Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.ClCH2COOHClCH2CH2COOHCH3CH2COOHCl2CHCOOHIn order of highest pka to lowes
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

  • The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
  • The more substituents, the greater the effect.  
  • The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH —  EDG —                         weakest —  pKₐ = 4.82

      CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference —                                     pKₐ = 4.75

  ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger —     pKₐ = 4.00

           ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest —  pKₐ = 2.87

For the chemical reaction CaI2+2AgNO3-&gt; 2AgI+Ca(NO3)2 how many moles of silver iodide will be produced from 205g of calcium i
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Moles of silver iodide produced = 1.4 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium iodide = 205 g

Moles of silver iodide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaI₂ + 2AgNO₃     →      2AgI + Ca(NO₃)₂

Number of moles calcium iodide:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 205 g/ 293.887 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.7 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium iodide with silver iodide.

                     CaI₂         :           AgI

                         1           :             2

                       0.7         :           2×0.7 = 1.4

Thus 1.4 moles of silver iodide will be formed from 205 g of calcium iodide.
