Step2247 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An organic compound that contains "-COOH" as the function group is known as carboxylic compound.

A carboxylic compound is an acid as it dissociates to give hydrogen ion.

          R-COOH \rightarrow R-COO^{-} + H^{+}

Whereas a compound with functional group "-OH" is known as alcohol.

And, a compound with general formula RCOOR' is known as an ester.

Thus, we can conclude that the R-COOH compound behaves as an acid.

5. What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 4500.0 g. The density of silver is 20.5 g/cm.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>219.5 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 4500 g

density = 20.5 g/cm³

We have

volume =  \frac{4500 }{20.5}  \\  = 219.51219...

We have the final answer as

<h3>219.51 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

At a particular temperature, 12.0 moles of so3 is placed into a 3.0-l rigid container, and the so3 dissociates by the reaction 2
saul85 [17]
            2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I             12             0          0
C           -2x           +2x      +x
---------------------------------------------
E         12-2x          2x         x

Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5

The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]² 
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.

K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>
