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.

Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of

podryga [215]

The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

$\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu$

Answer:A

Explanation:For a given amount of solute, smaller particles have greater surface area. With greater surface area, there can be more contact between particles of solute and solvent.
