Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

We will consider the acid as HA and will set up an ICE table with the equilibrium dissociation of α.

AT pH 2.4 the initial H+ concentration will be 3.98^10-3 M

                      HA →              H+         +      A-

Initial concentration:  0.1    →  3.98 ^10-3       +      0

equilibrium concentration:  0.1(1-α) →   3.98 * 10-3 + 0.1α              0.1α

pKa of chloroacetic acid is 2.9

-log(Ka) = 2.9

Ka = 1.26 * 10-3

From the equation, Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

1.26 * 10-3 = (3.98 * 10-3 + 0.1α )* 0.1α / 0.1(1-α)      

Since α<<1, we assume 1-α = 1

Solving the equation, we have: α = 0.094

Since this is the fraction of acid that has dissociated, we can say that % of base form = 100 * α= 9.4%

Identify the type of chemical reaction of cobalt (III) fluoride
zysi [14]

The compound crystallizes in the aluminium trifluoride motif. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand. The cobalt centers are octahedral.


CoF3 decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen:


4 CoF3 + 2 H2O → 4 HF + 4 CoF2 + O2

It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion [CoF6]3−, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center.

4. Cuál es la aplicación de las reacciones de óxido-reducción en la vida diaria y en la industria?
12345 [234]

Answer:

<em>Dentro de las aplicaciones de la óxido-reducción se pueden encontrar:</em>

  1. <u><em>La obtención del aluminio a partir de la alúmina y la electrolisis.</em></u>
  2. <u><em>La obtención de cloro, hidrógeno e hidróxido de sodio a partir del cloruro de sodio y la electrolisis.</em></u>
  3. <u><em>La combustión interna de un motor a gasolina u otro combustible fósil.</em></u>
  4. <u><em>Las termoeléctricas, las cuales para generar energía realizan combustión de carbón.</em></u>
  5. <u><em>La galvanoplastia, donde para evitar la corrosión de un metal se recubre con otro metal más resistente, por ejemplo: el recubrimiento del acero con zinc.</em></u>
  6. <u><em>La pilas o baterías de las cuales se obtiene energía química</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Como puedes ver en la respuesta, la óxido-reducción tiene diversas aplicaciones en la vida moderna, desde todos los tipos de combustión los cuales sirven para brindar energía o movilizarte, hasta todas las funciones que se le ha dado a la electrolisis y a la obtención de la energía por medios químicos, incluso se puede considerar una aplicación de la óxido-reducción la incorporación de antioxidantes en los alimentos, los cuales disminuyen la velocidad de descomposición de los mismos. </em>
