Answer:

The pH of the buffer solution is 4.60.

Explanation:

Concentration of acid = $[HC_2H_3O_2]=0.225 M$

Concentration of salt = $[KC_2H_3O_2]=0.162 M$

Dissociation constant = $K_a=1.8 \times 10^{-5}$

The pH of the buffer can be determined by Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

$pH=pK_a+\log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}$

$pH=-\log[1.8 \times 10^{-5}]+\log\frac{0.162 M}{0.225 M}$

pH = 4.60

The pH of the buffer solution is 4.60.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given:

A buffer system consisting of 0.225 M HC₂H₃O₂ and 0.162 M KC₂H₃O₂.

The Ka for HC₂H₃O₂ is 1.8 x 10⁻⁵.

Question:

Calculate the pH of this buffer.

The Process:

Let us first observe the ionization reaction of the KC₂H₃O₂ salt below.

$\boxed{ \ KC_2H_3O_2 \rightleftharpoons K^+ + C_2H_3O_2^- \ }$

The KC₂H₃O₂ salt has valence = 1 according to the number of C₂H₃O₂⁻ ions as a weak part.
HC₂H₃O₂ and C₂H₃O₂⁻ are conjugate acid-base pairs
HC₂H₃O₂ and C₂H₃O₂⁻ form an acidic buffer system.

To calculate the specific pH of a given buffer, we need using The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for acidic buffers:

$\boxed{ \ pH = pK_a + log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]} \ }$

where,

Ka represents the dissociation constant for the weak acid;
[A-] represent the concentration of the conjugate base (i.e. salt);
[HA] is the concentration of the weak acid.

$\boxed{ \ pH = pK_a + log\frac{[C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ pH = -log(1.8 \times 10^{-5}) + log\frac{[0.162]}{[0.225]} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ pH = 5-log \ 1.8 - 0.1427 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ pH = 5 - 0.2553 - 0.1427 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ pH = 4.602 \ }$

Thus, the pH of this buffer equal to 4.602.

zmey [24]

Answer:

212.8 dm^3 or L

Explanation:

1 mole of any sub=6.02×10^23 molecules

X mole of O2=5.7×10^24 molecules

X mole=5.7×10^24/6.02×10^23

=9.5 mole

1 mole of any gas at stp=22.4 dm^3

Therefore, 9.5 mole of O2 will be 22.4×9.5

In the gas-phase reaction 2 A + B ⇌ 3 C + 2 D, it was found that, when 1.00 mol A, 2.00 mol B, and 1.00 mol D were mixed and all

Naddik [55]

Answer:

(i)The mole fractions are :

$A=\frac{0.4}{4.3} \\=0.0930$

$B=\frac{1.4}{4.3} \\=0.3256$

$C=\frac{0.9}{4.3} \\=0.2093$

$D=\frac{1.6}{4.3} \\=0.3721$

(ii) $K=0.4508$

(iii)ΔG = 1.974kJ

Explanation:

The given equation is :

$2A+B$ ⇄ $3C+2D$

Let $\alpha$ be the number of moles dissociated per mole of $B$

Thus ,

<em>The initial number of moles of :</em>

$A=1$

$B=2$

$C=0$

$D=1$

$2A\\(1-2\alpha)$ + $B\\2(1-\alpha)$ ⇄ $3C\\(3\alpha)$ + $2D\\(1+2\alpha)$

And finally the number of moles of $C[tex] is 0.9Thus ,[tex]3\alpha=0.9\\\alpha=0.3[tex]The final number of moles of:[tex]A = 1-2\alpha=1-2*0.3=0.4mol[tex] [tex]B=2(1-\alpha)=2(1-0.3)=1.4mol[tex][tex]D=1+2\alpha=1+2*0.3=1.6mol[tex]Thus , total number of moles are : 0.4+1.4+0.9+1.6=4.3(i)The mole fractions are : [tex]A=\frac{0.4}{4.3} \\=0.0930$

$B=\frac{1.4}{4.3} \\=0.3256$

$C=\frac{0.9}{4.3} \\=0.2093$

$D=\frac{1.6}{4.3} \\=0.3721$

(ii)

$K=\frac{(P_C^3)(P_D^2)}{(P_A^2)(P_B)}$

Where ,

$P_A,P_B,P_C,P_D$ are the partial pressures of A,B,C,D respectively.

Total pressure = 1 bar .

∴

<em> $P_A= 0.0930*1=0.0930$ </em>

<em> $P_B= 0.3256*1=0.3256$ </em>

<em> $P_C= 0.2093*1=0.2093$ </em>

<em> $P_D= 0.3721*1=0.3721$ </em>

$K=\frac{0.2093^3*0.3721^2}{0.0930^2*0.3256} \\K=0.4508$

(iii)

Δ $G=-RTlnK\\$

ΔG = $-8.314*(273+25)*ln(0.4508)\\=1973.96J\\=1.974kJ$

The internal energy of 10 moles of helium (a monatomic gas) is 15 kJ. What is the rms speed of the molecules? (The molar mass of

Radda [10]

Answer:

$v_{rms}=866.32m/s$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the rms speed of the molecules is computed by:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

Whereas the absolute temperature is computed from the internal energy (by using the Cp of helium (3.1156 J/g*K) as shown below:

$U=nCvT\\\\T=\frac{U}{nCv}=\frac{15kJ*\frac{1000J}{1kJ} }{10mol*\frac{4.00g}{1mol} *3.1156\frac{J}{g*K} } \\\\T=120.36K$

Thereby, the rms speed results:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3*8.314\frac{kg*m^2}{s^2*mol*K}*120.36K}{4.00\frac{g}{mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000} } } \\\\v_{rms}=866.32m/s$

Regards.

A 37.2 g sample of copper at 99.8 °C is carefully placed into an insulated container containing 188 g of water at 18.5 °C. Calcu

klasskru [66]

Answer:

T₂ = 19.95°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

$Heat\ Lost\ by\ Copper = Heat\ Gained\ by\ Water\\m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w$

where,

mc = mass of copper = 37.2 g

Cc = specific heat of copper = 0.385 J/g.°C

mw = mass of water = 188 g

Cw = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

ΔTc = Change in temperature of copper = 99.8°C - T₂

ΔTw = Change in temperature of water = T₂ - 18.5°C

T₂ = Final Temperature at Equilibrium = ?

Therefore,

$(37.2\ g)(0.385\ J/g.^oC)(99.8\ ^oC-T_2)=(188\ g)(4.184\ J/g.^oC)(T_2-18.5\ ^oC)\\99.8\ ^oC-T_2 = \frac{(188\ g)(4.184\ J/g.^oC)}{(37.2\ g)(0.385\ J/g.^oC)}(T_2-18.5\ ^oC)\\\\99.8\ ^oC-T_2 = (54.92) (T_2-18.5\ ^oC)\\54.92T_2+T_2 = 99.8\ ^oC + 1016.02\ ^oC\\\\T_2 = \frac{1115.82\ ^oC}{55.92}$

<u>T₂ = 19.95°C</u>
