Covalent bonds hold hydrogen and oxygen together.
Hey dude. It's letter D. Compound. Compounds are composed of two or more separate elements.
The reaction is shown below, Acid protonates the carbonyl oxygen and makes the carbonyl carbon more electrophilic. Water attacks on activated carbonyl group and forms a tetrahedral intermediate.
Intermediate: Structure of Intermediate is shown both in 2-D and 3-D (below attached).
Carbonyl group is regenerated with the elimination of ethanol.
Reaction is as below, The final product is carboxylic acid.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>A. 10.25</em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Pkb =4.77
So pka = 14 - pka = 9.23


Initial 0.50M 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium 0.50M-x +x +x


(-x is neglected) so we get

![pH=-log[H^3 O^+]\\\\pH=-log[1.72\times10^{-5}]\\\\pH=4.76](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E3%20O%5E%2B%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D-log%5B1.72%5Ctimes10%5E%7B-5%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D4.76)
pOH = 14 - pH
= 14 - 4.76
pOH = 9.24 is the answer
Option A - 10.25 is the answer which is close to 9.24
