Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is given as,

                                         pH  =  pKa  +  log [A⁻] / [HA]   -------- (1)

Solution:

Convert Ka into pKa,

                                         pKa  =  -log Ka

                                         pKa  =  -log 1.37 × 10⁻⁴

                                         pKa  =  3.863

Putting value of pKa and pH in eq.1,

                                         4.29  =  3.863 + log [lactate] / [lactic acid]

Or,

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.29 - 3.863

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  0.427

Taking Anti log,

                             [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  2.673

Result:

           2.673 M  lactate salt when mixed with 1 M Lactic acid produces a buffer of pH = 4.29.

Two solutions, initially at 24.60 °C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter (Ccal = 15.5 J/°C). When a 100.0 mL volume of 0.100

Answer:

ΔH = -59.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs between Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ ions is:

Ag⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl(s) + ΔH

To find ΔH we need to obtain moles of reaction and heat released in the reaction because ΔH is defined as heat released per mole of reaction.

<em>Moles of reaction:</em>

Moles of Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ added are:

Ag⁺: 0.100L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.01moles

Cl⁻: 0.100L * (0.200mol / L) 0 0.02 moles

That means limiting reactant is Ag⁺ and moles of reaction are 0.01 moles

<em>Heat released:</em>

To find heat released we must use coffe cup calorimeter equation:

Q = C*m*ΔT

<em>Where C is specific heat of solution (4.18J/g°C), m is the mass of solution (200g because there are 100 + 100mL = 200mL and density of solution is 1g/mL) and ΔT is change in temperature (25.30°C - 24.60°C = 0.70°C).</em>

Replacing:

Q = C*m*ΔT

Q = 4.18J/g°C * 200g * 0.70°C

Q = 585,2J

Is total heat released.

The calorimeter absorbs:

15.5J / °C * 0.7°C = 10.85

Thus, when 0.01 moles reacts, 585.2J + 10.85  = 596.05J are released (Heat released is heat abosrbed by calorimeter + Heat absorbed by water) and ΔH is:

ΔH = 596.05J / 0.01 moles =

ΔH = 59605J / mol =

<h3>ΔH = -59.6kJ/mol</h3>

<em>As heat is released, ΔH < 0.</em>

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Let's say we were Subtracting 3-2=? To Find the Answer we would Subtract  2 from 3 which is 1 Simple our answer is 1  But let's say the Question is 3 - 1= ? to find this answer we would subtract 1 from 3 which is 2 Let's say you were subtracting 3-3=? to do this we take 3 away from 3 now 3 is 0 so our answer is 0 so there are 3 different problems we can make with 3 we could make more but I'm just telling the basics Hope I Helped Bye :)

What are the products when ammonia (NH3) decomposes according to this equation?<br> NH3
In-s [12.5K]
<span>Ammonia (NH3) is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen elements.
=> N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3

Ammonia is basically used as a fertilizer. It is a gas composed of nitrogen and hydrogen. It is colorless with strong odor. Here are some other uses of Ammonia aside from fertilizer:
=> used by manufacturer to produce synthetic fiber
=> Used in metallurgical process
Ammonia can be decomposed easily and it produce hydrogen that is very convenient in welding.
Ammonia’s boiling point is -28.03 F and freezing point is -107.8F.

If the initial concentration of a is 0.00540 m, what will be the concentration after 795 s?
zavuch27 [327]
<span>Feb 19, 2014 - The units of k tell you that this is a second order reaction. So, to solve this, you need to use the integrated rate law for a 2nd order reaction: 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o 1/[A] = 0.540/Ms (835 s) + 1/0.00640 1/[A] = 607 [A] = 1.65X10^-3 M.</span><span>
