It is possible to prepare ethanol by nucleophilic substitution. For an electrophile, you could choose EtCl, EtBr, or EtI; for a

nucleophile you could choose LiOH, NaOH, or KOH. Which combination of reactants/reagents would be most atom economical? Provide a qualitative explanation for your answer. HTML EditorKeyboard Shortcuts

Answer:

The reactant/reagent that would be most atom economical is EtI (Ethy Iodide) and KOH (potassium oxide) as base

This is because the iodo group are weak base hence they have a good leaving character (i.e they are unstable on their own ) which would increase the rate of reaction and the strong base KOH give the most atom economical

What is the molarity of HCl if 34.81 mL of a solution of HCl contain 0.3297 g of HCl?
Temka [501]

Answer:

0.2598 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L, so we have to convert the grams to moles and the mL to L. To convert between grams and moles you need the molar mass of the compound, which is 36.46g/mol.

0.3297gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.46gHCL} = 0.00904279 mol HCl

34.81 mLHCl * \frac{1L}{1000L} = 0.03481 L HCl

\frac{0.00904279molHCl}{0.03481 L HCl} = 0.25977554 mol/L

Round to the lowest number of significant figures = 0.2598 M

The Ka of carbonic acid is 4.3 x 10-7.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

poor hydrogen-ion donor

Explanation:

Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

Note these as a rule of thumb:

When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.

When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.

Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.
