How much energy must be added to a bowl of 125popcorn kernels in order for them to reach a popping temperature of 175°C? Assume

The visual representation is displayed in the following image.

For calculations, consider 100 grams of the compound:

ω(Cl) = 85.5% ÷ 100%.

ω(Cl) = 0.855; signifying the mass percentage of chlorine in the compound.

m(Cl) = 0.855 · 100 g.

m(Cl) = 85.5 g; this represents the mass of chlorine.

m(C) = 100 g - 85.5 g.

m(C) = 14.5 g; indicating the mass of carbon.

n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).

n(Cl) = 85.5 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.

n(Cl) = 2.41 mol; this is the quantity of chlorine.

n(C) = 14.5 g ÷ 12 g/mol.

n(C) = 1.21 mol; this is the quantity of carbon.

n(Cl): n(C) = 2.41 mol: 1.21 mol = 2: 1.

The compound in question is identified as dichlorocarbene CCl₂.

Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

Using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation, one can determine the pH or pOH of a solution via its pKa. Remember, , and pKa = -logKa, where Ka denotes the acid's equilibrium constant.

The Henderson Hasselbalch formula:

In this context, acid X possesses two ionic forms: the carboxyl group and an alternative form. Initially, we have 0.1 mol/L of acid in 100 mL, which gives:

n1 = (0.1 mol/L)×(0.1 L) = 0.01 mol

Upon dissociation, it yields 0.005 mol of the carboxyl form and 0.005 mol of the other form with stoichiometry assumed constant.

Introducing NaOH at a concentration of 0.1 mol/L and 75 mL, the moles of become:

n2 = (0.1 mol/L)×(0.075 L) = 0.0075 mol

Thus, 0.0075 mol of reacts with 0.005 mol of the carboxyl form, leading to 0.0025 mol of , which in turn reacts with 0.005 mol of the alternating group, leaving 0.0025 mol of the latter.

The new solution’s volume is 175 mL, but the concentrations of both forms remain unchanged in volume, so we can utilize the moles in the equation.

Thus, we arrive at:

6.72 = pKa - log 4

pKa - log 4 = 6.72

pKa = 6.72 + log 4

pKa = 6.72 + 0.6

pKa = 7.3
