Required pH = 4.93
- OH⁻ from NaOH reacts with CH₃COOH giving CH₃COO⁻ and H₂O
- Let the volume of 3.5 M NaOH be x ml
Moles of NaOH = Moles of OH⁻ = Molarity * x ml = 3.5x mmol
- The reaction table for moles is as follows:
CH₃COOH + OH⁻ → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O
Initial 60 3.5x 40
Change -3.5x -3.5x +3.5x
Final (60-3.5x) 0 (40+3.5x)
- Substitute in Henderson equation and solve for x:
pH = pKa + log
4.93 = 4.76 + log
0.17 = log
x = 5.62 ml NaOH required
Answer:
Yes, acetic acid could be used, but it would not be as effective as acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. ... However, the acetic anhydride would still be reacting with an alcohol, so nothing changes in that respect. Also, the reaction would need to be done in basic solution.
Answer:
An increase in temperature indicates that the molecules of gas speed up.
Explanation:
The molecular kinetic theory states that the average kinetic energy of gas particles (molecules) is proportional to the absolute (Kelvin) temperature of the gas, and all gases at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy.
Therefore, as the temperature increases so the kinetic energy increases.
It is also known that the kinetic energy is proportional to the squared speed of the particles, therefore the higher the kinetic energy the average speed of the molecules:
- higher temperature → higher kinetic energy → higher average speed
Answer:
60.87 ft/s
Explanation:
Speed is defined as a ratio between the distance traveled and time. Given a total distance of:
Let's convert it into feet first of all using the conversion factor:
We obtain:
Now let's convert the given time into seconds knowing that:
Then:
Now let's find the speed:
thermal contact
When heat flows from one object or substance to another it is in contact with, the objects or substances are said to be in thermal contact. The state where objects in thermal contact with each other reach the same temperature, no heat flows between them.
