C16H32O2(aq) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) ... said its wrong though?
<span>This is because you haven't added any oxygen needed for the combustion, so your equation does'nt balance. Also a solution in water [aq] doesn't burn! </span>
<span>Try </span><span>C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l)
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer:
a. 1.78x10⁻³ = Ka
2.75 = pKa
b. It is irrelevant.
Explanation:
a. The neutralization of a weak acid, HA, with a base can help to find Ka of the acid.
Equilibrium is:
HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
And Ka is defined as:
Ka = [H⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]
The HA reacts with the base, XOH, thus:
HA + XOH → H₂O + A⁻ + X⁺
As you require 26.0mL of the base to consume all HA, if you add 13mL, the moles of HA will be the half of the initial moles and, the other half, will be A⁻
That means:
[HA] = [A⁻]
It is possible to obtain pKa from H-H equation (Equation used to find pH of a buffer), thus:
pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]
Replacing:
2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]
As [HA] = [A⁻]
2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ 1
<h3>2.75 = pKa</h3>
Knowing pKa = -log Ka
2.75 = -log Ka
10^-2.75 = Ka
<h3>1.78x10⁻³ = Ka</h3>
b. As you can see, the initial concentration of the acid was not necessary. The only thing you must know is that in the half of the titration, [HA] = [A⁻]. Thus, the initial concentration of the acid doesn't affect the initial calculation.

Answer:
Option C is correct.
Explanation:
The graph shows birth and death rate in Japan. Birth rate has declined with the passage of time, as shown in the form of blue line whereas death rate is nearly constant, which can be seen as red line. More precisely, birth rate has decreased from ~30 to 10 whereas death rate is nearly ~10 all the times, although it was slightly decreased in the middle. Therefore, option C is the correct option...
