Question 24 (1 point)

Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45?

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid

You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:

[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = 0.40 moles HClO₂

Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:

1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.3128 = [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂

As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:

0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =

<h3>11.31g NaClO₂</h3>

To a 25.00 mL volumetric flask, a lab technician adds a 0.150 g sample of a weak monoprotic acid, HA , and dilutes to the mark w

Elis [28]

Answer: The number of moles of weak acid is $4.24\times 10^{-3}$ moles.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles of KOH, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Volume of solution = 43.81 mL = 0.04381 L (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)

Molarity of the solution = 0.0969 moles/ L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0969mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}}{0.04381}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$

The chemical reaction of weak monoprotic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$HA+KOH\rightarrow KA+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of KOH reacts with 1 mole of weak monoprotic acid.

So, $4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$ of KOH will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.24\times 10^{-3}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$ of weak monoprotic acid.

Hence, the number of moles of weak acid is $4.24\times 10^{-3}$ moles.

Nady [450]

Answer:

As for your question, I know to forget to put the options, specifically that your question is incomplete.

Explanation:

Although it could help you by telling you that always a reaction that seeks to balance the pH, and achieve neutrality ... It is necessary to achieve a concentration of OH equal to that of H +, in this way the hydroxyl and the protons.
