Chloroxylenol is an antiseptic and disinfectant with the structure shown below.
(a) Chloroxylenol is a weak Brønsted–Lowry acid.
a.[1]
What is the systematic name of chloroxylenol?
b.[1]
Predict the number of peaks in a 13C^{13}\text{C}13C NMR spectrum of chloroxylenol.
c.[5]
A student measures the pH of an antiseptic solution containing chloroxylenol to be 5.22.
The label on the bottle shows the percentage of chloroxylenol in the solution as 3.13% (weight/volume), meaning 100 cm3100\text{ cm}^3100 cm3 of the solution contains 3.13 g3.13\text{ g}3.13 g of chloroxylenol.
Assume the following:
- Chloroxylenol is the only acidic component in the solution.
- Chloroxylenol is a weak monobasic acid.
- The density of the solution is 1.00 g cm−31.00\text{ g cm}^{-3}1.00 g cm−3.
Write the equation, using molecular formulae, for the acid dissociation of chloroxylenol, and calculate the acid dissociation constant, KaK_{\text{a}}Ka, for chloroxylenol.
