From the calculations, the pH of the buffer is 3.1.

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

The  Henderson-Hasselbach equation comes in handy when we deal with the pH of a buffer solution. From that equation;

pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]

Amount of the salt = 25/1000 *  0.50 M = 0.0125 moles

Amount of the acid = 75/1000 *  1.00 M = 0.075 moles

Total volume = ( 25 + 75)/1000 = 0.1 L

Molarity of salt = 0.0125 moles/0.1 L = 0.125 M

Molarity of the acid = 0.075 moles/0.1 L = 0.75 M

Given that the pKa of lactic acid is 3.86

pH = 3.86 + log( 0.125/0.75)

pH = 3.1

jeka94

Answer:

T_f = 25.05°C

Explanation:

Given:

the value of ΔHcomb (heat of combustion) for dimethylphthalate (C10H10O4) is = 4685 kJ/mol.

mass = 0.905g of dimethylphthalate

molar mass = 194.18g dimethylphthalate

number of moles of dimethylphthalate = ???

T_i = 21.5°C

C_{calorimeter} = 6.15 kJ/°C

T_f = ???

since we have our molar mass and mass of dimethylphthalate ;we can determine the number of moles as;

0.905g of dimethylphthalate ×  \frac{1 mole (dimethylphthalate)}{194.184g(dimethylphthalate)}

number of moles of dimethylphthalate = 0.000466 moles

Heat released = moles of dimethylphthalate × heat of combustion

=  0.000466 moles × 4685 kJ

= 21.84 kJ

∴ Heat absorbed by the calorimeter =  C_{calorimeter} (T_f-T_i} )

21.84 kJ =6.15 kJ/°C * (T_f-21,5^0C)

21.84 KJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f) - (6.15 kJ/^0C*21.5^0C)

21.84 KJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f) - 132.225 kJ

21.84 KJ + 132.225 kJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f)

154.065 kJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f)

T_f = \frac{154.065kJ}{6.15kJ/^0C}

T_f =25.05°C
