Answer: It is a Lewis acid/base reaction, and Fe^{3+} is the Lewis acid.

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Fe^{3+} can readily accept electrons and thus act as a lewis acid which is short of electrons.

CN^- can readily lose electrons and thus act as a lewis base which has excess of electrons.

It is a Lewis acid/base reaction, and Fe^{3+} is the Lewis acid.

The two liquids made a new substance.

<h3>What is a physical and chemical change?</h3>

A chemical change results from a chemical reaction, while a physical change is when matter changes forms but not chemical identity.

A chemical change occurs when some substances are transformed into different substances, with different nature and properties. In this case when both liquids are mixed a solid is formed.  This is an example of a change of state of the liquids reactants to the solid product, which has properties and characteristics different from that of the initial liquids of the mixture which is called a chemical change.

Hence, option D is correct.

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:


\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right]  & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.

Whether an ionic bond or a covalent bond forms, bonds form in order to make newly created substances ________ than the substance
Artemon [7]
I am sure the correct answer is B. Bonds are formed in order to make substances more stable than their former. Every process in this world works in order to achieve equilibrium or to be in a stable state this includes chemical reactions. Unstable substances will always find a way to become stable because it is the state with minimum energy.
