Answer:

[C₆H₅COO⁻][H₃O⁺]/[C₆H₅COOH] = Ka

Explanation:

The reaction of dissociation of the benzoic acid in water is given by the following equation:

C₆H₅-COOH + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅-COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ (1)

The dissociation constant of an acid is the measure of the strength of an acid:

HA ⇄ A⁻ + H⁺ (2)

$K_{a} = \frac{[A^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HA]}$ (3)

Where the dissociation constant of the acid (Ka) is equal to the ratio of the concentration of the dissociated forms of the acid, [A⁻][H⁺], and the concentration of the acid, [HA].

So, starting from the equations (2) and (3), the constant equation for the dissociation reaction of benzoic acid in water, of the equation (1), is:

$K_{a} = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}COO^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}COOH]}$

I hope it helps you!

If water were a linear (not bent) molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker. wh

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer;

The partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation;

Water is a polar molecule because the electrons are not shared equally, they're closer to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen.

-Normally, the water molecule is a bent shape because of the pair of lone electrons - they repulse each other and exert a compression to the hydrogen atoms at a slight 104º angle. It is a bent molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

-The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104 degrees bond angle. Therefore, the water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs.

Thus, If water were a linear molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker, then the partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

The mole fraction of a non-electrolyte (MM 40.0 g/mol) in a saturated aqueous solution is 0.310. What is the molality of the sol

jeka57 [31]

Answer: The molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

Explanation:

We are given:

Mole fraction of saturated aqueous solution = 0.310

This means that 0.310 moles of non-electrolyte is present.

Moles of water (solvent) = 1 - 0.310 = 0.690 moles

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of water = 0.690 moles

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.690mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.690mol\times 18g/mol)=12.42g$

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molality}=\frac{n_{solute}\times 1000}{W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

Where,

$n_{solute}$ = Moles of solute (non-electrolyte) = 0.310 moles

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 12.42 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of non-electrolyte}=\frac{0.310\times 1000}{12.42}\\\\\text{Molality of non-electrolyte}=24.96m$

Hence, the molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

Carbon dioxide and water react to form bicarbonate ion and hydronium ion. Hyperventilation (rapid breathing) causes more carbon

Juliette [100K]

Hyperventilation will blow off carbon dioxide which reduces the alkaline component of the blood, resulting in acidosis and a lower blood pH. (See Andromeda Strain). This is why re-breathing into a bag to increase carbon dioxide in your blood will make you feel less faint. Basically It increases the pH ... you can look at CO2 as an acid ... and when reduced ... alkalinization of the pH occurs

Which of the following pollutants could be reduced through proper maintenance and area ventilation to improve human health?

azamat

Answer:

Chimney soot

Explanation:

The periodicity of chimney used in homes is very highly harmful to human health.
If proper maintenance and cleanliness and ventilation are taken care of on such organic compounds, it can also control human health.
Carbon compounds form chimneys are highly harmful to human health if timber or coal-fired black chimney soot can be disposed of from time to time and with constant maintenance we can control pollution.
