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:
Metal
Element: Calcium
Valency: 2
Explanation:
To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)
We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.
Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right
We end up at Calcium.
Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.
Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
