Select the three most acidic hydrogen atoms in lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, and rank them in order of decreasing acidity. Explain
Olin [163]
It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.

6. The gas in a steel cylinder is at 55 °C and a pressure of 965 mmHg. What would be the temperature,
ohaa [14]

Answer:

91.4°C

Explanation:

Gay - Lussac Law => T ∝ P => T = kP => k = T/P with volume (V) and mass (n) constant.

For two different Temperature (T)-Pressure (P) conditions

k₁ = k₂ => T₁/P₁ = T₂/P₂ => T₂ = T₁(P₂/P₁)

T₁ = 55°C = (55 + 273)K = 328K      

P₁ = 965 mmHg

T₂ =  ?

P₂ = 850 mmHg

T₂ = T₁(P₂/P₁) = 328K(850 mmHg/965 mmHg) = 364K = (364 - 273)°C = 91.4°C
