Answer:
pKa = 3.675
Explanation:
∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M
∴ pH = 2.40
let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):
∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-
⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]
mass balance:
⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]
⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]
charge balance:
⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water
⇒ [H+] = [A-]
∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40
⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M
replacing in Ka:
⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )
⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )
⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4
⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )
⇒ pKa = 3.675

Answer:
The strength of a bond depends on the amount of overlap between the two orbitals of the bonding atoms
Orbitals bond in the directions in which they protrude or point to obtain maximum overlap
Explanation:
The valence bond theory was proposed by Linus Pauling. Compounds are firmed by overlap of atomic orbitals to attain a favourable overlap integral. The better the overlap integral (extent of overlap) the better or stringer the covalent bond.
Orbitals overlap in directions which ensure a maximum overlap of atomic orbitals in the covalent bond.
