What total volume of ozone measured at a pressure of 24.5 mmHg and a temperature of 232 K can be destroyed when all of the chlor

ddd [48]

Answer:

$1.75272\ \text{m}^3$

Explanation:

The breakdown reaction of ozone is as follows

$CF_3Cl + UV \rightarrow CF_3 + Cl$

$Cl + O_3 \rightarrow ClO + O_2$

$O_3 + UV \rightarrow O_2 + O$

$ClO + O \rightarrow Cl + O_2$

It can be seen that 2 moles of ozone is required in the complete cycle

So for 10 cycles, 20 moles of ozone is required

m = Mass of $CF_3Cl$ = 15.5 g

M = Molar mass of $CF_3Cl$ = 104.46 g/mol

P = Pressure = 24.5 mmHg

T = Temperature = 232 K

R = Gas constant = $62.363\ \text{L mmHg/K mol}$

Number of moles is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{15.5}{104.46}\\\Rightarrow n=0.1484\ \text{moles}$

$20\ \text{moles} = 20\times 0.1484 = 2.968\ \text{moles}$

From ideal gas law we have

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{2.968\times 62.363\times 232}{24.5}\\\Rightarrow V=1752.72\ \text{L}=1.75272\ \text{m}^3$

For 20 cycles of the reaction the volume of the ozone is $1.75272\ \text{m}^3$ .

50.0 mL solution of 0.160 M potassium alaninate ( H 2 NC 2 H 5 CO 2 K ) is titrated with 0.160 M HCl . The p K a values for the

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a) 6.12

b) 1.87

Explanation:

At the onset of the equivalence point (i.e the first equivalence point); alaninate is being converted to alanine.

$H_2NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$ ------> $H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2$

1 mole of alaninate react with 1 mole of acid to give 1 mole of alanine;

therefore 50.0 mL of 0.160 M alaninate required 50.0 mL of 0.160M HCl to reach the first equivalence point.

The concentration of alanine can be gotten via the following process as shown below;

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = $\frac{initial moles of alaninate}{total volume}$

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = $\frac{(50.0mL)*(0.160M)}{(50.0mL+50.0mL)}$

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = $\frac{8}{100mL}$

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = 0.08 M

Alanine serves as an intermediary form, however the concentration of $H^+$ and the pH can be determined as follows;

$[H^+]$ = $\sqrt{\frac{K_{a1}K_{a2}{[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]+K_{a1}K_w}{ K_{a1}{[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2] } }$

$[H^+]$ = $\sqrt{\frac{ (10^{-pK_{a1})}(10^{-pK_{a2})}(0.08)+(10^{-pK_{a1})}(1.0*10^{-14})} {(10^{-pK_{a1}})+(0.08)} }$

$[H^+]$ = $\sqrt{\frac{ (10^{-2.344})(10^{-9.868})(0.08)+(10^{-2.344})(1.0*10^{-14})} {(10^{-2.344})+(0.08)} }$

$[H^+]$ = $7.63*10^{-7}M$

pH = - log $[H^+]$

pH = $-log[7.63*10^{-7}]$

pH= 6.12

Therefore, the pH of the first equivalent point = 6.12

b) At the second equivalence point; all alaninate is converted into protonated alanine.

$H_2NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$ -----> $H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2$

$H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$ -----> $H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H$

Here; we have a situation where 1 mole of alaninate react with 2 moles of acid to give 1 mole of protonated alanine;

Moreover, 50.0 mL of 0.160 M alaninate is needed to produce 100.0mL of 0.160 M HCl in order to achieve the second equivalence point.

Thus, the concentration of protonated alanine can be determined as:

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = $\frac{initial moles of alaninate}{total volume}$

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = $\frac{(50.0mL)*(0.160M)}{(50.0mL+100.0mL)}$

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = $\frac{8}{150}$

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = 0.053 M

The pH at the second equivalence point can be calculated via the dissociation of protonated alanine at equilibrium which is represented as:

$H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H$ ⇄ $H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$

(0.053 - x) x x

$K_{a1}$ = $\frac{[H^+] [H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2]}{[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]}$

$10^{-PK_{a1}}$ = $\frac{x*x}{(0.053-x)}$

$10^{-2.344} =\frac{x^2}{(0.053-x)}$

$0.00453 = \frac{x^2}{(0.053-x)}$

$0.00453(0.053-x) =x^2$

$x^2+0.00453x-(2.4009*10^{-4})$

Using quadratic equation formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

we have:

$\frac{-0.00453+\sqrt{(0.00453)^2-4(1)(-2.4009*10^{-4})} }{2(1)}$ OR $\frac{-0.00453-\sqrt{(0.00453)^2-4(1)(-2.4009*10^{-4})} }{2(1)}$

= 0.0134 OR -0.0179

So; we go by the positive integer which says

x = 0.0134

So $[H^+]=[H_3^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]= 0.0134 M$

pH = $-log[H^+]$

pH = $-log[0.0134]$

pH = 1.87

Thus, the pH of the second equivalent point = 1.87
