Answer:p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is stronger acid to phenol

para-cyanophenol is stronger acid to meta-cyanophenol

o-fluorophenol is stronger acid to p-fluorophenol.

Explanation:

The PKa tool relative to Ph are used to contrast the pairs.

The pKa of phenol is 10. The pKa of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is 9.24

The pKa for meta-cyanophenol is 8.61 and the pKa for para-cyanophenol is 7.95.

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature

The pKa is the pH value at which a chemical species will accept or donate a proton. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater the ability to donate a proton in aqueous solution.

The temperature on a distant, undiscovered planet is expressed in degrees B. For example, water boils at 180 ∘ B and freezes at

marin [14]

Answer:

40.3∘C

Explanation:

At planet B;

Water boils = 180∘C

Water freezes = 50∘C

In this planet the temperature difference = 180 - 50 = 130 compared to earth where the temperature difference is; 100 - 0 = 100

This means;

130 ∘C = 100 ∘C

x ∘C = 31 ∘C

x = 31 * 130 / 100

x = 40.3∘C

How many grams of N2 gas are present in 1.13 L of gas at 2.09 atm and 291 K?

solong [7]

Answer:

Mass= 2.77g

Explanation:

Applying

P=2.09atm, V= 1.13L, R= 0.082, T= 291K, Mm of N2= 28

PV=nRT

Moles(n) = m/M

PV=m/M×RT

m= PVM/RT

Substitute and Simplify

m= (2.09×1.13×28)/(0.082×291)

m= 2.77g

A cylinder container can hold 2.45 L of water. It’s radius is 4.00 cm. What is the volume of it in cubic centimeters?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

2450 cm3

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder = V=πr2h

2.45L = 2450mL

1mL = 1 cm cubed

2450mL = 2450 cm cubed

A 23.74-mL volume of 0.0981 M NaOH was used to titrate 25.0 mL of a weak monoprotic acid solution to the stoi- chiometric point.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Molar concentration of the weak acid solution is 0.0932

Explanation:

Using the formula: $\frac{C_aV_a}{C_bV+b} = \frac{n_a}{n_b}$

Where Ca = molarity of acid

Cb = molarity of base = 0.0981 M

Va = volume of acid = 25.0 mL

Vb = volume of base = 23.74 mL

na = mole of acid

nb = mole of base

Since the acid is monopromatic, 1 mole of the acid will require 1 mole of NaOH. Hence, na = nb = 1

Therefore, $C_a = \frac{C_bV_b}{V_a}$

Ca = 0.0981 x 23.74/25.0

= 0.093155 M

To 4 significant figure = 0.0932 M
