Answer:
It's cheap to make, and its recyclable
Answer:
C. CH3COOH, Ka = 1.8 E-5
Explanation:
analyzing the pKa of the given acids:
∴ pKa = - Log Ka
A. pKa = - Log (1.0 E-3 ) = 3
B. pKa = - Log (2.9 E-4) = 3.54
C. pKa = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745
D. pKa = - Log (4.0 E-6) = 5.397
E. pKa = - Log (2.3 E-9) = 8.638
We choose the (C) acid since its pKa close to the expected pH.
⇒ For a buffer solution formed from an acid and its respective salt, we have the equation Henderson-Hausselbach (H-H):
- pH = pKa + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])
∴ pH = 4.5
∴ pKa = 4.745
⇒ 4.5 = 4.745 + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])
⇒ - 0.245 = Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])
⇒ 0.5692 = [CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]
∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([H3O+].[CH3COO-])/[CH3COOH]
⇒ 1.8 E-5 = [H3O+](0.5692)
⇒ [H3O+] = 3.1623 E-5 M
⇒ pH = - Log ( 3.1623 E-5 ) = 4.5
Answer: Reactivity is not a physical property, it is a chemical property.
Explanation:
Physical property is a value of matter that can be observed and measured without any change in composition of the matter. Examples of physical properties are color, combustion,melting point,boiling point,solubility, texture, appearance, polarity, odor,viscosity, density and many more.
Chemical properties are characteristics that are obvious or seen when substances undergo chemical reaction. Examples are reactivity,toxicity, acidity, flammability, and heat combustion.
