Answer:
<em>C. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
<em>The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.</em>
<em>The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.</em>
<em>However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.</em>
<em>Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.</em>

Answer:
Hydrogen gas
Explanation:
During electrolysis of acidified water, H+ ions are reduced to H2 gas at the negative carbon electrode (cathode) and hence hydrogen gas is liberated at cathode.
Answer: The concentration of
is 0.234 M
Explanation:
According to the neutralization law,
where,
= basicity
= 2
= molarity of
solution = ?
= volume of
solution = 50.0 ml
= acidity of
= 1
= molarity of
solution = 0.375 M
= volume of
solution = 62.5 ml
Putting in the values we get:
Therefore concentration of
is 0.234 M
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Natural gas is colorless and odorless, and explosive, so a sulfur-smell (similar to rotten eggs) is usually added for early detection of leaks. ... Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.
Answer:
used=Evaporation and sublimation
released=condensation and freezing
