Concept introduction:
For one mole of a compound, the mass is found to be equivalent to its molar mass (g) or relative
Molarity, the concentration of a solution is obtained when the solute moles are divided by the solution’s volume in L. Its unit is mol/L, which is expressed by M.
(b)
Interpretation:
The volume of aqueous sodium hydroxide which is required for the formation of disodium salt is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Molarity, the concentration of a solution is obtained when the solute moles are divided by the solution’s volume in L. Its unit is mol/L, which is expressed by M. The molarity of the solution is expressed by the formula shown below.

- Write an equation for the reaction of chloroacetic acid (Ka=1.5103) with trimethylamine (Kb=5.9105) . Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction. If 0.10 M solutions of these two species are mixed, what will be their concentrations at equilibrium?arrow_forwardSalicylic acid is added into a test tube, followed by methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It is heated for 10-15 minutes and poured into a beaker with crushed ice. This is the esterification of Oil of wintergreen. Write the complete reaction equation and describe the odor of the reactants (salicylic acid and methanol) and the products (oil of wintergreen).arrow_forwardDetermine whether the following sentences are correct and explain (iii) Addition of water is required in making of toast from bread. (iv) Linolenic acid has higher iodine number and saponification number than oleic acid. (v) Compared with dehydration, canning is a better processing method for long-term preserving the nutritive value and color of carrot slices.arrow_forward
- Alkaloids are basic nitrogen-containing compounds of plant origin, many of which are physiologically active when administered to humans. Ingestion of coniine, isolated from water hemlock, can cause weakness, labored respiration, paralysis, and eventually death. Coniine is the toxic substance in the “poison hemlock” used in the death of Socrates. In small doses, nicotine is an addictive stimulant. In larger doses, it causes depression, nausea, and vomiting. In still larger doses, it is a deadly poison. Solutions of nicotine in water are used as insecticides. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant obtained from the leaves of the coca plant.Classify each amino group in these alkaloids according to type (primary, secondary, tertiary, aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic).arrow_forwardWhat is the molarity of an ethylacetate solution that contains 2.54 moles C4H8O2 dissolved in 600.0 mL of solution?arrow_forwardDescribe the trends in the physical properties of carboxylic acids, and contrast theirphysical properties with those of their salts.arrow_forward

For this acid, pKa1 is 4.10 and pKa2 is 11.79. When 125 mL of a solution of ascorbic acid was evaporated to dryness, the residue of pure ascorbic acid had a mass of 4.14 g. Calculate the molar concentration of ascorbic acid in the solution before it was evaporated. i I M What was the pH of the ascorbic acid solution before it was evaporated? pH = i What was the concentration of the ascorbate ion, C6H6062, before the solution was evaporated? i Marrow_forward
