Chemistry

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>

Alja [10]

Answer:

C6 H10 O5+ 6O2-----> 6CO2+5H2O+heat

Explanation:

There are 6 carbon atoms in reactants to balance you put coefficient 6.

This makes the oxygen in CO2 12 so to balance put 6 in oxygen in reactants.

There are 10 hydrogen atoms in reactants to balance you put 5 in front of H2O in products.

If u recheck: 6 C atoms in reactants, 6 C atoms in products.

10 H atoms in reactants, 10 H atoms in products.

17 O atoms in reactants, 17 O atoms in products.
