Answer:
Aqueous NaOH: <u>soluble
</u>
Aqueous NaHCO₃: <u>insoluble</u>
Aqueous Na₂CO₃: <u>soluble</u>
Explanation:
The organic acid is insoluble. Its salt (ionic) is soluble.
The important principle is:
If you have two acids in a flask, the stronger acid (smaller pKₐ) will protonate the weaker one. The stronger acid will become ionic and therefore more soluble.
1. In NaOH
Let's write the formula for 4-nitrobenzoic acid as HA.
The equation for the reaction is
HA + OH⁻ ⇌ A⁻ + H₂O
pKₐ: 7.15 15.7
HA is the stronger acid. It will protonate the hydroxide ion and be converted to the soluble 4-nitrobenzoate ion.
4-Nitrophenol is soluble in NaOH.
2. In NaHCO₃
HA + HCO₃⁻ ⇌ A⁻ + H₂CO₃
pKₐ: 7.15 6.36
HCO₃⁻ is the stronger acid. It will protonate 4-nitrophenol.
4-Nitrobenzoic acid is insoluble in NaHCO₃.
3. In Na₂CO₃
HA + CO₃²⁻ ⇌ A⁻ + H₂CO₃
pKₐ: 7.15 10.33
HA is the stronger acid. It will protonate the carbonate ion.
4-Nitrophenol is soluble in Na₂CO₃.
Answer:
a. The rate of the reaction is not proportional to the concentration of the reactant.
Explanation:
The rate expression for a zero order reaction is given as;
A → Product
Rate = k[A]⁰
[A]⁰ = 1
Rate = K
GGoing through the options;
a) This is correct because in the final form of the rate expression, the rate is independent of the concentration.
b) This option is wrong
c) This option is also wrong
d) Like options b and c this is also wrong becaus ethere is no relationship between either the concentration or t.
