Answer:
0.086
Explanation:
A 5.2 molal aqueous solution of methyl alcohol indicates that 5.2 moles of methyl alcohol are present in 1 kilogram (or 1000 g) of water. Water has a molecular weight of 18 g/mol.
(100g)/18g/mol=55.56 mol
5.2 mol/(5.2mol+55.56 mol)=0.086
The best answer among the choices is option D. New substances are being formed will best explain that this process is a chemical change. Although, it cannot be seen directly we knew that an acid and base will undergo neutralization reaction forming a salt and water. The heat given off by the reaction can be a parameter however it does not only happens for reactions. It can also happen when dissolving substances.
You have to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Keep in mind that because the Pka is given the equation changes form slightly:
PH = Pka + log[acid/base]
Step 1 (Figure out the concentrations):
0.282 M of Acid (C6H5OOH) - 0.150 M = 0.132 M of acid
0.282 M of Base (C6HCOO) + 0.150 M = 0.432 M of bas3
Step 2 (Plug into equation):
PH = Pka + log[acid/base]
PH = 4.20 + log[0.132 M/0.432 M]
PH = 3.69
The answer is B. Enzymes.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that help cause reactions in your body.
