A 0.15 m solution of chloroacetic acid has a ph of 1.86. What is the value of ka for this acid?

Chemistry

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}

Compare and contrast alpha beta and gamma radiation
Evgen [1.6K]
There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation: 

Ionising ability
Penetrative power 
Range in air

Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.

Penetrative power 
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.

Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter 
Gamma- infinite range in air.

Hope this helps:)

How many moles of O2 are needed to burn 2.56 moles of CH3OH?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

n_{O_2}=3.84molO_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the combustion reaction of methanol is:

CH_3OH+\frac{3}{2} O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In such a way, since there is 1:3/2 mole ratio between methanol and oxygen, we can compute the moles of oxygen that are needed to burn 2.56 moles of methanol as shown below:

n_{O_2}=2.56molCH_3OH*\frac{\frac{3}{2}molO_2}{1molCH_3OH} \\\\n_{O_2}=3.84molO_2

Best regards!

Why does argon exist in nature as individual argon atoms and chlorine exist in nature as 2 chlorine atoms covalently bonded toge
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Argon has 8 valence electrons and no extras, it does not require a bond in order to fill its shells, its satisfied by itself.

Chlorine is missing 1 Electron, if it connects with another Chlorine it will be satisfying both of their needs with a Covalent bond.
