Question

If you were asked to run Spartan calculations on the C2H3O2-/H3O ion pair, the trend in the resulting data points would appear similar to OCl-/H3O.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The data curve for OCI-/H3O appears to be similar to C2H3O2-/H3O because protons have not dissociated with conjugate base. This conjugate base is strong and hold proton in solution while acids try to dissociate it.
