For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A-
</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>
Explanation:
To find the amount of product that would be formed from two or more reactants, we need to follow the following steps;
- Find the number of moles of the given reactants.
- Then proceed to determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is the one in short supply which determines the extent of the reaction.
- Use the number of moles of the limiting reactant to find the number of moles of the product.
- Then use this number of moles to find the mass of the product
Useful expression:
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.
In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.
Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.
Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Germanium and Carbon are in the same 14th group.
Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.
