Ascorbic acid (vitamin

Chemistry
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

Why do alligators need a warm climate?
Reptile [31]
<span>The answer is B.They cannot produce enough heat to keep their bodies warm.

In order to survive, the alligators rely on warm weather, and they are most active when the environment is 82-92 degrees Fahrenheit. They can survive below or above this temperature range but they may spend that time struggling to stay warm or stay cool.

Equal molar quantities of Ca2 and EDTA (H4Y) are added to make a 0.010 M solution of CaY2- at pH 10. The formation constant for
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

Formation constant Kf

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

Now,

[y^{4-] = \alpha _4CH_4Y; ∝₄ = 0.35

so the equilibrium is;

Ca^{2+ + H_4Y ⇄  CaY^{2- + 4H⁺

Given that; CH_4Y = Ca^{2+     { 1 mol Ca^{2+  reacts with 1 mol H_4Y  }

so at equilibrium, CH_4Y = Ca^{2+ = x

∴

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

x        + x         0.010-x

since Kf is high, them x will be small so, 0.010-x is approximately 0.010

so;

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) =  CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / ( [x][ 0.35 × x] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / 0.35x²  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / ( 0.35 × 5.0 × 10¹⁰ )

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³

⇒ x = √(5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³)

⇒ x = 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Therefore, the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

An isopropyl solution contains 70 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.8 L of water. What is the percent by volume of the alcohol
xenn [34]

Answer:

3.74%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1800 mL of water+ 70 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:   70/(1800+70) *100 = 0.0374*100 =  3.74%
