You must know the concentration of the acetic acid. Suppose the concentration is 0.1 M. The solution is as follows:

            CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
 I                  0.1               0              0
C                 -x                +x            +x
E              0.1 - x             x               x

Ka = (x)(x)/(0.1 - x)
1.8×10⁻⁵ = x²/(0.1 - x)
Solving for x,
x = 1.333×10⁻³ = H⁺

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(1.333×10⁻³)
pH = 2.88

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
icang [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that length of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond strength. This also means that a single bond has long length due to which it is weak in nature.

And, a double bond is shorter in length and has more strength as compared to a single bond. Whereas a triple bond has the smallest length and it has high strength as compared to a double or single bond.

For example, carbon monoxide is CO where there is a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

Carbon dioxide is CO_{2} where there exists a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

A carbonate ion is CO^{2-}_{3} when two oxygen atoms are attached through single bond with the carbon atom and another oxygen atom is attached through a double bond to the carbon atom.

Hence, we can conclude that order of increasing bond strength of the given carbon oxygen bond is as follows.

        Carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Help please
Serga [27]

Answer:

  • C. it is a strong acid since the blue litmus paper turns red and the pH is 1.7

Explanation:

As per table gastric juice has pH of 1.7 which is the strong acid. If you remember, 0-7 range determines acids and litmus paper confirms that by turning red.

So correct choice is C.

Predict what would happen if the ammonium system described in the experiment was heated.
Stella [2.4K]
Answer is: concentration of products increases (ammonia nad water).
Chemical reaction: heat + NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ ⇄ NH₃ + H₂<span>O.
</span>According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, because heat is increased, system consume that heat, so equilibrium is shifted to right, by decreasing concentration of reaactants and increasing concentration of product.
