethylene glycol) due to the hydrogen bonds in the molecules of fuel canister( diethylene glycol) making it more stable and having a lesser affinity to air (oxygen) than those of tea candle (paraffin).

What is the h+ concentration in a urine sample that has a ph of 6?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Remember pH is defined as: pH = -log[H+]

so, substituting

4 = - log[H+]

-4 = log [H+] Take antilog of both sides

10^(-4) = [H+]

[H+] = 1 x 10^-4 M

Acetic acid (ch3cooh) and trifluoroacetic acid (cf3cooh) are shown by these particulate models. the ka for trifluoroacetic acid

V125BC [204]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the models, we will see that the three fluorine atoms in CF3COOH are attached to the carbon that is next to the -COOH group.

As a result of the electron withdrawing effect of the three fluorine atoms, CF3COOH is much more acidic (104 times more acidic) than CH3COOH. This is reflected in the value of the Ka for each acid.

This electron withdrawing effect of the three fluorine atoms also stabilizes CF3COO- much more than CH3COO-.
