Litharge is a yellow oxide of lead with a formula of PbO, which is formed by heating lead metal in air. 
The mass of one mole of PbO is 223.2 grams
1 mole of PbO contains 16 g of oxygen
Therefore; the percentage of oxygen will be;
     (16/223.2) × 100 = 7.168 %

The  %  composition  by mass  of oxygen in litharge ( grams formula mass=223.2 g/mol) is  calculated as  below

%  composition is   percentage  by mass  of  each   element  in a  compound
which  is  calculated  as follows

%composition = molar mass  of element/molar  mass  of  compound  x100

The  molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

therefore the % composition  = 16 g/mol/ 223.2 g/ mol  x100 = 7.17 %  of oxygen

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.ClCH2COOHClCH2CH2COOHCH3CH2COOHCl2CHCOOHIn order of highest pka to lowes
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

  • The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
  • The more substituents, the greater the effect.  
  • The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH —  EDG —                         weakest —  pKₐ = 4.82

      CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference —                                     pKₐ = 4.75

  ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger —     pKₐ = 4.00

           ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest —  pKₐ = 2.87
