Answer from: jeremytheprimerapper

Concentration of hydroxide-ion at equivalence point = $8.3\times 10^{-6}M$

Explanation:

$HC_{3}H_{5}O_{2}+KOH\rightarrow C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}K^{+}+H_{2}O$

1 mol of $HC_{3}H_{5}O_{2}$ reacts with 1 mol of KOH to produce 1 mol of $C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}$

At equivalence point, all $HC_{3}H_{5}O_{2}$ gets converted to $C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}$ .

Moles of $C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}$ produced at equivalence point is equal to moles of KOH added to reach equivalence point.

So, moles of $C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}$ produced = $\frac{43.76\times 0.141}{1000}moles=0.00617moles$

Total volume of solution at equivalence point = (25.00+43.76) mL = 68.76 mL

Concentration of $C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}$ at equivalence point = $\frac{0.00617\times 1000}{68.76}M=0.0897M$

$OH^{-}$ produced at equivalence point is due to hydrolysis of $C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}$ . We have to construct an ICE table to calculate concentration of $OH^{-}$ at equivalence point.

$C_{3}H_{5}O_{}^{-}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons HC_{3}H_{5}O_{2}+OH^{-}$

I:0.0897 0 0

C: -x +x +x

E: 0.0897-x x x

$\frac{[HC_{3}H_{5}O_{2}][OH^{-}]}{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}]}=K_{b}(C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-})=\frac{10^{-14}}{K_{a}(HC_{3}H_{5}O_{2})}$

species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, $\frac{x^{2}}{0.0897-x}=7.69\times 10^{-10}$

or, $x^{2}+(7.69\times 10^{-10}\times x)-(6.90\times 10^{-11})=0$

So, $x=\frac{-(7.69\times 10^{-10})+\sqrt{(7.69\times 10^{-10})^{2}+(4\times 6.90\times 10^{-11})}}{2}$ M = $8.3\times 10^{-6}M$

So, concentration of hydroxide-ion at equivalence point = x M = $8.3\times 10^{-6}M$

Answer from: Quest

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms

Answer from: Quest

Most likely a is the answer - because you generate 38 atp's but also consume an atp. each atp gives approx. less than 4 kcal so probably a is the closest answer.
