Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.

We make a basic solution by mixing 50. mL of 0.10 M NaOH and 50. mL of 0.10 M Ca(OH)2. It requires 250 mL of an HCl solution to

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The correct answer is Option 5.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the NaOH.

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.10M\\V_1=50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.1\\V_2=50mL$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$M=\frac{(1\times 0.1\times 50)+(2\times 0.1\times 50)}{50+50}\\\\M=0.15M$

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15M\\V_2=100mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.15\times 100\\\\M_1=0.06M$

Hence, the correct answer is Option 5.

Read the following chemical equation: Ti + 2Cl2 → TiCl4 Which statement best identifies and describes the reducing agent in the

goldenfox [79]

Answer: Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to identify the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

The reducing agent: is the agent that has been oxidized via losing electrons.

The oxidizing agent: is the agent that has been reduced via gaining electrons.

Here, Ti losses 4 electrons and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to +4 and Cl₂ gains one electron and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to -1.

So, Ti is the reducing agent because its oxidation state changes from 0 to +4.

Cl₂ is the oxidizing agent because its oxidation state changes from 0 to -1.

Thus, The right answer is Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.
