Answer:

The answers are (A.) Carboxylate ions have resonance, while alkoxides and acetylides don't (D.) Both carboxylic acids and carboxylates have resonance stabilization

Explanation:

When alcohols or alkynes donate a proton (H+), they become alkoxides acetylides respectively. Carboxylic acids on the other hand form carboxylate ions.

Carboxylate ions are more stable than their alkoxide and acetylides counterparts, because they possess a resonance structure which disperses its negative charge and allows for the valence electrons to be effectively delocalized.

Hence, carboxylic are more acidic than alcohols or alkynes.

How many grams of sulfuric acid is needed to neutralize 380 ml of solution with pH = 8.94

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer : The mass of sulfuric acid needed is $16.23\times 10^{-5}g$ .

Solution : Given,

pH = 8.94

Volume of solution = 380 ml = $380\times 10^{-3}$ $(1ml=10^{-3}L)$

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98.079 g/mole

As we know,

$pH+pOH=14\\pOH=14-8.94=5.06$

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

$5.06=-log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=0.00000871=8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $OH^-$ .

Formula used : $Moles=Concentration\times Volume$

$\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Concentration of }[OH^-]\times Volume\\\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=(8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L)\times (380\times 10^{-3}L)=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles$

For neutralization, equal number of moles of $H^+$ ions will neutralize same number of $OH^-$ ions.

$\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Moles of }[H^+]=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles$

As, $H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO^{2-}_4$

From this reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of $H^+$ ion is given by the 1 mole of $H_2SO_4$

$3309.8\times 10^{-9}$ moles of $H^+$ ion is given by $\frac{3309.8\times 10^{-9}}{2}=1654.9\times 10^{-9}$ moles of $H_2SO_4$

Now we have to calculate the mass of sulfuric acid.

Mass of sulfuric acid = Moles of $H_2SO_4$ × Molar mass of sulfuric acid

Mass of sulfuric acid = $(1654.9\times 10^{-9}moles)\times (98.079g/mole)=162310.94\times 10^{-9}=16.23\times 10^{-5}g$

Therefore, the mass of sulfuric acid needed is $16.23\times 10^{-5}g$ .

Question 7 of 32

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The battery of a phone contains stores chemical energy. This energy is converted into electrical energy primarily when the phone is turned on. The chemical energy is also converted into light energy, sound energy and heat energy. With the passage of time, the energy will be changed back into the chemical energy when we will charge the phone again.

2000 minutes to hours dimensional analysis

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

33.33 h

Explanation:

You know that

1 h = 60 min

If you divide both sides by 60 min, you get the conversion factor: 1 h/60 min = 1.

If you divide both sides by 1 h, you get the conversion factor: 1 = 60 min/1 h.

Both are conversion factors because they both equal one and multiplying a measurement by one does not change its value.

You choose the conversion factor that gives you the correct dimensions for your answer. It must have the correct dimensions on top (in the numerator),

Thus, to convert 2000 min to hours, you use the conversion factor with “h” on the top.

$\text{Time} = \text{2000 min} \times \dfrac{\text{1 h}}{\text{60 min}} = \textbf{33.33 h}$
