(a) Ka = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵

(b) Kb = 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰

(d) The propanate ion is a stronger base.

Explanation:

(a) the Ka value for propanoic acid (HC₂H₅CO₂)

Let's consider the acid reaction of propanoic acid in water.

HC₂H₅CO₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₂H₅CO₂⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

HC₂H₅CO₂ is an acid and C₂H₅CO₂⁻ its conjugate base. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is Ka.

Now, let's consider the basic reaction of C₂H₅CO₂⁻.

C₂H₅CO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HC₂H₅CO₂(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kb, where Kb = 7.8 × 10⁻¹⁰.

The relation between Ka and Kb is:

Ka × Kb = Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Ka = Kw/Kb = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵

(b) the Kb value for the azide ion (N₃⁻)

Let's consider the basic reaction of the azide ion in water.

N₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HN₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

N₃⁻ is a base and HN₃ its conjugate acid. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kb.

Now, let's consider the acid reaction of HN₃.

HN₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ N₃⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is Ka, where Ka = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵.

The relation between Ka and Kb is:

Ka × Kb = Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Kb = Kw/Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰

The higher the value of the Ka, the stronger the acid. Ka for hydrazoic acid is 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ and Ka for propanoic acid is 1.3 × 10⁻⁵, So, hydrazoic acid is the stronger acid.

(d) the stronger base between the azide ion and the propanoate ion

The higher the value of the Kb, the stronger the base. Kb for the azide ion is 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ and Kb for the propanate ion is 7.8 × 10⁻¹⁰, so the propanate ion is a stronger base.

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes.which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature.sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent
