Answer:

5.5

Explanation:

Phenol is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following reaction.

C₆H₅OH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅O⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa is 9.90. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

Ka = antilog -pKa = antilog -9.90

Ka = 1.26 × 10⁻¹⁰

Given the concentration of the acid, Ca = 0.10 M, and the Ka, We can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ka × Ca)

[H⁺] = √(1.26 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 0.10)

[H⁺] =3.5 × 10⁻⁶ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 3.5 × 10⁻⁶

pH = 5.5

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

C6H12O6 —> C2H5OH + CO2

We can balance the equation above as follow:

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 6 atoms of the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of C2H5OH as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + CO2

There are 6 atoms of C on the left side and 5 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Now the equation is balanced.
