Answer:p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is stronger acid to phenol

para-cyanophenol is stronger acid to meta-cyanophenol

o-fluorophenol is stronger acid to p-fluorophenol.

Explanation:

The PKa tool relative to Ph are used to contrast the pairs.

The pKa of phenol is 10. The pKa of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is 9.24

The pKa for meta-cyanophenol is 8.61 and the pKa for para-cyanophenol is 7.95. 

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature

The pKa is the pH value at which a chemical species will accept or donate a proton. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater the ability to donate a proton in aqueous solution.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

A.

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

B.

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M

Consider the reaction below for which K = 78.2 atm-1. A(g) + B(g) ↔ C(g) Assume that 0.386 mol C(g) is placed in the cylinder re
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.65 L

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given as:

                        A            +            B           ⇄        C

where;

numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C  (g)

Volume =  7.29 L

Molar concentration of C = \frac{0.386}{7.29}

= 0.053 M

                        A            +            B           ⇄        C

Initial               0                           0                      0.530    

Change          +x                          +x                       - x

Equilibrium      x                           x                      (0.0530 - x)

K = \frac{[C]}{[A][B]}

where

K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.

So, we have:

78.2=\frac{[0.0530-x]}{[x][x]}

78.2= \frac{(0.0530-x)}{(x^2)}

78.2x^2= 0.0530-x

78.2x^2+x-0.0530=0  

Using quadratic formula;

\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530

= \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}   or \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

= \frac{-(1)+\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}  or \frac{-(1)-\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}

= 0.0204  or -0.0332

Going by the positive value; we have:

x = 0.0204

[A] = 0.0204

[B] = 0.0204

[C] = 0.0530 - x

     = 0.0530 - 0.0204

     = 0.0326

Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 +  0.0204 + 0.0326

= 0.0734

Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT

if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:

V = \frac{nRT}{P}

where;

P (pressure) = 1 atm

n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole

R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

T = 273.15 K  (fixed constant temperature )

V (volume) = ???

V=\frac{(0.0734*0.0821*273.15)}{(1.00)}

V = 1.64604

V ≅ 1.65 L
