Answer : The value of Ka for acetic acid is,  2.03\times 10^{-5}

Explanation :

The chemical formula of acetic acid is, CH_3COOH.

The chemical equilibrium reaction will be:

CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+

Given:

pH = 2.96

First we have to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion.

pH=-\log [H^+]

2.96=-\log [H^+]

[H^+]=1.096\times 10^{-3}M

That means,

[H^+]=[CH_3COO^-]=1.096\times 10^{-3}M

[CH_3COOH]=0.0602-(1.096\times 10^{-3})=0.0591M

The expression for reaction is:

K_a=\frac{[CH_3COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_3COOH]}

K_a=\frac{(1.096\times 10^{-3})\times (1.096\times 10^{-3})}{0.0591}

K_a=2.03\times 10^{-5}

Thus, the value of Ka for acetic acid is,  2.03\times 10^{-5}

The compounds below are to be separated by extraction. A student dissolves the compounds in either and then transfers the soluti
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1) Separate the aqueous layer from the organic layer using the separation funnel.  

2) Treat the aqueous layer to obtain compound A.

3) Distilated the organic layer to obtain compound B.

Explanation:

When <u>NaOH is added</u> to the mixture the acid groups will react to produce a salt and increases the polarity of the compounds due to the net charges generated. (Figure 1).

Therefore, the salt produced by compound A will move to the <u>aqueosus layer</u>. Compound B dont react due to the lack of <u>acid groups</u>. So, this molecule will stay in the <u>organic layer</u>.

When the aqueous layer is separated from the organic layer using the separation funnel we will have a <u>separation</u>. The compound will remain in the aqueous layer and compound b will remain in the organic layer.

Then we aqueous layer can be <u>treated with HCl</u> in order to obtain the initial A molecule, in other words: Undo the ionic form of compound A.

The organic layer can be removed by <u>distillation</u> in order to obtain the pure form of compound B.

2. How many kilometers are in 8432 meters?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

8.432 Kilometers

Explanation:

This is the answer because 1 kilometer equals to 1,000 meters:

1) Divide 8432 with 1,000

2) Once you divide, you will get 8.432 as your answer

Hope this helps!
