Many hydrocarbons exist as structural isomers, which are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures

. For example, both butane and isobutane have the same molecular formula: C4H10- Calculate the mole percent of isobutane in an equilibrium mixture at 25° C, given that the standard Gibbs energy of formation of butane is -15.9 kJ/mol and that of isobutane is -18.0 kJ/mol. Does your result support the notion that straight-chain hydrocarbons (that is, hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined in a line) are less stable than branched-chain hydrocarbons?

Answer:

Explanation:

Butane ⇒ Isobutane

ΔG = RT ln K

ΔG = - 18 + 15.9 = - 2.1 kJ / mol

- 2.1 x 10³ = 8.3 x 298 x lnK

lnK = .85

K = 2.33

[ isobutane ] / [ butane ]  = 2.33

isobutane / total mixture = 2.33 / 3.33 = .7

% of isobutane = 70 % .

70% is isobutane and 30 %  butane . Since equilibrium is tilted towards isobutane , it is more stable . Butane is straight chain and isobutane is branched chain compound .

When an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

K^{+} and NO_{3}^{-}

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) ==> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

With all the ions, it is

Ag^{+}(aq) + NO_{3} ^{-}(aq) + K^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)  ==> AgCl(s) +

K^{+} and NO_{3} ^{-} do not change, so they are the spectator ions and are removed

The ionic equation is:

Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) ==> AgCl(s)

The acid-dissociation constant of hydrocyanic acid (hcn) at 25.0 °c is 4.9 ⋅ 10−10. what is the ph of an aqueous solution of 0.0
vodomira [7]
According to the reaction equation:

and by using ICE table:

              CN-  + H2O ↔ HCN  + OH- 

initial  0.08                        0          0

change -X                        +X          +X

Equ    (0.08-X)                    X            X

so from the equilibrium equation, we can get Ka expression

when Ka = [HCN] [OH-]/[CN-]

when Ka = Kw/Kb

               = (1 x 10^-14) / (4.9 x 10^-10)

               = 2 x 10^-5

So, by substitution:

2 x 10^-5 = X^2 / (0.08 - X)

X= 0.0013

∴ [OH] = X = 0.0013 

∴ POH = -㏒[OH]

            = -㏒0.0013

            = 2.886 

∴ PH = 14 - POH

         = 14 - 2.886 = 11.11

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

pH = 8.0

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

35.8 \times 10^{-3}L.\frac{0.020mol}{L} =7.2\times 10^{-4}mol

Let's consider the balanced equation.

C₂H₄O₃ + NaOH ⇒ C₂H₃O₃Na + H₂O

The molar ratio C₂H₄O₃: NaOH: C₂H₃O₃Na is 1: 1: 1. So, when 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of NaOH react completely with 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₄O₃ they form 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₃O₃Na.

The concentration of C₂H₃O₃Na is:

\frac{7.2\times 10^{-4}mol}{60.8 \times 10^{-3}L} =0.012M

C₂H₃O₃Na dissociates according to the following equation:

C₂H₃O₃Na(aq) ⇒ C₂H₃O₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

C₂H₃O₃⁻ comes from a weak acid so it undergoes basic hydrolisis.

C₂H₃O₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₄O₃ + OH⁻

If we know that pKa for C₂H₄O₃ is 3.9, we can calculate pKb for C₂H₃O₃⁻ using the following expression:

pKa + pKb = 14

pKb = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

10.1 = -log Kb

Kb = 7.9 × 10⁻¹¹

We can calculate [OH⁻] using the following expression:

[OH⁻] = √(Kb.Cb)               <em>where Cb is the initial concentration of the base</em>

[OH⁻] = √(7.9 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.012M) = 9.7 × 10⁻⁷ M

Now, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (9.7 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.0

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6.0 = 8.0
