Answer:
1.4 × 10^-4.
Explanation:
C3H6O3 + H2O <======> C3H5O3^- + H3O^+ ------------------------------------------(1).
So, from the question above we are given the following parameters or data which is going to help in solving this particular Question/problem;
=>concentration of the solution of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)C00H) = 0.1 M and pH = 2.44.
Therefore, the concentration of the hydrogen ion[H^+} can be determined from the pH formula given below;
pH = - log { H^+}.
2.44 = - log { H^+}.
Therefore, {H^+} = 0.0036 M.
From the equation (1) given above, we have that the ratio for the equilibrium reaction is 1 : 1 : 1 :1. Therefore, molarity of C3H5O3^- = 0.0036 M and the molarity of C3H6O3 =( 0.1 - 0.0036 M) = 0.0964 M at equilibrium.
Hence, ka = {C3H5O3^-} { H3O^+} /{C3H6O3} = ( 0.0036 M)^2 /(0.0964 M) = 1.4 × 10^-4.
Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.
Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.
The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.
Example are:
1.Stirring of sugar in water.
In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.
2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute
Answer:
Chemical reactions involve breaking chemical bonds between reactant molecules (particles) and forming new bonds between atoms in product particles (molecules). The number of atoms before and after the chemical change is the same but the number of molecules will change.
