Explanation:
An element just has one-type atoms/atom (e.g. O2). Meanwhile, a compound is a variety of atoms (e.g. H2O).
To calculate the pKa of the weak acid, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. It is expressed as pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]. This equation takes into account the concentration of the substance that does not dissociates into ions since it is a weak acid. We caculate as follows:
pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]
9 = pKa - log 1/100
pKa = 7
Molality of the solution is defined as the number of moles of a substance dissolved divided by the mass of the solvent:
Molality = number of moles / solvent mass
From the concentration of 39% (by mass) of HCl in water, we construct the following reasoning:
in 100 g solution we have 39 g hydrochloric acid (HCl)
number of moles = mass / molecular weight
number of moles of HCl = 39 / 36.5 = 1.07 moles
solvent (water) mass = solution mass - hydrochloric acid mass
solvent (water) mass = 100 - 39 = 61 g
Now we can determine the molality:
molality = 1.07 moles / 61 g = 0.018
Answer:
A) An Alkaline
Explanation:
An alkane that is pentane which is substituted by a methyl group at position 3. It is used as a solvent in organic synthesis, as a lubricant and as a raw material for producing carbon black.
