Calculate the percent dissociation of crotonic acid (C,H,CO,H) in a 0.63 mM aqueous solution of the stuff.
1 answer:
Answer:
16%
Explanation:
Crotonic acid : C₃H₅CO₂H
C₃H₅CO₂H ⇄ C₃H₅CO₂⁻ + H⁺
C O O
where : C = C ( 1 - ∝ ) , O = C∝
also: Ka = C∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) ---- ( 1 )
<em>From Alexa data resource : </em>
Pka = 4.69 , [ Ka = 2.04 * 10^-5 = C∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) ]
back to equation 1
2.04 * 10^-5 = [ ( 0.63 * 10^-3 ) * ∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) ] ----- ( 2 )
∴ ∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) = 3.24 * 10⁻²
Resolving equation above
∝ = 0.1645 = 16.45%

Answer:
c)Hypertonic solutions have a higher osmotic pressure than that within cells so crenation can occur.
Explanation:
When giving solutions to a patient, we must be careful about the situation because giving an isotonic or a hypertonic solution can be the difference between life or death.
If the person is dehydrated, and we administer an hypertonic solution, the result will be the death, because a hypertonic solution (high concentration of electrolytes) <u>can actually dehydrate the cells,</u> they will lose water by osmosis,<em> because the osmotic pressure is higher outside</em> and water will start to flow from a low concentration state to high concentration state, trying to equilibrate the medium, as we can see in the image below.
