Answer:

E) HBr

Explanation:

Because Bromine (Br) isn't part of the original formula for Apirin. (I answered this based on the assumption that the letter "A" in option C was a typo of sorts, since there is no element with a chemical symbol of just "A" that I am aware of. If this is incorrect, then I apologize.)

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.

givi [52]

Answer:

According to their expected pKa values, the order of those acids should be:

1- Cl2CHCOOH is the strongest acid and the lowest pKa.

2- ClCH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the first. Medium pKa value.

3- ClCH2CH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the two previous acids. High pKa value.

4- CH3CH2COOH is the weakest acid, so the highest pKa value.

Explanation:

The pKa values are the negative logarithm of dissociation constant. It represents the relative strengths of the acids. Stronger acids show smaller pKa values and weak acids present larger pKa value. The stronger the acid, the weaker it's the conjugate base. The larger the pKa of the conjugate base, the stronger the acid. The strength of an acid is inversely related to the strength of its conjugate.

Conjugate bases are the substance that has one less proton than the parent acid. The conjugate base of the acid presented in the problem are:

ClCH2COOH -> ClCH2COO- + H+

ClCH2CH2COOH -> ClCH2CH2COO- + H+

CH3CH2COOH -> CH3CH2COO- + H+

Cl2CHCOOH -> Cl2CHCOO - + H+

Cl2CHCOOH. The negative charge presented on its conjugate base is by resonance and inductive effect. This is the strongest acid.

ClCH2COOH. A negative charge is stabilized by resonance and electron-withdrawing but only one atom is present. So this acid is less strong than the first one.

ClCH2CH2COOH. The negative charge is stabilized by resonance and electron-withdrawing atom but the effect is less compared to the two acids showed previously.

CH3CH2COOH. The negative charge is stabilized by resonance and destabilized due to CH3 group. This is the weakest acid among the problem.

Stronger acids have smaller pKa values and weak acids have larger pKa values. Due to the information present in this problem, Cl2CHCOOH is the strongest acid and the lowest pKa. CH3CH2COOH is the weakest acid, so the highest pKa value.

Finally, we can conclude that according to their expected pKa values, the order of those acids should be:

1- Cl2CHCOOH is the strongest acid and the lowest pKa.

2- ClCH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the first. Medium pKa value.

3- ClCH2CH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the two previous acids. High pKa value.

4- CH3CH2COOH is the weakest acid, so the highest pKa value.

A substance has twice the number of particles as 12 grams of carbon-12. How many

klasskru [66]

Answer:

D)2.0

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by $N_0$ .

Also, it is the number of particles in exactly 12.000 g of isotope carbon 12.

Avogadro constant:-

$N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}$

Thus,

Number of particles as 12 grams of carbon-12 constitutes 1 mole

<u>Twice the number of particles as 12 grams of carbon-12 constitutes 1*2 mole</u>

Thus, moles in the substance = 2.0 moles

g Calculate the time (in min.) required to collect 0.0760 L of oxygen gas at 298 K and 1.00 atm if 2.60 A of current flows throu

lozanna [386]

Answer:

7.67 mins.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Volume (V) = 0.0760 L

Temperature (T) = 298 K

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Current (I) = 2.60 A

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole (n) of O2 contained in 0.0760 L.

This can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as follow:

Note:

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

PV = nRT

1 x 0.0760 = n x 0.0821 x 298

Divide both side by 0.0821 x 298

n = 0.0760 / (0.0821 x 298)

n = 0.0031 mole

Next, we shall determine the quantity of electricity needed to liberate 0.0031 mole of O2.

This is illustrated below:

2O²¯ + 4e —> O2

Recall:

1 faraday = 1e = 96500 C

4e = 4 x 96500 C

4e = 386000 C

From the balanced equation above,

386000 C of electricity liberated 1 mole of O2.

Therefore, X C of electricity will liberate 0.0031 mole of O2 i.e

X C = 386000 X 0.0031

X C = 1196.6 C

Therefore, 1196.6 C of electricity is needed to liberate 0.0031 mole of O2

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the process. This can be obtained as follow:

Current (I) = 2.60 A

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 1196.6 C

Time (t) =?

Q = It

1196.6 = 2.6 x t

Divide both side by 2.6

t = 1196.6/2.6

t = 460.23 secs.

Finally, we shall convert 460.23 secs to minute. This can be achieved by doing the following:

60 secs = 1 min

Therefore,

460.23 secs = 460.23/60 = 7.67 mins

Therefore, the process took 7.67 mins.
