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 do we balance Zn + HNO3 Zn(NO3)2 + NO + H20​
USPshnik [31]

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

  • 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.  
  • 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product  
  • 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:  

Balancing C atoms, H and the last O atoms

Reaction

Zn + HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

  • 1. gives a coefficient

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O

  • 2. make an equation

Zn : left = a, right =1 ⇒a=1

H : left = b, right = 2d⇒ b=2d (eq 1)

N : left = b, right = 2+c⇒b=2+c (eq 2)

O : left = 3b, right = 6+c+d ⇒3b=6+c+d(eq 3)

  • From eq 1 and eq 3

3(2d)=6+c+d

6d=6+c+d

5d=6+c (eq 4)

  • From eq 2 and eq 3

3(2+c)=6+c+d

6+3c=6+c+d

2c=d (eq 5)

  • From eq 4 and eq 5

5(2c)=6+c

10c=6+c

9c=6

c = 2/3

  • input eq 5

d = 2 x 2/3

d = 4/3

  • input eq 1

b = 2 x 4/3

b = 8/3

The equation

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O to

Zn + 8/3HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2/3NO + 4/3H₂O x 3

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

What is the correct iupac name of CH3-CH2-CH2CHO ?
kow [346]

the correct IUPAC name of the compound is 1-Butanal.

<h3>What are IUPAC names?</h3>

It is a system of naming organic compounds based on the longest carbon-to-carbon single bonds. It does not matter whether these longest chains are continuous or in a ring.

Thus, when the compound with the chemical formula, CH3-CH2-CH2CHO is considered. The longest carbon-to-carbon chain is 4. The 1st carbon carries a functional group known as an aldehyde.

Aldehydes are equipped with the carbonyl group and have the general formula R−CH=O. They are also sometimes referred to as formyl.

Aldehydes are named after their parent alkane chains with a slight modification. The 'e' is replaced with 'al'

The aldehyde in this case has four carbons. This means that the parent alkane is Butane. Therefore, the name of the compound will be 1-Butanal.
