- When the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forwardThe action of heating one mole of water (containing a trace of acid catalyst) on one mole of compound Y produces one mole of CH,COOH and one mole of CH, CH,NH, The structure of Y is: Select one: O CHCNCCH, CH,CH,NHCH,CH, OH CH CHNHCH,CH, O CHCH,CNHCH; O CH;CH NHÖCH;arrow_forwardConsider the molecules R-CH2OH and R-CH2CO2H where R is rest of the hydrocarbon molecule. a) Which has the stronger conjugate base? b) Explain why it is the stronger base. What about the structure helps us to understand why one is stronger than the other? You may use drawings to help explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Briefly, but clearly, explain why the –OH hydrogen in acetic acid (CH3CO2H) is more acidic than in ethanol (C2H5OH).arrow_forwardDoes alcohol, ketones, and aldehydes considered acidic or a basic?arrow_forward75. Salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838. (a) Both functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka = 1.0 x 10-3 for the-CO2H group and 4.2 x 10-13 for the -OH group. What is the pH of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility = 1.8 g/L). (b) Aspirin was discovered as a result of efforts to produce a derivative of salicylic acid that would not be irritating to the stomach lining. Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, CH3CO2C6H4CO2H. The -CO2H functional group is still present, but its acidity is reduced, Ka = 3.0 × 10-4. What is the pH of a solution of aspirin with the same concentration as a saturated solution of salicylic acid (See Part a).arrow_forward
- Explain why the pH of a 0.25 M solution of formic acid (HCO2H) has a lower pH than a solution that is 0.25 M in both formic acid and sodium formate (NaCO2H). Please include chemical reactions.arrow_forwardThe presence of a pi bond also makes a compound a base. With this in mind, draw the conjugate acid of ethylene, CH2=CH2.arrow_forwarda) If the pH value of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine [(CH3)3N] is 10.75, what should be the molarity of this solution?
