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}

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Favorite Answer

1.0 x10^-14 = (1.0 x 10^-13) (x)

x = 1.0 x 10^-1 = 0.1 M (this is the [OH-])

pOH = -log 0.1 = 1.0

What aspect of metallic bonding is responsible for malleability ductility and conductivity of metals?
ANTONII [103]
Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: water (H2O), carbon tetrabromide (C
Valentin [98]

Explanation:

  • Water -

It shows , Hydrogen bonding , Since ,

The molecule of water have a strong electronegative atom of oxygen and a hydrogen atom ,

So , the electronegative oxygen atom can interact with the other hydrogen atom of the other water molecule .

  • Carbon tetrabromide -

The molecule of Carbon tetrabromide have polar bonds of carbon and bromine atom , but overall the molecule is non - polar in nature , due to its tetraderal structure , hence ,

the molecule shows only dispersion forces .

  • dichloromethane -

The molecule of dichloromethane has Dipole Dipole forces due to difference in electronegativity between atoms .
