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

Hey I think it is going to be 0986 moles. Cuz we can see that no. of moles of CaCO3 which will decompose is equivalent to the no. of CaO . Now it's just the matter of finding the no. of moles of CaCO3 .

If a buffer contains 1.05M B and 0.750M BH+ has the pH of 9.5. What would be the pH after 0.005mol of HCL is added to 0.5L of so
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Final pH: 9.49.

Round to two decimal places as in the question: 9.5.

Explanation:

The conjugate of B is a cation that contains one more proton than B. The conjugate of B is an acid. As a result, B is a weak base.

What's the pKb of base B?

Consider the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers of a weak base and its conjugate acid ion.

\displaystyle \text{pOH} = \text{pK}_b + \log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}}.

\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH}.

\text{pK}_w = 14.

\text{pOH} = 14 - 9.5 = 4.5

\displaystyle \text{pK}_b = \text{pOH} -\log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}}\\\phantom{\text{pK}_b} = 4.5 - \log{\frac{0.750}{1.05}} \\\phantom{\text{pK}_b} =4.64613.

What's the new salt-to-base ratio?

The 0.005 mol of HCl will convert 0.005 mol of base B to its conjugate acid ion BH⁺.

Initial:

  • n(\text{B}) = c\cdot V = 1.05 \times 0.5 = 0.525\;\text{mol};
  • n(\text{BH}^{+}) = c\cdot V = 0.750 \times 0.5 = 0.375\;\text{mol}.

After adding the HCl:

  • n(\text{B}) = 0.525 - 0.005 = 0.520\;\text{mol};
  • n(\text{BH}^{+}) = 0.375+ 0.005 = 0.380\;\text{mol}.

Assume that the volume is still 0.5 L:

  • \displaystyle [\text{B}] = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.520}{0.5} = 1.04\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.
  • \displaystyle [\text{BH}^{+}] = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.380}{0.5} = 0.760\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

What's will be the pH of the solution?

Apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation again:

\displaystyle \text{pOH} = \text{pK}_b + \log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}} = 4.64613 + \log{\frac{0.760}{1.04}} = 4.50991

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pOH}= 14 - 4.50991 = 9.49.

The final pH is slightly smaller than the initial pH. That's expected due to the hydrochloric acid. However, the change is small due to the nature of buffer solutions: adding a small amount of acid or base won't significantly impact the pH of the solution.

A 4.7-L sealed bottle containing 0.33 g of liquid ethanol,C₂H₆O, is placed in a refrigerator and reaches equilibrium with its va
Mama L [17]

The mass of ethanol present in the vapor is 8.8×10⁻²g. when liquid and vapor ethanol at equilibrium.

The volume of the bottle = 4.7 L

Mass of ethanol = 0.33 g

Temperature (T1) = -11 oC = 273-11 = 262 K

P1 = 6.65 torr

Now we will calculate the mole by applying the ideal gas equation:-

PV = nRT

Or, n = PV/RT

Where P is the pressure

 T is the temperature

 R is the gas constant = 0.0821 L atm mol-1K-1

 V is the volume

Substituting the values of P, V, T, and R the mole of ethanol is calculated as:-

  = 0.001913 mol C2H6

Conversion of the mole to gm

Molar mass of ethanol (M) = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of C2H6O =0.001913 mol C2H6O 46.07 g/mol = 0.088 =  8.8×10⁻²g.

Hence, the mass of ethanol present in the vapor is found to be  8.8×10⁻²g.

In which two types of reactions do opposite chemical changes occur
RideAnS [48]

Hello!

Before I can answer your question we need to know the different types of chemical reactions that can occur:

  • Single Replacement
  • Double Replacement
  • Synthesis
  • Decomposition
  • Combustion

Combustion is an answer that can usually be ruled out unless oxidation is occuring in the chemical equation (hyrdrogen occuring with oxygen to react)

Synthesis reaction, also known as a Combination reaction, is when the reactants combine to form a single product.

Decompostion is when a single reactant is deconstructed to form multiple products, or the opposite of Synthesis.


With these definitions alone, since they are opposite types of reactions, the answer would be Synthesis and Decomposition reactions !

Hope this helps and if you need anymore clarification feel free to ask.
