Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The stability of the conjugate base of acetic acid, in the given solvent, is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A protic solvent can solvate both cation and anion, but an aprotic solvent can solvate only cation and not anions. The protic solvent is a compound containing at least one hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom of oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine and capable of forming a hydrogen bond. The aprotic solvent is a compound which cannot form a hydrogen bond due to the lack of an hydrogen atom bonded to the electronegative atom of oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. The polar solvent molecule has a partial positive and partial negative charge. The negative ends of the solvent’s dipole solvate the cation strongly, and the positive end of the solvent’s dipole solvate the anion strongly.

Use a graphical method to determine if there is a relationship between specific heat and the atomic mass. a. b. C. d. e. If your graphs revealed relationship between specific heat and atomic revealed a mathematical mass, write down an equation for the relationship. Comment on the usefulness of the determination of specific heat as a method for identifying an element. Would specific heat alone give you much confidence with regard to the identity of the element? If you think measurement of another property would be needed to support an identification, what property would you measure and why? The elements listed in the table are all selected metals. The values for nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon are 1.040, 0.918, 0.824 and 1.030 J/g K respectively.
