Answer:
A hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or an answer to a scientific question. A hypothesis must be testable and measurable.
Explanation:
Answer:
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH > ClCH₂COOH
Explanation:
Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.
Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.
- The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
- The more substituents, the greater the effect.
- The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.
CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH — EDG — weakest — pKₐ = 4.82
CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference — pKₐ = 4.75
ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger — pKₐ = 4.00
ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest — pKₐ = 2.87
Hi :) If your answers choices are what I'm thinking, the answer is two :)
Answer to this question is C. Regarding the volume.
Answer:
The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.
Explanation:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.
Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i
Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.
It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.
