WHY ACETIC ACID IS STRONGER IN STRENGHT THAN CHLOROACETIC ACID ...?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]3 years ago
6 0
For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A- 

</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>

How many millimeters are there in 5.12 x 10^5
Anton [14]

Answer:

5.12x10¹¹ millimeters

Explanation:

Milli is a prefix used in science and engineering to decribe the number as the exponent x10⁻³. In the prefix kilo, the number is at the exponent x10³.

5.12x10⁵ kilometers are:

5.12x10⁵ kilometers * (1000m / 1km) = 5.12x10⁸ meters

5.12x10² meters * (1m / 1000millimeters) = 5.12x10¹¹ millimeters
