Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?

Chemistry

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.

Where is the fulcrum of this lever? circle and label its location on the diagram above
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) A fulcrum is a pivot point that plays a central role (not necessarily located at the center) in a lever. The fulcrum of the attached picture has been circled (in blue).

2) The object placed on this lever's measurement tray is balanced by placing it at the center of the tray. This is the standard way of placing objects on any balance.

If the actual yield of a reaction is 37.6 g while the theoretical yield is 112.8 g what is the percent yield
Zigmanuir [339]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the percent yield, we have to consider the theoretical yield and the actual yield. The theoretical yield as its name says is the yield expected, however, many times the difference between the theoretical yield and the actual yield is notorious.

We are given that:

ActualYield=37.6g\\TheoreticalYield=112.8g

Now, to calculate the percent yield, we need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical and multiply it by 100.

So, calculating we have:

PercentYield=\frac{ActualYield}{TheoreticalYield}*100\\\\PercentYield=\frac{37.6g}{112.8g}*100=0.3245*100=32.45(percent)

Hence, we have that the percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%.

Have a nice day!
