But in the answer options: a) -27.4 kJ b) -72.8 kJ c) -78.4 kJ d) -84.6kJ I attempted this problem in the other way.When using the q =mcdT,I added the mass of both water and sulfuric acid. q = (300g +10.65g)(4.184J/g.K)(6.55C) = 8513.43 J Then, I calculat...

Given acidity constant,Ka of benzoic acid is 6.28 X 10^-5. pH of 0.15 molar solution of this acid is ? Here is my method: Benzoic acid is a weak acid,hence it dissociates very little. So: C6H5COOH---> C6H5COO- + H+ [H+] and [C6H5COO-] are yet to be calcul...

How many stereoisomers are there for 1,2-dichlorocyclopentane? The answer options are 1,2,3 & 4. I think it is 4 because there is one cis & one trans isomer,so when using the 2^n formula,the final answer is 2^2 =4.Is my approach correct? Need ur help Dr.B...

Arrange these acids in terms of increasing acidity: CH3COOH, NH3+CH2COOH, CH3CONHCH2COOH My answer is CH3COOH,CH3CONHCH2COOH,NH3+CH2COOH . Is this correct Dr.Bob?

Dr.Bob, Arrange these acids in terms of increasing acidity: CH3COOH, NH3+CH2COOH, CH3CONHCH2COOH According to my Chem textbook,NH3+CH2COOH has a low pKa value since both the COOH & NH3+ are protonated,so it is most acidic. CH3COOH is a weak acid, but I'm...

Arrange these acids in terms of increasing acidity: CH3COOH, NH3+CH2COOH, CH3CONHCH2COOH Dr.Bob asked me what NH3+CH2COOH is.NH3+CH2COOH is obtained when 1 mol of glycine is added with a very strong acid,which results in both the amino & carboxyl groups t...

A saline solution is 20% salt. How many gallons of water must be added to dilute the mixture to 8 gals of a 15% saline solution? here is my method: using c1V1 = c2V2, (0.2)(V1) = (0.15)(8) V1 = 6 gals So, since 8 gals are required to dilute the saline sol...

Ok,then how do I find the dH of NaOH? Do I need to use the total heat of the system and divide it by the mass of NaOH to get its dH ? I'm still confused Thank you

13 years ago

Sorry what I meant was dividing the total heat with mole of NaOH ,not mass.

Ok thank you Dr.Bob

But Dr.Bob,from what I refer,NH3+CH2COOH is the strongest acid since it has both acid and NH3 protonated.Acetic acid is a weak acid,I'm not sure about the CH3CONHCH2COOH. That's what confuses me

13 years ago

Ok,that NH3+CH2COOH is obtained when 1 mol of glycine is added with a strong acid,which results in both amino & carboxyl groups to be fully protonated.

Hi Christopher, Let me explain the method of solving this problem: Given the area of the ring = 2123 ft^2 The formula for area is pi*r^2, where r is the radius Therefore,we need to find the r based on the area given 2123 ft^2 = pi*r^2 (work this out using...

Hi Teresa, Always remember: ln x = loge(log base e)x log x = log10(log base 10)x Example : ln x = 2 loge x = 2 x = e^2 log x = 5 log10 x =5 x = 10^5 (Hope this two examples have given you a rough understanding) ln(x-4) = -3 ln(x-4) = loge(x-4),right? loge...
