Answer:

The Ka for this acid is 1.4 * 10^-4 (option C)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

In a 0.20M aqueous solution, lactic acid is 2.6% dissociated.

Step 2: The equation for the dissociation of HAc is:

HAc ⇌ H+ + Ac¯

The Ka expression is:

Ka = ([H+] [Ac¯]) / [HAc]

1) [H+] using the concentration and the percent dissociation:

(0.026) (0.2) = 0.0052 M

2) Calculate [Ac-] and [H+]

[Ac¯] = [H+] = x = 0.0052 M

3) Calculate [HAc]

[HAc] = 0.20M - x ( since x << 0.20, we can assume [HAc]  = 0.20 M

4) Calculate Ka

Ka= [( 0.0052) ( 0.0052)] / 0.20

Ka = 0.0001352 = 1.4 * 10^-4

The Ka for this acid is 1.4 * 10^-4

Identify what type of reaction is below. Also, determine what coefficients that would balance the chemical equation. ___ C4H10 +
Evgen [1.6K]

This is a combustion reaction because it is being combined with oxygen. Then to balance you will put the number of carbons you have or 4 in front of the CO2 and then same with H2. Then you will add up the oxygen and divide it by two to get. 1, (13/2), 4, 5

A compound with molecular formula C5H10O2 has the following 1H NMR spectrum: 1.15 (t, 3H), 1.25 (t, 3H), 2.33 (q, 2H), 4.13 (q,
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Ethyl propionate

Explanation:

Calculating the double bond equivalence as:

DBE =  C - (H/2) - (X/2) + (N/2) +1

Where  

C is the number of carbon atoms

N is the number of nitrogen atoms

X is the number of halogens

H is the number of hydrogen atoms

So, according to the formula, C_5H_{10}O_2

DBE =  5 - (10/2) - (0/2) + (0/2) +1 = 1

It means there is one double bond or one ring.

from the NMR signal, it is clear that compound has two triplet and two quardrate group that means two -CH3 and two -CH2 groups are present.

From the splitting information, it is clear that each the -CH2- group is next to a -CH3, and vice-versa. In this case ring structure is not possible.

The chemical shift of two protons 4.13 ppm(q, 2H) is for protons next to an O atom, therefore, compound must have

-OCH_2CH_3.

Then the signal at 2.33 is for a -CH2-group next to a C=O. So compound must have a structure CH3-CH2-C=O. Now, there is only one way to complete the structure - by bonding the O to the C=O carbon.

So the compound is ethyl propionate
