Complete the acid-base reaction between butyric acid HC4H7O2 and potassium hydroxide KOH.

An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.

Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):

HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)

On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:

KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:

HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)

It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.

True

Explanation:

It is correct to say that the biosphere includes all of the fish that are in the ocean. Even though the ocean is part of the hydrosphere.

The biosphere includes all life form on earth wherever they may dwell from deep abyss to the high atmosphere.

The different spheres on earth are interacting with one another and they depend on each other.

Just like the earth systems, the spheres of the earth relates with each other. Even the ocean is contained in the geosphere.

A useful single-displacement reaction involves thermite, which is a
Licemer1 [7]
The reaction of iron (III) oxide and aluminum is initiated by heat released from a small amount "starter mixture". This reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction, a single replacement reaction, producing great quantities of heat (flame and sparks) and a stream of molten iron and aluminum oxide which pours out of a hole in the bottom of the pot into sand.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) --> 2Fe(s) + Al2O3(s) + 850 kJ/mol

Curriculum Notes
This chemical reaction can be used to demonstrate an exothermic reaction, a single replacement or oxidation-reduction reaction, and the connection between ∆H calculated for this reaction using heats of formation and Hess' Law and calculating ∆H for this reaction using qrxn = mc∆T and the moles of limiting reactant. This reaction also illustrates the role of activation energy in a chemical reaction. The thermite mixture must be raised to a high temperature before it will react.

To determine how much thermal energy is released in this reaction, heats of formation values and Hess' Law can be used.

By definition, the deltaHfo of an element in its standard state is zero.

2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) --> 2Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s)

The deltaH for this reaction is the sum of the deltaHfo's of the products - the sum of the deltaHfo's of the reactants (multiplying each by their stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced reaction equation), i.e.:

deltaHorxn = (1 mol)(deltaHfoAl2O3) + (2 mol)(deltaHfoFe) - (1 mol)(deltaHfoFe2O3) - (2 mol)(deltaHfoAl)

deltaHorxn = (1 mol)(-1,669.8 kJ/mol) + (2 mol)(0) - (1 mol)(-822.2 kJ/mol) - (2mol)(0 kJ/mol)

deltaHorxn = -847.6 kJ

The melting point of iron is 1530°C (or 2790°F).
