Which of the following compounds has the highest pKa value? A)CCl3CH2NH2

1 answer:

3 0

The lower the pKa of a Bronsted acid, the more easily it gives up its proton. The higher the pKa of a Bronsted acid, the more tightly the proton is held, and the less easily the proton is given up.

Here we need the highest pKa, so we need to see which compound will less likely to give proton or hydrogen ion.

Now, all Nitrogen contains a lone pair. But HALOGEN groups( F, Cl, only) being electronegative than NITROGEN [electronegativity of N=3, F=4 and Cl=3], pulls electron pair towards itself.

The more the lone pair of nitrogen is pulled, the more strong bond between N and H will become, which means less likely to give hydrogen ion.
means high Pka

C) option is the answer because it has 3 F very close to N.

The researcher performed a follow-up experiment to measure the rate of oxygen consumption by muscle and brain cells. Predict the

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).

A student obtained a clean flask. She weighed the flask and stopper on an analytical balance and found the total mass to be 34.2

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

25.99mL is the volume internal volume of the flask

Explanation:

To complete the question:

The temperature of the water was measured to be 21ºC. Use this data to find the internal volume of the stoppered flask

The flask was filled with water, that means the internal volume of the flask is equal to the volume that the water occupies.

To find the volume of the water you need to find the mass and by the use of density of water at 21ºC (0.997992g/mL), you can find the volume of the flask, thus:

Mass water = Mass filled flask - Mass of clean flask

Mass water = 60.167g - 34.232g

Mass water = 25.935g of water.

To convert this mass to volume:

25.935g × (1mL / 0.997992g) =

<h3>25.99mL is the volume internal volume of the flask</h3>

The decomposition of AB given here in this balanced equation 2AB (g)⟶ A2 (g) + B2 (g), has rate constants of 8.58 x 10-9 L/mol s

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

3.24 × 10^5 J/mol

Explanation:

The activation energy of this reaction can be calculated using the equation:

ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R x (1/T1 - 1/T2)

Where; Ea = the activation energy (J/mol)

R = the ideal gas constant = 8.3145 J/Kmol

T1 and T2 = absolute temperatures (K)

k1 and k2 = the reaction rate constants at respective temperature

First, we need to convert the temperatures in °C to K

T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15

T1 = 325°C + 273.15

T1 = 598.15K

T2 = 407°C + 273.15

T2 = 680.15K

Since, k1= 8.58 x 10-9 L/mol, k2= 2.16 x 10-5 L/mol, R= 8.3145 J/Kmol, we can now find Ea

ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R x (1/T1 - 1/T2)

ln(2.16 x 10-5/8.58 x 10-9) = Ea/8.3145 × (1/598.15 - 1/680.15)

ln(2517.4) = Ea/8.3145 × 2.01 × 10^-4

7.831 = Ea(2.417 × 10^-5)

Ea = 3.24 × 10^5 J/mol
