Which regions on the periodic table can adopt positive and negative oxidation numbers?

1 answer:

7 0

The region(s) of the periodic table which are made up of elements that can adopt both positive and negative oxidation numbers are the “non-metal” region. As we can see on the periodic table, the elements situated at the right side of the table have two oxidation states, one positive and the other a negative.

Which of the following is not conserved in a chemical reaction?

Mass is not conserved in chemical reactions. Mass is therefore never conserved because a little of it turns into energy in every reaction

Conociendo el volumen de la solución y la masa del soluto y su masa molar, ¿qué concentración es posible determinar

NISA [10]

Answer:

Conociendo el volumen de solución, masa de soluto y su masa molar, es posible determinar: B) Concentración molar

La molaridad es la relación entre el número de moles de soluto y los litros de solución. Más:

M = No moles de solución de soluto / volumen (L)

Y a su vez los moles de soluto se encuentran por:

No moles de soluto = masa soluto / masa molar soluto

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856$

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right] & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}$

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}$

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for pKₐ:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the pKₐ value of lactic acid is about 3.856.
