Hey there!
For SN1 mechanism; the activation barrier is the C-I bond energy which is broken in the first step of the reaction.
The activation barrier is : 56 kcal/ mol = 5.6 kcal/ mole ( nearest 0.1)
Answer:
B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.
Explanation:
The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.
As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.
Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.
- A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Write the chemical equation
CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COOH + OH⁻; Kₐ = 2 × 10⁻⁵
Let's rewrite the equation as
A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻
2. Calculate Kb
3. Set up an ICE table
A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻
I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.35 0 0
C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x
E/mol·L⁻¹: 0.35-x x x
4. Solve for x
![\dfrac{\text{[HA ][OH$^{-}$]}}{\text{[A$^{-}$]}} = \dfrac{x^{2}}{0.35-x} = 5 \times 10^{-10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%20%5D%5BOH%24%5E%7B-%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BA%24%5E%7B-%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B0.35-x%7D%20%3D%205%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D)
Check for negligibility,
![\dfrac{\text{[HA]}}{K_{\text{b}}} = \dfrac{0.35}{5 \times 10^{-10}} = 7 \times 10^{8}> 400\\\\\therefore x \ll 0.35\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.35} = 5 \times 10^{-10}\\\\x^{2} = 0.35 \times 5 \times 10^{-10} = 1.8\times 10^{-10}\\\\x = \sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1 \times 10^{-5}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%7D%7BK_%7B%5Ctext%7Bb%7D%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B0.35%7D%7B5%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%7D%20%3D%207%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B8%7D%3E%20400%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctherefore%20x%20%5Cll%200.35%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B0.35%7D%20%3D%205%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%200.35%20%5Ctimes%205%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%20%3D%201.8%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B1.8%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cmathbf%7B1%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%7D)
5. Calculate the pOH
[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻⁵ mol·L⁻¹
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(1 × 10⁻⁵) = 4.88
6. Calculate the pH.
pH + pOH = 14.00
pH + 4.88 = 14.00
pH = 9.12
Note: The answer differs from that given by Silberberg because you used only one significant figure for the Kₐ of acetic acid.
Answer:
a. pH paper can tell you the pH. pH paper only can turn a variety of colors that represent different pH numbers.
B. Litmus paper only tells you acid or base in order to turns red or blue color.
Explanation:
pH paper is a type of paper which is used for the identification of pH of the substance. On pH paper, colors are present which shows pH numbers of a solution while litmus paper is a type of paper which is used for the identification of solution whether it is acidic or basic. There are two colors i. e. Red and Blue. If the litmus paper turns red, the solution is acidic or if the litmus paper turns blue, the solution is alkaline or basic.
