Answer:

finding the mass percentage oven element in a compound might sound complicated, but the calculation is simple. For example, to determine the mass percentage of hydrogen in water H2O, divide the major mass of hydrogen by the total molar mass of water and then multiply the result by 100

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

$Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}$

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

$Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}$

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

$pH = -log[H^+]$ [/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

$[H^+]=10^-^p^H$

$[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1$

$[H^+]$ = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

$Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}$

$Ka=1.53*10^-^5$

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Why does naphthalene have a higher melting point than biphenyl?

AlexFokin [52]

<span>Naphthalene has a higher melting point than biphenyl because naphthalene is a polar compound while biphenyl is a non-polar compound.</span> Studies show <span>that polar compounds have higher melting and boiling points than nonpolar compounds. It is because polar compounds have strong intermolecular forces.</span>

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Scientific reasoning

Explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.
