Answer:

CH₃COOH; Ka = 1.8x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

When there are a conjugate acid-base pair, if the acid is weak, the base is strong and vice versa.

Now, the highest pKa, the strongest acid. If we want to find the strongest base we need to find the weak acid that is the acid with the lowest pKa.

In the options, the acid with the lowest pKa is:

What is the total number of calories of heat energy absorbed when 10 grams of water is vaporized at its normal boiling point

Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

$q=m\times L_{vap}$

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 10 grams

$L_{vap}$ = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=10g\times 539Cal/g=5390Cal$

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
