Ответ:
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
Ответ:
Inhalation of alcohol from the wipes has the ability to increase the electrical impulses of the heart leading to elevated heart rate.
Explanation:
When alcohol is inhaled, it bypasses the normal digestive route and enters directly to the lungs where it is absorbed. The alcohol is transported directly into the bloodstream and to the brain.
The immediate absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream increases the sympathetic tone of the nervous system which in turn leads to increase in electrical impulses of the heart.
This can be harmful to individuals that have underlying heart conditions, therefore it's not advisable to be inhaled for a prolonged time.
