- Will acetylene react with sodium hydride according to the following equation to form a salt and hydrogen, H2? Using pKa values given in Table 4.1, calculate Keq for this equilibrium.arrow_forwardAcetic acid, CH3COOH, is a weak organic acid, pKa 4.76. Write an equation for the equilibrium reaction of acetic acid with each base. Which equilibria lie considerably toward the left? Which lie considerably toward the right? Q.) NaOHarrow_forward(a) Given that Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5 and that forhypochlorous acid is 3.0 x 10-8, which is the stronger acid?(b) Which is the stronger base, the acetate ion or the hypochloriteion? (c) Calculate Kb values for CH3COO- and ClO-.arrow_forward
- но HO но он The pK, of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is 4.17, showing that it is slightly more acidic than acetic acid (CH3CO0H, pKa 4.74). (a) Show the fou r different conjugate bases that would be formed by deprotonation of the four different OH groups in ascorbic acid. (b) Compare the stabilities of these four conjugate bases, and predict which OH group of ascorbic acid is the most acidic. (c) Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.arrow_forward5. (a) HF is an acid. What is it's conjugate base ? (b) CIO₂ is a base. What is it's conjugate acid ? (c) What is the conjugate base of H₂PO4¹ ? (d) What is the conjugate acid of H₂PO4-¹ ?arrow_forwardThe base-dissociation constant, Kb, for pyridine, C5H5N is 1.4x10-9. The acid- dissociation constant, Ka for the pyridinium ion, C5H5NH+ is?arrow_forward
- (a) Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity. (b) Which compound forms the strongest conjugate base?arrow_forward3. What is observed when the H2O concentration in the acetic acid equilibrium becomes relatively low? Relatively high? 4. Humidity indicator cards (HIC) are commonly added to semiconductor shipments to document that the parts were not exposed to humidity. These cards are impregnated with cobalt(II) chloride, or an alternative, and change color to indicate the presence of water. Predict the color you would see if a cobalt(II) chloride HIC were exposed to moist, humid air?arrow_forwardlodoform (HCl3, carbon with one hydrogen and three iodines) is a bright yellow solid. Which of the reactions below will produce iodoform as a byproduct? (A) (B) (C) (D) 12 NaOH 12 H3O+ 12 NaOH 12 H3O+arrow_forward
- what is the solubility class and degree of unsaturation of myristic acid?arrow_forwardAmmonia (NH3) is a weak base that under acidic conditions becomes protonated to the ammonium ion in thefollowing reaction:NH3 + H+ → NH4 +NH3 freely permeates biological membranes, including thoseof lysosomes. The lysosome is a subcellular organelle witha pH of about 4.5–5.0; the pH of cytoplasm is about 7.0.What is the effect on the pH of the fluid content of lysosomes when cells are exposed to ammonia? Note: Ammonium (NH4 +) does not diffuse freely across membranes.arrow_forward(a) Given that Kb for ammonia is 1.8 x10-5 and that forhydroxylamine is 1.1 x 10-8, which is the stronger base?(b) Which is the stronger acid, the ammonium ion or thehydroxylammonium ion? (c) Calculate Ka values for NH4+and H3NOH+.arrow_forward
