Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:


\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right]  & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.

Find the work done using data from the PV plot for an isothermal system.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

W = - 500 KJ

∴ the work is done on the system

Explanation:

isothermal system:

∴ ΔU = 0; ⇒ Q = W

∴ W = P1V1 -P2V2

⇒ W = ((100KPa)*(25m³)) - ((300KPa)*(10m³))

⇒ W = 2500KPa.m³ - 3000KPa,m³

⇒ W = - 500 KPa.m³ = - 500 KJ

∴ W (-) the work is done on the system
