Answer: 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+

   cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Given:  c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

K_a = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also pH=-log[H^+]

1.86=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.01

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

0.01=0.15\times \alpha

\alpha=0.06

As [H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01

K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}

K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]

Thus the vale of K_a for the acid is 1.67\times 10^{-3}

A carbon atom and a hydrogen atom form what type of bond in a molecule? see concept 2.3 (page 36)
svetoff [14.1K]
A bond is a force of attraction between atoms. They are mainly fthree types of bonds namely; ionic bond, which involves transfer of electrons between a metal and a non metal, covalent bond which occurs between non metal atoms by sharing of electrons, metallic bond which is a bond in the metal structure between metal atoms and the sea of electrons. in this case carbon and hydrogen are non metals hence they will have a covalent bond between their atoms.
