Consider two acids: cl2chco2h (dichloroacetic acid, pka = 1.3) and hco2h (formic acid, pka = 3.8). which acid has the larger ka? select the single best answer.

Explanation:

pKa is defined as the negative logarithm of Ka.

Thus,

pKa = -log Ka

Thus, larger the value of Ka, smaller is the value of pKa.

Given that:-

has a pKa = 1.3

has a pKa = 3.8

Thus, lower value of pKa has the larger Ka which is , dichloroacetic acid ( 1.3 < 3.8 ) .

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o

moles of hcl = 0.0250 l hcl ×

0.700

mol hcl

1 l hcl = 0.0175 mol hcl

volume of solution = (25.0 + 25.0) ml = 50.0 ml

mass of solution = 50.0 ml soln ×

= 50.0 g soln

δt=t2-t1

= (22.1 – 20.0) °c = 2.1 °c

the heats involved are

heat from neutralization + heat to warm solution + heat to warm calorimeter = 0

q1+q2+q3=0

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
