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 is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 10.0g of kno3 in 250 ml of solution
maw [93]

Answer:

Mass of KNO3= 10g

Molar mass of KNO3 = 101.1032g/mol

Volume = 250ml = 0.25L

No of mole on of KNO3 = mass of KNO3/Molar mass of KNO3

no of mole of KNO3 = 10/101.1032

No of mole of KNO3 = 0.09891

molarity of KNO3 = no of mole of KNO3/Vol (L)

Molarity = 0.09891/0.25 = 0.3956M

Molarity of KNO3 = 0.3956M

What were some reasons why it was a good idea to remove the lid from the separatory funnel after each extraction? Select all tha
masya89 [10]
Liquid will no pour out. At the bottom the separating funnel consists of a valve it allow the liquid to flow out.The lid is on the top to pour in liquid from the top,it is air tight. Therefore as long as the lid is put, the liquid will not flow out at the bottom. The reason is that ,the incoming air has no way to get into the flask.

Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane, butane c4h10, have two more hydrogens ?
Scilla [17]
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
