A buffer solution contains 0.240 M ammonium chloride and 0.499 M ammonia. If 0.0565 moles of perchloric acid are added to 250 mL

of this buffer, what is the pH of the resulting solution? (Assume that the volume does not change upon adding perchloric acid.)

Answer:

The pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

Explanation:

The initial pH of the buffer solution can be found using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})  

pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.240}{0.499}) = 4.43        

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.43 = 9.57

Now, the perchloric acid added will react with ammonia:

n_{NH_{3}} = 0.499moles/L*0.250 L - 0.0565 moles = 0.0683 moles

Also, the moles of ammonium chloride will increase in the same quantity according to the following reaction:

NH₃ + H₃O⁺ ⇄ NH₄⁺ + H₂O    

n_{NH_{4}Cl} = 0.240 moles/L*0.250L + 0.0565 moles = 0.1165 moles

Finally, we can calculate the pH of the resulting solution:

pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})  

pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.1165 moles/0.250 L}{0.0683 moles/0.250 L}) = 4.98  

pH = 14 - 4.98 = 9.02

Therefore, the pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

I hope it helps you!

How many chloride ions are in 2.6 moles of CaCl2?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻ are present in 2.6 moles of CaCl₂ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CaCl₂ = 2.6 mol

Number of Cl₂ ions = ?

Solution:

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

In one mole of CaCl₂ there are two moles of chloride ions present.

In 2.6 mol:

2.6×2 = 5.2 moles

1 mole Cl⁻ =   6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻ ions

5.2 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻  / 1mol

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻

What would be the composition and ph of an ideal buffer prepared from lactic acid (ch3chohco2h), where the hydrogen atom highlig
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

P_H =2.86

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

C_3H_6O_3  ⇄ C_3H_5O_3^{-}  +H^{+}

assuming degree of dissociation \alpha =1/10;

and initial concentraion of C_3H_6O_3 =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha

[C_3H_5O_3^{-}  ]= c\alpha

[H^{+}] = c\alpha

K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}

\alpha is very small so 1-\alpha can be neglected

and equation is;

K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}

[H^{+}] = c\alpha = \frac{K_a}{\alpha}

P_H =- log[H^{+} ]

P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha

K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}

\alpha = \frac{1}{10}

P_H= 3.86-1

P_H =2.86

composiion ;

c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]

[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)

[H^{+} ] =0.0014

c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Write a hypothesis using IF-THEN - BECAUSE of statement. (PLEASE HELP)
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Water is an essential part of life and its availability is important for all living creatures. On the other side, the world is suffering from a major problem of drinking water. There are several gases, microorganisms and other toxins (chemicals and heavy metals) added into water during rain, flowing water, etc. which is responsible for water pollution. This review article describes various applications of nanomaterial in removing different types of impurities from polluted water. There are various kinds of nanomaterials, which carried huge potential to treat polluted water (containing metal toxin substance, different organic and inorganic impurities) very effectively due to their unique properties like greater surface area, able to work at low concentration, etc. The nanostructured catalytic membranes, nanosorbents and nanophotocatalyst based approaches to remove pollutants from wastewater are eco-friendly and efficient, but they require more energy, more investment in order to purify the wastewater. There are many challenges and issues of wastewater treatment. Some precautions are also required to keep away from ecological and health issues. New modern equipment for wastewater treatment should be flexible, low cost and efficient for the commercialization purpose.
