Answer:

6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction

HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

The pH of the solution is 2.78.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M

Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Varvara68 [4.7K]
Answer is: H₂PO₄⁻ (d<span>ihydrogen phosphate).
Chemical reaction: HPO</span>₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq).
According to  Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺). Hydrogen phosphate is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid.

Which human activity will most likely contribute to ozone layer destruction?
vagabundo [1.1K]
  • Answer: <em><u>The compounds containing CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are mainly responsible for ozone layer depletion as these compounds react with ozone in the presence of ultraviolet rays to form oxygen molecule and thus, destroying ozone.</u></em>

Explanation: <em><u>Human activities cause the emission of halogen source gases that contain chlorine and bromine atoms. These emissions into the atmosphere ultimately lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. The source gases that contain only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine are called chlo- rofluorocarbons usually abbreviated as CFCs.</u></em>
