pH of the buffer solution is 1.76.

Chemical dissociation of formic acid in the water:

HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The solution of formic acid and formate ions is a buffer.

[HCOO⁻] = 0.015 M; equilibrium concentration of formate ions

[HCOOH] + [HCOO⁻] = 1.45 M; sum of concentration of formic acid and formate

[HCOOH] = 1.45 M - 0.015 M

[HCOOH] = 1.435 M; equilibrium concentration of formic acid

pKa = -logKa

pKa = -log 1.8×10⁻⁴ M

pKa = 3.74

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 3.74 + log (0.015 M/1.435 M)

pH = 3.74 - 1.98

pH = 1.76

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).

Terms:

  • Cation: a positively charged ion
  • Anion: a negatively charge ion.
  • Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

37.9 grams of an unknown substance undergoes a temperature increase of
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1.023 J / g °C

Explanation:

m = 37.9 grams

ΔT = 25.0*C

H = 969 J

c = ?

The equation relating these equation is;

H = mcΔT

making c subject of formulae;

c = H / mΔT

c = 969 J / (37.9 g * 25.0*C)

Upon solving;

c = 1.023 J / g °C

0.53g of acetanilide was subjected to kjeldahl determination and the ammonia produced was collected in 50cm3 of 0.50M of h2so4.o
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

10.57% of N in acetanilide

Explanation:

All nitrogen in the sample is converted in NH₃ in the Kjeldahl determination. The NH₃ reacts with H₂SO₄ as follows:

2NH₃ + H₂SO₄ → 2NH₄⁺ + SO₄²⁻

The acid in excess in titrated with Na₂CO₃ as follows:

Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂O + CO₂

To solve this question we must find the moles of sodium carbonate = Moles of H₂SO₄ in excess. The added moles - Moles in excess = Moles of sulfuric acid that reacts:

<em>Moles Na₂CO₃ anf Moles H₂SO₄ in excess:</em>

0.025L * (0.05mol / L) = 1.25x10⁻³ moles Na₂CO₃ / 0.01360L =

0.09191M * 0.250L = 0.0230 moles H₂SO₄ in excess.

<em>Moles H₂SO₄ added:</em>

0.050L * (0.50mol / L) = 0.0250 moles H₂SO₄ added

<em>Moles that react:</em>

0.0250 moles - 0.0230 moles = 0.0020 moles H₂SO₄

<em>Moles of NH₃ = Moles N:</em>

0.0020 moles H₂SO₄ * (2mol NH₃ / 1mol H₂SO₄) = 0.0040 moles NH₃ = Moles N

<em>mass N and mass percent:</em>

0.0040 moles N * (14g / mol) = 0.056gN / 0.53g * 100 =

Choose the weaker acid in each of the following pairs:H₂SO₃ or H₂SO₄
WINSTONCH [101]

H₂SO₃ is weaker acid than  H₂SO₄.

The bonding power of an acid is typically influenced by the size of the "SO₄" atom; the smaller the "SO₄" atom, the stronger the H-A bond. The atoms get larger and the bonds get weaker as you proceed down a row in the Periodic Table, strengthening the acids.

<h3>Describe acid.</h3>

The term "acid" refers to any molecule or ion that can donate a proton (a Brnsted-Lowry acid) or establish a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid). The first class of acids is the proton donors, also known as Brnsted-Lowry acids.

Its chemical name is lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD as it is more often known. Because it has a potent hallucinogenic impact, using it could alter how you see the world and its objects. The effects of LSD are referred to as tripping.

The term "acid" is frequently used to denote aqueous solutions of acids with a pH lower than 8, even though the technical meaning of the term only pertains to the solute.
