It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.
The pressure of the oxygen gas collected : 718 mmHg
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
P tot = 748 mmHg
P water vapour = 30 mmHg
Required
P Oxygen
Solution
Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases
Can be formulated:
P tot = P1 + P2 + P3 ....
The partial pressure is the pressure of each gas in a mixture
P tot = P H₂O + P Oxygen
P Oxygen = 748 mmHg - 30 mmHg
P Oxygen = 718 mmHg
Answer:
Argon gas
Explanation:
Between the options given, argon gas is the least reactive. Argon is known as a <em>noble gas</em>, this means that it is located in the group 18 in the periodic table. These gases are known for their low reactivity, under most circumstances.
The <u>electronic configuration</u> of argon helps us see why that is the case: With an atomic number of 18, it has an electronic configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶. This means the most external orbital is filled with electrons, meaning that there are not unpaired electrons able to react with other substances.
The CPC equipment ensures the safety and health of workers. Management and employees must be aware of the hazards: the type of chemical, the physical state (liquid, solid
or gas), and the physiological effect (toxic, carcinogen, asphyxiant,
corrosive, etc.).
Vapor-protective clothing is type of chemical protective clothing (CPC) that protects the wearer against chemical vapors or gases.
