Hello!

We have the following data:

ps: we apply Ka in benzoic acid to the solution.

[acid] = 0.235 M (mol/L)

[salt] = 0.130 M (mol/L)

pKa (acetic acid buffer) =?

pH of a buffer =?

Let us first find pKa of benzoic acid, knowing that Ka (benzoic acid) = 6.20*10^{-5}

So:

pKa = - log\:(Ka)

pKa = - log\:(6.20*10^{-5})

pKa = 5 - log\:6.20

pKa = 5 - 0.79

\boxed{pKa = 4.21}

Now, using the abovementioned data for the pH formula of a buffer solution or (Henderson-Hasselbalch equation), we have:

pH = pKa + log\:\dfrac{[salt]}{[acid]}

pH = 4.21 + log\:\dfrac{0.130}{0.235}

pH = 4.21 + log\:0.55

pH = 4.21 + (-0.26)

pH = 4.21 - 0.26

\boxed{\boxed{pH = 3.95}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Note:. The pH <7, then we have an acidic solution.

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

Cuando se quema 1 mol de metano –o sea, 16 g–, se desprenden 802
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1 gramo de metano aporta 50.125 kilojoules.

1 gramo de metano aporta 48.246 kilojoules.

Explanation:

La cantidad de energía liberada por la combustión de una unidad de masa del hidrocarburo (Q), en kilojoules por mol, es igual a la cantidad de energía liberada por mol de compuesto (\bar {Q}), en kilojoules por mol, dividido por su masa molar (M), en gramos por mol:

Q = \frac{\bar Q}{M} (1)

A continuación, analizamos cada caso:

Metano

Q = \frac{802\,\frac{kJ}{mol} }{16\,\frac{g}{mol} }

Q = 50.125\,\frac{kJ}{g}

1 gramo de metano aporta 50.125 kilojoules.

Octano

Q = \frac{5500\,\frac{kJ}{mol} }{114\,\frac{g}{mol} }

Q = 48.246\,\frac{kJ}{mol}

1 gramo de metano aporta 48.246 kilojoules.

Flourine is more reactive than chlorine​
IRISSAK [1]
Justification for your answer

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Chlorine is less reactive than fluorine because the outer electrons in a chlorine atom are further from the nucleus than the outer electrons in a fluorine atom. It is harder for a chlorine atom to gain an electron than it is for a fluorine atom.

There are three things to consider every single time relative reactivity is unknown; atomic radius, shielding, and number of electrons. The reactivity is the halogens ability to gain an electron, so number of electrons already in the atom plays a vital role. Chlorine has more electrons so repels a reacting electron with greater force than fluorine, making it less likely to react.

Fluorine also has fewer electron shells than chlorine, so there are fewer electrons between the positive nucleus and the reacting electron to essentiallly block, or weaken, the electromagnetic attraction. This is shielding. Lastly, fluorine is much smaller molecule than chlorine, and the shorter distance, or radius, between the nucleus and the electron again makes it more likely to attract the electron and react to gain a noble gas configuration.

A variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize serine. The process involves the following steps: Ethox
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

See detailed mechanism in the image attached

Explanation:

The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.

The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.

The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.

Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.

Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.
