11. The Ka for benzoic acid is 6.5 × 10–5. Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M benzoic acid solution.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lisa [10]4 years ago

Answer:

2.6

Explanation:

Benzoic acid is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following equation.

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

We can calculate the equilibrium concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ka × Ca)

where,

Ka is the acid dissociation constant

Ca is the initial concentration of the acid

[H⁺] = √(6.5 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.10) = 2.5 × 10⁻³

The pH is

pH = -log [H⁺] = - log 2.5 × 10⁻³ = 2.6

Mannoheptulose is a sugar found in avocados. If each C-C bond contains 76 kcal of energy and each C-H bond contains 91 kcal, how
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Total Kcal energy produced in the catabolism of mannoheptulose = 1184 Kcal

Explanation:

The molecular formula of mannoheptulose is C₇H₁₄O₇.

The structure is as shown in the attachment below.

Number of C-C bonds present in mannoheptulose = 6

Number of C-H bonds present in mannoheptulose = 8

Since the each C-C bond contains 76 Kcal of energy,

Amount of energy present in six C-C bonds = 6 * 76 = 456 Kcal

Also, since each C-H bond contains 91 Kcal of energy;

amount of energy present in eight C-H bonds = 8 * 91 = 728 Kcal

Total Kcal energy produced in the catabolism of mannoheptulose = 456 + 728 = 1184 Kcal

A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of _____ in the smallest representative unit of a substance.
Firdavs [7]

A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In chemistry, a  formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.

The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.

Pls help me will mark brainliest, chemistry equilibrium!!!
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

See attached => LeChatelier's Principle

Explanation:

LeChatelier's Principle => If a stress is applied to a chemical reaction, the reaction chemistry will shift away from the applied stress and establish a new equilibrium having new concentration values different from the original concentration values.

There are three (3) principle stress factors that will cause disturb a chemical reaction and cause it to shift to establish a new equilibrium. These are ...

=> concentration effects,

=> temperature effects, and

=> pressure-volume effects.

The attached notes explain in general terms how to evaluate a chemical reaction under an applied stress factor and determine direction of shift to establish a new equilibrium stability. Compare and apply to the worksheet problems.

_______

Answers to worksheet (compare to attached notes)

1a. => increasing wt to product side => tilts right => shifts left

1b. => removing wt from reactant side => tilts right => shifts left,

1c. => increasing wt to product side => tilts right => shifts left

2a. => tilts left (excess wt from Hg), shifts right,

2b. => Increase pressure shifts toward lower molar gas volume side (right) Note: apply only to gas phase substances, Hg is in liquid phase.

3a. exothermic rxn => cooling => tilts left, rxn shifts right

3b. endothermic rxn => cooling => tilts right, rxn shifts left

3c. exothermic rxn => cooling => tilts left, rxn shifts right

_____________

don't forget => brainliest :-)

Can someone help me with the questions in the images. if they are correct i will mark as brainliest

(1)

The health of coral colonies

The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

This is because corals are very sensitive to changes in the ocean's properties pH being included. Warmer oceans dissolves more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere hence making the waters slightly acidic. This will affect coral resulting in bleaching. This negatively affects the marine ecosystems since corals are usually at the bottom of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems.

(2)

Chlorofluorocarbons are very harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere. They damage the ozone layer and therefore allow more UV rays from sunlight to reach the earth’s surface. They also have a  greenhouse effect causing the earth’s atmosphere to warm up. This ultimately leads to global warming and climate change.

(3)

It would allow storm systems to stall in an area

Jets streams are very significant in that they influence weather patterns across the world. They are responsible for the movement of pressure systems and global air cells and their accompanying weather patterns. Because they generally sit in between cold and warm air systems they are significant in moving these air masses around. When they are weak they cause an air system to linger including storms causing excessive flooding in an area.

(4)

Absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.

Produced by human activity

Greenhouse gases do not allow infrared radiation from the earth's surface to escape back to space. Infrared is the electromagnetic wave spectrum responsible for transferring heat energy. Therefore, when left to linger in the atmosphere, they cause the greenhouse effect. This is the reason for global warming.

(5)

Air temperature –, ice

Ocean temperature – ice, a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Carbon dioxide levels – a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Kind of plants – fossilized pollen grains

Rainfall- the rings
