You decide to measure the pH of pure water in contact with the atmosphere as an indirect way to determine whether you have adequate ventilation. You measure a pH value of 5.3. Assuming equilibrium, i. What is the concentration of CO2 in the classroom? ii. How does the value you calculated compare to the recommended safe level of 800-1000 ppm?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement best explain why the acidity of carboxylic acids is greater than those of the alcohols? a. Alcohols behave as neutral compounds in aqueous solution. b. Alcohol has the ability to donate proton to becomes a negative ion called an alkoxide ion, RO– c. When a carboxylic acid donates its proton, it becomes a negatively charged ion, RCOO−, called a carboxylate ion which is more stabilized by resonance. d. The OH group in alcohol is less charged and often more difficult to release electron for chemical reactions.arrow_forward
