Explanation:

Dimethyl terephthalate is a compound whose formula is C6H4 (COOCH3) 2. It is a diester produced from terephthalic acid and methanol. It is characterized by being a white solid. Another method for the preparation is from p-xylene and methanol, which is characterized by having an oxidation and an esterification.

Answer:

The volume that this same amount of air will occupy in his lungs when he reaches a depth of 124 m is - 0.27 L.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law

${P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 3.6 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 1.0 atm

P₂ = 13.3 atm (From correct source)

Using above equation as:

${P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}$

${1.0\ atm}\times {3.6\ L}={13.3\ atm}\times {V_2}$

${V_2}=\frac{{1.0}\times {3.6}}{13.3}\ L$

${V_2}=0.27\ L$

The volume that this same amount of air will occupy in his lungs when he reaches a depth of 124 m is - 0.27 L.

Two weak acids, A and B, have pKa values of 4 and 6, respectively. Which statement is true?A) Acid A dissociates to a greater ex

zalisa [80]

Answer:

A) Acid A dissociates to a greater extent in water than acid B

Explanation:

A) Acid A dissociates to a greater extent in water than acid B

We are given the pKa for both acids, and we know

pKa = - log Ka

Taking antilog to both sides of the equation we can solve for Ka

⇒ -pKa = log Ka

-antilog pKa = Ka

10 ^-pka = Ka

So ka for acid A = 10⁻⁴

and

ka for acid B = 10⁻⁶

True the equilibrium constant for acid A is greater, so it dissociates more.

B) For solutions of equal concentration, acid B will have a lower pH.

We know the stronger acid is A, and it dissociates more. Since pH is the negative log of H₃O⁺ concentration, it follows that at equal concentrations the acid A will have at equilibrium a greater [H₃O⁺] and hence a lower pH

C) B is the conjugate base of A

False:

If B were the conjugate base of A, its Kb would have been given by:

Ka x Kb = Kw

Kb = 10⁻¹⁴/10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁸ for the conjugate base of acid B

Kb = 10⁻¹⁴/10⁻⁴ = 10⁻¹⁰ for the conjugate base of acid A

which are not equal.

D) Acid A is more likely to be a polyprotic acid than acid B.

False

Just having the pkas for both acids one cannot know if any of the acids is polyprotic. We will need the formula for the acids.

E) The equivalence point of acid A is higher than that of acid B

False

The equivalence point depends on the the concentration of the acids and their volumes.

The equivalence point is reached in the titration when the number of equivalents of base equals the number of equivalents of acid:

# equivalents acid = # equivalents of base @ end point

and

# equivalents acid = Molarity of acid x Volume of acid

Luden [163]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=9.06g$

Mass of $H_2O=5.58g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 9.06 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 9.06=2.47g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 5.58 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 5.58=0.62g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (6.38) - (2.47 + 0.62) = 3.29 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{2.47g}{12g/mole}=0.206moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.62g}{1g/mole}=0.62moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{3.29g}{16g/mole}=0.206moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.206 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.62}{0.206}=3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_{3}O_1=CH_3O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 124 amu = 124 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 31 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{124g/mol}{31g/mol}=4$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 4)}H_{(3\times 4)}O_{(1\times 4)}=C_4H_{12}O_4$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$
