If the average salinity of seawater is 35ppt, how many grams of dissolved salts will 500g of seawater contain?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>17.5 g 35 ppt stands for 35 parts per thousand. So let's convert that to a decimal number by taking 35 and dividing by 1000. 35/1000 = 0.035 Now multiply that number by the number of grams of seawater you have. So 0.035 * 500 g = 17.5 g So you have 17.5 grams of salt when you have 500 grams of seawater.</span>

You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH 4.00 buffer solution using 0.100 M benzoic acid (p K a = 4.20 ) and 0.200 M sodium benzoate

bekas [8.4K]

Answer : The volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

Explanation :

Let the volume of sodium benzoate (salt) be, x

So, the volume of benzoic acid (acid) will be, (100 - x)

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$4.00=4.20+\log \left(\frac{(\frac{0.200x}{100})}{(\frac{0.100(100-x)}{100})}\right)$

x = 29.0

The volume of sodium benzoate = x = 29.0 mL

The volume of benzoic acid (acid) = (100 - x) = (100 - 29.0) = 71 mL

Thus, the volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.
