No, molecules don’t ever stop moving
You have to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Keep in mind that because the Pka is given the equation changes form slightly:
PH = Pka + log[acid/base]
Step 1 (Figure out the concentrations):
0.282 M of Acid (C6H5OOH) - 0.150 M = 0.132 M of acid
0.282 M of Base (C6HCOO) + 0.150 M = 0.432 M of bas3
Step 2 (Plug into equation):
PH = Pka + log[acid/base]
PH = 4.20 + log[0.132 M/0.432 M]
PH = 3.69
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio of N:O</em>.
I like to summarize the calculations in a table.
<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u> <u>Ratio¹ </u> <u> ×2² </u> <u>Integers</u>³
N 1.85 1 2 2
O 4.63 2.503 5.005 5
¹To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (1.85).
²Multiply these values by a number (2) that makes the numbers in the ratio close to integers.
³Round off the number in the ratio to integers (2 and 5).
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
