Explanation:

  • As it is given that boiling point of propanamide is very high. So, reason for this is that easy formation of hydrogen bonds which are strong enough that we have to provide large amount of heat to break it.

As in -NH_{2}, the hydrogen atoms which are present are positive in nature. Due to this they are able to form hydrogen bonds with the neighboring oxygen atom.

Hence, these bonds are so strong that high heat needs to given to break them.

  • A propanoic acid contain carboxylic group as the functional group. So, this group is also able to form hydrogen bonding as it forms a hydrogen bond between an acid group and hydroxyl group of neighboring molecule.

Hence, it will also require high heat to break the bond due to which there will be increase in boiling point.

  • In propanal, there is presence of aldehyde functional group and three carbon atoms chain which will not form strong bonding with the hydrogen atom of CHO. Due to this there will exist weak Vander waal's force that is not at all strong enough.

As a result, less energy will be needed to break the bonds in propanal. Hence, it has very low boiling point.

Acetic acid has a pKa of 4.74. Buffer A: 0.10 M HC2H3O2, 0.10 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer B: 0.30 M HC2H3O2, 0.30 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer C: 0.5

Answer:

Buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

Buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

Explanation:

An effective weak acid-conjugate base buffer should have pH equal to pK_{a} of the weak acid. For buffers with the same pH, higher the concentrations of the components in a buffer, higher will the buffer capacity.

Acetic acid is a weak acid and CH_{3}COO^{-} is the conjugate base So, all the given buffers are weak acid-conjugate base buffers. The pH of these buffers are expressed as (Henderson-Hasselbalch):

pH=pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)+log\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)=4.74

Buffer A:    pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.10})=4.74

Buffer B:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.30}{0.30})=4.74

Buffer C:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.50})=4.04

So, both buffer A and buffer B has same pH value which is also equal to pK_{a} . Buffer B has higher concentrations of the components as compared to buffer A, Hence, buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

The pH of buffer C is far away from pK_{a} . Therefore, buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

A reaction produced 37.5 L of oxygen gas at 307 K and 1.25 atm. How many moles of oxygen were produced?
MariettaO [177]

On the basis of the given data:

Volume (V) is 37.5 L

Temperature (T) is 307 K

Pressure (P) is 1.25 atm

In order to calculate the number of moles, the formula to be used is PV = nRT, Here R is 0.0821 Latm/mol/K

n = PV / RT

n = 1.25 atm × 37.5 L / 0.0821 Latm/mol/K × 307 K

n = 1.85 mol
