Answer:

a, and f.

Explanation:

To be deprotonated, the conjugate acid of the base must be weaker than the acid that will react, because the reactions favor the formation of the weakest acid. The pKa value measures the strength of the acid. As higher is the pKa value, as weak is the acid. So, let's identify the conjugate acid and their pKas:

a. NaNH2 will dissociate, and NH2 will gain the proton and forms NH3 as conjugate acid. pKa = 38.0, so it happens.

b. NaOH will dissociate, and OH will gain the proton and forms H2O as conjugate acid. pKa = 14.0, so it doesn't happen.

c. NaC≡N will dissociate, and CN will gain a proton and forms HCN as conjugate acid. pKa = 9.40, so it doesn't happen.

d. NaCH2(CO)N(CH3)2 will dissociate and forms CH3(CO)N(CH3)2 as conjugate acid. pKa = -0.19, so it doesn't happen.

e. H2O must gain one proton and forms H3O+. pKa = -1.7, so it doesn't happen.

f. CH3CH2Li will dissociate, and the acid will be CH3CH3. pKa = 50, so it happens.

What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g

Approx. <span>3L</span> of dioxygen gas will be evolved.

Explanation:

We assume that the reaction as written proceeds quantitatively.

Moles of <span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span></span> = <span><span>10.0⋅g</span><span>122.55⋅g⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span></span> = <span>0.0816⋅mol</span>

And thus <span><span>32</span>×0.0816⋅mol</span> dioxygen are produced, i.e. <span>0.122⋅mol</span>.

At STP, an Ideal Gas occupies a volume of <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span>.

And thus, volume of gas produced = <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span>×0.0816⋅mol≅3L</span>

Note that this reaction would not work well without catalysis, typically <span>Mn<span>O2</span></span>.

The chemical formula of bromomethane is BrCH3. Which correctly describes the number of atoms of each element in bromomethane?
Anit [1.1K]

The number of atoms of each element :

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Bromomethane-CH₃Br

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

The number of atoms in a compound is generally indicated as a subscript after the atom

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

Total 5 atoms

A reaction is second order respect to the reactant A. If the reaction is 85% complete in 12 minutes, how long would it take for
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

e. 22s

Explanation:

Initial Concentration = 100

Final concentration = 15 ( Since the reaction is 85% complete)

Time = 12 minutes = 720 seconds

The integrated rate law for second order reactions is given as;

1 / [A] = (1 / [A]o) + kt

Making k subject of interest, we have;

kt = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o )

k = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o ) / t

k = [(1/ 15) - (1 / 100) ] / 720

k = (0.0667 - 0.01 ) / 720

k = 0.0567 / 720

k = 7.875e^-5

How long would it take for the reaction to be 15% complete?

Final concentration = 85 (Since the reaction would be 15% complete)

The integrated rate law for second order reactions is given as;

1 / [A] = (1 / [A]o) + kt

Making t subject of interest, we have;

kt = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o )

t = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o ) / k

t = [(1 / 85 ) - (1 / 100) ] / 7.875e^-5

t = (0.0117 - 0.01 ) / 7.875e^-5

t = 0.001765 / 7.875e^-5

t = 22.41 seconds

Corect option = E.
