Complete the acid-base reaction between butyric acid HC4H7O2 and potassium hydroxide KOH.

1 answer:

6 0

An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.

Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):

HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)

On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:

KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:

HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)

It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.

kicyunya [14]

Answer: 1) C; 2)D; 3)B; 4)B; 5) A

Explanation:Interpreting the following Arterial Blood gases, we have

1. pH 7.33 PaCO2 60 HCO3 34----Respiratory acidosis with partial compensation----C

2. pH 7.48 PaCO2 42 HCO3 30------. Metabolic alkalosis without compensation----D

3. pH 7.38 PaCO2 38 HCO3 24 ----- Normal---B

4. pH 7.21 PaCO2 60 HCO3 24------ Respiratory acidosis without compensation-----B

5. pH 7.48 PaCO2 28 HCO3 20 ----Respiratory alkalosis with partial compensation

The Arterial blood gas interpretation from analysis shows the pH and the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the arterial blood of an individual which can detect how well the lungs are functioning thereby making a physician make a diagnosis, estimate the severity of a condition and profer treatment.

Maru [420]

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.

Nickel can be plated from aqueous solution according to the following half reaction. How long would it take (in min) to plate 29

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

It take 3.5 *10² min

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the nickel = 29.6 grams

4.7A

Step 2: The balanced equation

Ni2+ (aq- +2e- → Ni(s)

Step 3: Calculate time

W = (ItA)/(n*F)

⇒ W = weight of plated metal in grams = 29.6

⇒ I = current in coulombs per second. = 4.7

⇒ t = time in seconds.

⇒ A = atomic weight of the metal in grams per mole. = 58.69

⇒ n = valence of dissolved metal in solution in equivalents per mole. = 2

⇒ F = Faraday's constant in coulombs per equivalent. F = 96,485.309 coulombs/equivalent.

29.6 = (4.7 * t * 58.69)/(2*96485309)

t = 20707 seconds

t =345 minutes = 3.5 * 10² min

It take 3.5 *10² min

A 1.00 g sample of a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution is placed in an Erlenmeyer flask and diluted with 20 mL of 1 M aqueous su

Minchanka [31]

Following reaction is involved in present system:

2KMnO4 + 5H2O2 + 3H2SO4 → 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 5O2 + 8H2O

From the above balance reaction, it can be seen that 2 moles of KMnO4 is consumed for every 5 moles of H2O2.

Now, percent by mass of hydrogen peroxide in the original solution can be estimated as follows:
percent by mass = $\frac{\text{mass of H2O2(g)}}{\text(volume of H2SO4(ml))}X 100$
∴percent by mass = $\frac{\text{1}}{\text(25)}X 100$
= 4 %
