Which of the following item(s) explain the differences between the Ka values. Choose one or more: A. The negative charge is on t

he more electronegative fluorine atom in trifluoroacetate. B. The oxidation state for oxygen in trifluoroacetate is more negative than the oxidation state for oxygen in acetate. C. The trifluoroacetate molecule has more resonance structures than the acetate molecule. D. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.

Answer:

D. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.

Explanation:

The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.

The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.

However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.

Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.

2 moles of ZnO are produced if 1 mole of Zn and 2 moles of O_2 is required.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Balanced equation:

2 Zn + O_2 → 2 ZnO

For 2 moles of Zinc, we need 1 mol of Oxygen to produce 2 moles of Zinc oxide

For 1 mole Zn, we need 2 mol O_2 to produce 2 moles ZnO only.

Hence, 2 moles ZnO is produced.

A nugget of gold is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 80 mL of water. The water level rises to 225 mL after the nugge
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<h2>145 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of the nugget can be found by using the formula

volume of object = final volume of water - initial volume of water

From the question

final volume of water = 225 mL

initial volume = 80 mL

We have

volume = 225 - 80 = 145 mL

We have the final answer as

<h3>145 mL</h3>
