Draw the isomers of a compound with the molecule formula C4H4O4. Also state the isomerism exhibited by them.
1 answer:
cis-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid and trans-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid are the 2 isomers with the molecular formula C₄H₄O₄.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Isomers are the structures having the same molecular formula but their is a difference in their structural formula and this concept is known as isomerism.
Here we have the molecular formula C₄H₄O₄ and it may be dicarboxylic acid and it may be exist as geometrical isomers as cis-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid and trans-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid.
The isomers are given.

Answer:
pH = 5.54
Explanation:
The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:
- pH = pKa + log
For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.
We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:
- CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
- CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH
The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.
Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:
- pH = 4.75 + log
= 5.54
