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.

Taylor, a MIC 206 student needs to determine the OCD of a sample of Escherichia coli. She performed dilutions using four 9 ml di
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

1.37 x 10^6 CFU/mL

Explanation:

First, the dilution factor needs to be calculated.

Since four 9 ml dilution blanks were prepared, the dilution factor that yielded 137 colonies is of 10^{-4}.

Next is to divide the colony forming unit from the dilution by the dilution factor:

   137/10^{-4} = 137 x 10^4

In order to get the CFU/ml, divide the CFU from the dilution by the plated volume (1 mL) from the final dilution tube.

   137 x 10^4/1 = 1.37 x 10^6

Hence, the CFU/ml present in the original <em>E. coli </em> sample is 1.37 x 10^6.

cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate

The North Pole of a magnet will attract to the South Pole of another magnet. True or False
hodyreva [135]

pretty sure its True hope this helped

Explanation:

A magnet has two ends called poles; one end is the north pole and the other is the south pole. A north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away. ... The magnet is attracted by the earth's magnetic north pole and always points in that direction.

What are two elements that produce background radiation on earth and what do their decay equations look like?
AlekseyPX
The two elements that produce background radiation on earth are Radon and Uranium. Airborne radon can decay on its own. Radon undergoes alpha decay to produce Polonium. Uranium naturally undergoes alpha decay to produce Thorium.
