Answer:

Option D) Compound B may have a lower molecular weight.

Explanation:

Compound A and B are standing at the same temperature yet compound A is evaporating more slowly than compound B.

This simply indicates that compound B have a lower molecular weight than compound A.

This can further be seen when gasoline and kerosene are placed under same temperature. The gasoline will evaporate faster than kerosene because the molecular weight of the gasoline is low when compared to that of the kerosene.

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)$

Calculate the amount of $CO_{2}$ dissolved as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

It is given that $K_{CO_{2}}$ = 0.032 M/atm and $P_{CO_{2}}$ = $1.9 \times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Hence, $[CO_{2}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$[CO_{2}]$ = $K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

= $0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm$

= $0.0608 \times 10^{-4}$

or, = $0.608 \times 10^{-5}$

It is given that $K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}$

As, $K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}$

$4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}$

$[H^{+}]^{2}$ = $2.71 \times 10^{-12}$

$[H^{+}]$ = $1.64 \times 10^{-6}$

Since, we know that pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

So, pH = $-log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})$

= 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

Explanation:

a chemical reaction that absorbs energy is known to be endothermic since heat is being taken in by the reaction. The value of the transition state would be 150 because you have to subtract the product's enthalpy and the reactant's enthalpy to obtain it. A positive value for the transition state also corroborates that the reaction is endothermic.
