When we know the Pka value = 4.19 

so, we are going to use H-H equation:

PH = Pka + ㏒[benzoate/benzoic acid]

when we have PH = 4.25 

and Pka = 4.19 

so by substitution:

4.25 = 4.19 + ㏒[benzaoate/ benzoic acid]

∴ [benzaoate/benzoic acid] = 1.148 M

when the [benzoic acid ] = 0.15 m 

∴ [benzaoate] = 1.148M * 0.15m 

                        = 0.1722 M

∴ moles of sodium benzoate = molarity * volume L

                                                 = 0.1722 M * 0.15 L 

                                                 = 0.02583 moles

∴ the mass = moles * molar mass

                   = 0.02583 moles* 144 g/mol

                   = 3.72 g

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

H3C - O - O - CH -HCOCH2.

Explanation:

Before chemical reaction can occur, some steps has to be followed in order to give the final product (s), this steps can be shown by drawing the chemical compound and showing how bonds are being broken or formed. Showing this in a stepwise manner is known as reaction mechanism.

From the question above, it is given that the products after heating the reactant gives H3C—0. +.0—CH HCO CH2.

The starting material can be deduce as;

H3C - O - O - CH -HCOCH2.

Heat causes something to divide or melt. Kindly check the attached picture which shows how the deduced starting compound splits to give H3C—0. and .0—CH HCO CH2.

Design a synthesis of 2-bromo-1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene from benzene or any mono-substituted benzene. Part 1 out of 6 choose the b
Oxana [17]

2-bromo-1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene  is being synthesized in following sequence:

Step 1: Chlorination of Benzene:

                                                     This is Halogenation reaction of benzene. In this step benzene is reacted with Chlorine gas in the presence of lewis acid (i.e. FeCl₃). This results in the formation of Chlorobenzene as shown in red step below.

Step 2: Nitration of Chlorobenzene:

                                                          The chlorine atom on benzene has a ortho para directing effect. Therefore, the nitration of chlorobenzene will yield para nitro chlorobenzene as shown in blue step below.

Step 3: Bromination of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene:

                                                                               In this step bromination is done by reacting bromine in the presence of lewis acid. The chlorine being ortho para directing in nature and nitro group being meta directing in nature will direct the incoming Br⁺ (electrophile) to the desired location. Hence, 2-bromo-1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene is synthesized in good yield.

Why does sodium form a 1+ ion but magnesium forms a 2+ ion
NARA [144]
Because Na has one too many electron to be stable, while Mg has 2. once they loose those electrons, they will be come ion. loosing one electron will give the ion a 1+ charge, and loosing 2 will create a 2+ charge

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
