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

Group 7A (17) elements can gain one electron to attain a noble gas electron configuration. In combination with metal atoms that
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two statements are all True for group 7 and 8 elements.

Explanation:

The Group 7 elements are known as the halogens. They are reactive non-metals and are always found in compounds with other elements. Chlorine, bromine and iodine are all halogens.

Chlorine, bromine and iodine are the three common Group 7 elements. Group 7 elements form salts when they react with metals. The term ‘halogen’ means 'salt former'.

In addition to the discription given to norble gases in the question which is true, norble gases;

  •     are inert gases located on the right of the periodic table.
  •     have a full-set of valence electrons, so they're stable, unreactive
  •     are colorless, odorless and tasteless.
  •     have low melting and low boiling points.
  •     can be found in small amounts in the Earth's crust and the Earth's atmosphere.

Fluorine gas reacts with aqueous iron (II) iodine to produce iron (II) fluoride and iodine liquid What is the balanced chemical
Andru [333]

Answer:

F₂ (g) + FeI₂ (aq) →  FeF₂ (aq) +  I₂ (l)

Explanation:

Our reactants are:

F₂ → Fluorine gas, a dyatomic molecule

FeI₂ → Iron (II) iodine

Our products are:

I₂ → Iodine

FeF₂ → Iron (II) fluoride

Then, the reaction is:

F₂ (g) + FeI₂ (aq) →  FeF₂ (aq) +  I₂ (l)

We see it is completely balanced.

In an ecosystem, what do organisms and populations with similar needs compete<br>over?​
hram777 [196]

Answer:

In any ecosystem, organisms and populations with similar requirements for food, water, oxygen, or other resources may compete with each other for limited resources, access to which consequently constrains their growth and reproduction. Growth of organisms and population increases are limited by access to resources.
