I think the answer is B. the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermidiate reactions
To solve this problem,
we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation which relates the pH to the measure
of acidity pKa. The equation is given as:<span>
<span>pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid]) ---> 1</span></span>
Where,
[base] = concentration
of C2H3O2
in molarity or moles
<span>[acid] = concentration of HC2H3O2 in molarity or moles</span>
For the sake of easy calculation, let us assume that:
[base] = 1
[acid] = x
<span>
Therefore using equation 1,
4.24 = 4.74 + log (1 / x)
<span>log (1 / x) = - 0.5
1 / x = 0.6065 </span></span>
x =
1.65<span>
The required ratio of C2H3O2 /HC2H3O2 <span>
is 1:1.65 or 3:5. </span></span>
I think it’s C but not certainly positive
Answer:
The entropy decreases.
Explanation:
The change in the standard entropy of a reaction (ΔS°rxn) is related to the change in the number of gaseous moles (Δngas), where
Δngas = n(gaseous products) - n(gaseous reactants)
- If Δngas > 0, the entropy increases
- If Δngas < 0, the entropy decreases.
- If Δngas = 0, there is little or no change in the entropy.
Let's consider the following reaction.
2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2 H₂O(l)
Δngas = 0 - 3 = -3, so the entropy decreases.
