An atomic mass unit is defined as a mass equal to one twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The mass of any isotope of any element is expressed in relation to the carbon-12 standard. For example, one atom of helium-4 has a mass of 4.0026 amu. An atom of sulfur-32 has a mass of 31.972 amu.
For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A-
</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>
Answer:
Option (D) freezing point depression
Explanation:
Calcium chloride is added to the roadways after a snowstorm because it reduces the freezing point of the ice. Further more, it has been observed that the calcium chloride also produces enough heat which enhances the melting of the ice as it produces an exothermic reaction.
pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.
<u>Explanation:</u>
HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,
HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻
We can write the equilibrium expression as,
Ka = ![$\frac{[H^{+}] [ClO^{-}] }{[HClO]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%20%5BClO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%20%20%7D%7B%5BHClO%5D%7D)
Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M
4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M = 
Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,
x² = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048
= 1.92 × 10⁻⁹
Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,
x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵
pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]
= - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]
= 4.35
