Calculate each of the following: (b) Mass % of Mn in potassium permanganate

1 answer:

3 0

Mass percent is the estimation of the mass of the element in a compound in percentage form. The mass % of manganese (Mn) in potassium permanganate is 34.76 %.

<h3>What is the mass percentage?</h3>

The mass percentage is defined by dividing the mass of the element by the molecular mass of the compound followed by multiplying it by 100%. It is given as,

Mass % = (Atomic Mass of element ÷ Molecular Mass) × 100

As it is known that,

Atomic Mass of manganese = 54.94 g/mol

Molecular Mass of potassium permanganate = 158.034 g/mol

Substituting values to calculate mass % as:

% Mn = (Atomic Mass of Mn ÷ Molecular Mass of KMnO₄) × 100

= (54.94 g/mol ÷ 158.034 g/mol) × 100

= 34.76 %

Therefore, 34.76% Mn is present in KMnO₄.

What volume of 0.307 m naoh must be added to 200.0ml of 0.425m acetic acid (ka = 1.75 x 10-5 ) to produce a buffer of ph = 4.250

Blababa [14]

The buffer solution target has a pH value smaller than that of pKw (i.e., pH < 7.) The solution is therefore acidic. It contains significantly more protons $\text{H}^{+}$ than hydroxide ions $\text{OH}^{-}$ . The equilibrium equation shall thus contain protons rather than a combination of water and hydroxide ions as the reacting species.

Assuming that $x \; \text{L}$ of the 0.307 $\text{mol} \cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ sodium hydroxide solution was added to the acetic acid. Based on previous reasoning, $x$ is sufficiently small that acetic acid was in excess, and no hydroxide ion has yet been produced in the solution. The solution would thus contain $0.2000 \times 0.425 - 0.307 \; x = 0.085 - 0.307 \; x$ moles of acetic acid and $0.307 \; x$ moles of acetate ions.

Let $\text{HAc}$ denotes an acetic acid molecule and $\text{Ac}^{-}$ denotes an acetate ion. The RICE table below resembles the hydrolysis equilibrium going on within the buffer solution.

$\begin{array}{lccccc}\text{R} & \text{HAc} & \leftrightharpoons & \text{H}^{+} & + & \text{Ac}^{-}\\\text{I} & 0.085 - 0.307 \; x& & 0 & & 0.307 \; x\\\end{array}$

The buffer shall have a pH of 4.250, meaning that it shall have an equilibrium proton concentration of $10^{4.250}\; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ . There were no proton in the buffer solution before the hydrolysis of acetic acid. Therefore the table shall have an increase of $10^{-4.250}\;\text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ in proton concentration in the third row. Atoms conserve. Thus the concentration increase of protons by $10^{-4.250}\;\text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ would correspond to a decrease in acetic acid concentration and an increase in acetate ion concentration by the same amount. That is:

$\begin{array}{lcccccc}\text{R} & \text{HAc} & \leftrightharpoons & \text{H}^{+} & + & \text{Ac}^{-}\\\text{I} & 0.085 - 0.307 \; x& & 0 & & 0.307 \; x\\\text{C} & - 10^{-4.250} & & +10^{-4.250} & & +10^{-4.250} \\\text{E} & 0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x& & 10^{-4.250} & & 10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x\end{array}$

By definition:

$\text{K}_{a} = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot [\text{Ac}^{-}] / [\text{HAc}]\\\phantom{\text{K}_{a}} = 10^{-4.250} \times (10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x) / (0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x)$

The question states that

$\text{K}_{a} = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}$

such that

$10^{-4.250} \times (10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x) / (0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x) = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}\\6.16 \times 10^{-5} \; x = 1.48 \times 10^{-6}\\x = 0.0241$

Thus it takes $0.0241 \; \text{L}$ of sodium hydroxide to produce this buffer solution.
