Answer:
Coefficients represents no of moles while subscripts represent no of atoms.
An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.
Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]
moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles
moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles
pKa of phenol = 9.98
We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]
volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula
pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46
physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the water was undergoing a state change, which means that its original properties are preserved
Explanation:
The boiling of water is a physical change because the original properties of the water is preserved.
- A physical change is the one that alters the physical properties of matter.
- This kind of change is easily reversible as the water can be cooled back.
- No new kinds of matter is produced in this kind of change .
- The molecules of the matter still retains their property after.
During the boiling of water, intermolecular bonds called hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are broken. This makes the individual molecules free.
