pH of 0.40M triethylammonium chloride is 5.90.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

A solution's acidity may be determined by looking at its pH, which is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration. Pure water slightly separates into ions with roughly equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH) ions. [H+] is 107 for a neutral solution, or pH = 7.

<h3>Given : </h3>

Concentration of triethylammonium chloride = 0.40M

pH = ?

<h3>Solution: </h3>

(CH3CH2)3NHCl ------> (CH3CH2)3NH⁺ + Cl⁻

(CH3CH2)3NH⁺ will react with water to give H3O⁺ .

(CH3CH2)3N will have a Kb = 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)

Kw = Kb x Ka

=> Ka = Kw / Kb = 10^(-14) / 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)

=> Ka = 1.92 x 10^(-11)

so by the reaction we have ,

Ka = x²/(0.40 - x)

=> x = 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)

now, pH = -log( [H3O⁺]) = - log ( 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)) = 5.906

Ethanol is added to gasoline because the oxygen it contains improves gasoline's burning efficiency. Its combustion reaction is g
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) Exothermic

B) (1) -410.5 kJ  (2) -98.1 kcal

C) -976.44 kJ

Explanation:

A) By the value of ΔH (-1236 kJ), we can see that it's negative, it means that the heat is being lost by the reaction, and, because of that, the reaction is exothermic.

B) The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol, so, at 15.3 grams, the number of moles is:

n = mass/molar mass

n = 15.3/46.07

n = 0.3321 mol

By the equation

1 mol of ethanol           ----------------------- -1236 kJ

0.3321 mol of ethanol ----------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

x = -410.5 kJ

1 kJ --------------- 0.2390 kcal

-410 kJ ---------- y

y = -98.10 kcal

C) The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, so the number of moles at 42.7 g is:

n = 42.7/18

n = 2.37 moles

By the equation

3 moles of water     ----------------------- -1236 kJ

2.37 moles of water --------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

3x = -2929.32

x = -976.44 kJ

Hydrobromic acid, HBr, is a strong acid. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, is a weak acid. If you prepared equal
snow_tiger [21]
HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.

In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.

pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.

If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.

Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.

Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.

Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.

Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

Question 044 Which of the following sequences converts 2-methylpropene and sodium acetylide into 3-methylbutanal? 1) HBr; 2) NaC
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

1) HBr; 2) NaCCH; 3) O3; 4) H2O

Explanation:

The first step is formation of alkyl halide followed by reaction with sodium acetylide, to form 3-methylbutene, which is then followed by oxidation reaction with O3& H2O to 3-methylbutanal

A chemist must prepare 300.0mL of nitric acid solution with a pH of 0.70 at 25°C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a 300.0mL
d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

pH = 0.70

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.70=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=10^{-0.70}=0.199M

1 mole of nitric acid produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of nitrate ions.

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.199 M

To calculate the volume of the concentrated solution, we use the equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of the concentrated nitric acid solution

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted nitric acid solution

We are given:

M_1=7.0M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.199M\\V_2=350mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

7.0\times V_1=0.199\times 350.0\\\\V_1=\frac{0.199\times 350}{7.0}=9.95mL

Hence, the volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL
