A buffer is prepared by adding 150mL of 0.50 M NH3 to 250mL of 0.50 M NH4NO3. What is the pH of the final solution? (Kb for NH3

= 1.8 x 10^-5)

From the calculations, the pH of the final solution is 9.04.

<h3>What is the pH of the buffer?</h3>

We can use the Henderson Hasselbach equation to obtain the final pH of the solution in terms of the pKb and the base concentration.

Number of moles of salt = 250/1000 L * 0.5 M = 0.125 moles

Number of moles of base = 150/1000 L * 0.5 M = 0.075 moles

Total volume of solution = 250ml + 150ml = 400ml or 0.4 L

Molarity of base = 0.075 moles/ 0.4 L = 0.1875 M

Molarity of salt = 0.125 moles/ 0.4 L = 0.3125 M

pOH = pKb + log[salt/base]

pKb = -log(1.8 x 10^-5) = 4.74

pOH = 4.74 + log[0.3125/0.1875 ]

pOH = 4.96

pH = 14- 4.96

pH = 9.04

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l), ΔH = –1.37 × 103 kJ For the combustion of ethyl alcohol as described in the above equati
babymother [125]

Answer:

The true statements are: I. The reaction is exothermic.

II. The enthalpy change would be different if gaseous water was produced.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction: C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l),  ΔH= -1.37×10³kJ

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat or energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Thus for an exothermic process the change in enthalpy is less than 0 or negative (ΔH < 0) .

Since the enthalpy change for a combustion reaction is negative. <u>Therefore, the given reaction is exothermic.</u>

2. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is equal to difference of the sum of standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of the products and the reactants.

ΔHr° = ∑ n.ΔHf°(products) − ∑ n.ΔHf°(reactants)

As the value of ΔHf° of water in gaseous state and liquid state is not the same.

<u>Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction will be different, if gaseous water was present instead of liquid water.</u>

3. An oxidation-reduction reaction or a redox reaction involves simultaneous reduction and oxidation processes.

The given chemical reaction, represents the combustion reaction of ethanol.

Since combustion reactions are redox reactions. <u>Therefore, the given combustion reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.</u>

4. According to the ideal gas equation: P.V =n.R.T

Volume (V) ∝ n (number of moles of gas)

Since the number of moles (n) of gaseous reactants is 3 and number of moles of gaseous (n) products is 2.

<u>Therefore, the volume occupied by 3 moles of the reactant gaseous molecules will be more than 2 moles product gaseous molecules.</u>

Determine the acid dissociation constant for a 0.0250 M weak acid solution that has a pH of 2.37 . The equilibrium equation of i
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

For part (a): pHsol=2.22

Explanation:

I will show you how to solve part (a), so that you can use this example to solve part (b) on your own.

So, you're dealing with formic acid, HCOOH, a weak acid that does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution. This means that an equilibrium will be established between the unionized and ionized forms of the acid.

You can use an ICE table and the initial concentration ofthe acid to determine the concentrations of the conjugate base and of the hydronium ions tha are produced when the acid ionizes

HCOOH(aq]+H2O(l]⇌ HCOO−(aq] + H3O+(aq]

I 0.20 0 0

C (−x) (+x) (+x)

E (0.20−x) x x

You need to use the acid's pKa to determine its acid dissociation constant, Ka, which is equal to
