What is Pka of an acid plz define briefly?

1 answer:

6 0

The term "pKa" is a measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is defined as the negative base 10 log of the acid dissociation constant. A lower pKa value indicates a stronger acid and A higher pKa value indicates a weaker acid

A student prepares a weak acid solution by dissolving 0.2000 g HZ to give 100. mL solution. The titration requires 33.5 mL of 0.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

a)M=0.20/(0.335*0.1025)= 0.20/ 0.034 = 5.88 g/mol

b) if 0.100g is used instead of 0.200g

M = 0.1 / 0.034 = 2.94 hence the molar mass will be too low

Explanation:

0.2000 gHZ gives 100ml acid solution

33.5 ml of 0.1025 M NaOH is required to prepare it

the moles = mass / molar mass

mass = 0.200 gHZ

moles = 0.0335*100 * 0.1025 = 0.034

therefore molar mass = mass / moles

M=0.20/(0.335*0.1025)= 0.20/ 0.034 = 5.88

if 0.100g is used instead of 0.200g

M = 0.1 / 0.034 = 2.94 hence the molar mass will be too low

Write the mechanism of the reaction of methyl benzoate to form methyl 2-nitrobenzoate.

Galina-37 [17]

The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of methyl benzoate results in generation of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate, and not methyl 2-benzoate.

This a because of the present of ester group, which deactivated benzene ring at ortho and para position. Due to this, the electrophile (NO2+) attackes on meta position.

The detailed mechanism is attached below.

Cell notation will list each half-reaction:

likoan [24]

Answer:

on each side of the salt bridge, which is represented by a double vertical line

Explanation:

While writing a cell notation, the general convention is; anode || cathode. The anode and the cathode are separated by a double line. The anode is written on the lefthand side while the cathode is written on the righthand side.

The cell notation is a shorthand representation of a cell, hence any electrochemical cell can easily be produced based on its cell diagram.
