Which of the following item(s) explain the differences between the Ka values. Choose one or more: A. The oxidation state for oxy

gen in trifluoroacetate is more negative than the oxidation state for oxygen in acetate. B. The trifluoroacetate molecule has more resonance structures than the acetate molecule. C. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect. D. The negative charge is on the more electronegative fluorine atom in trifluoroacetate.

Answer:

<em>C. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.</em>

<em>The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.</em>

<em>However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.</em>

<em>Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.</em>

Question 5
pantera1 [17]

Answer: The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) is 3.

Explanation:

To know the coefficient for the diatomic Oxygen, we need to balance the equation.

Fe + O2 ------->   Fe2O3

LHS of the equation; Fe =  1    , O2 = 1

RHS of the equation; Fe = 2 ,  O = 3

∴ Multiply 'Fe' on the LHS of the equation by 4 and O2 by 3

   Doing that will give the balance equation which is;

   4 Fe +  3 O2  --------> 2 Fe2O3

The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) as seen from the equation is 3.

The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1⁰c is defined as
Alex
Specific heat is the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. It is the amount per unit mass that is required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. Every substance has its own specific heat and each has its own distinct value. The units of specific heat are joules per gram-degree Celsius (J/f C) and sometimes J/Kg K may also be used.

26 Which process occurs in an operating voltaic cell?(1) Electrical energy is converted to chemical energy.
tia_tia [17]

Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.

An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
