Answer:

Acetic acid Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵

Trichloroacetic acid Ka = 2 × 10⁻¹

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid dissociation of acetic acid.

CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

- pKa = log Ka

Ka = anti log (-pKa)

Ka = anti log (-4.76)

Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵

Let's consider the acid dissociation of trichloroacetic acid.

CCl₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CCl₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa of trichloroacetic acid is 0.7. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

- pKa = log Ka

Ka = anti log (-pKa)

Ka = anti log (-0.7)

Ka = 2 × 10⁻¹

How many moles of chloride ions are there in 2.5 L of 5 M magnesium chloride?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

n_{Cl^-}=25molCl^-

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the given 5-M concentration of magnesium chloride is expressed as:

5\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}

We can notice that one mole of salt contains two moles of chloride ions as the subscript of chlorine is two, in such a way, with the volume of solution we obtain the moles of chloride ions as shown below:

n_{Cl^-}=5\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{2molCl^-}{1molMgCl_2} *2.5L\\\\n_{Cl^-}=25molCl^-

Best regards.

Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, how much mass does it contain?
rewona [7]
Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, then the mass it contains would be 1 g. <span>Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
