Chapter 3.3, Problem 9ATS

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The nature of lone pair present on Nitrogen and Oxygen atom has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

There are two ways to identify the acidity of the compounds,

  1. 1) Via comparing pKa values of the given compounds (quantitative approach)
  2. 2) Via study the structures of the acid (qualitative approach)

However, herein we consider only comparing pKa values.

PKa Value: The pKa value computes the acidity of an acid. This value depends upon the chemical property and identity of the compound.

            pKa = - log Ka

Where,

Ka is the measure of strength of an acid. If the acid is strong means Ka on the order of 1010 and weak means Ka on the order of 1050. Strong acid means pKa value is low value and Weak acid means pKa value is high.

To identify: which of the two lone pair are more basic

Using the general properties of equilibrium constants At a certain temperature, the equilibrium constant K for the following reaction is 1.3 × 10 4: Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g) HCl(g) + CC₁(g) Use this information to complete the following table. Suppose a 16. L reaction vessel is filled with 1.6 mol of HCI and 1.6 mol of CCl4. What can you say about the composition of the mixture in the vessel at equilibrium? There will be very little Cl2 and CHCl3. ☐ x10 There will be very little HCI and CCl4. Neither of the above is true. What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. HCl(g)+CC14(g) 12 Cl2(9)+CHCl3(9) K = 0 ☐ What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 2 Cl₂(9)+2CHCl3(9) 2 HCl(9)+2CC₁₁(9) K = ✓ 00. 18 Ar
