Answer:

90 g CH₃NH₃Cl

Explanation:

It appears your question lacks the values required to solve this problem. However, an online search tells me these are the values. Be aware if your values are different your answer will also be different, but the methodology remains the same.

" A chemistry graduate student is given 450 mL of a 1.70 M methylamine solution. Methylamine is a weak base with Kb=4.4x10⁻⁴. What mass of CH₃NH₃Cl should the student dissolve in the methylamine solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 10.40 ? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits. "

We'll use the <u>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</u>:

  • pH = pKa + log\frac{[Methylamine]}{[Salt]}

So first we <u>use Kb to calculate Ka and then pKa</u>:

  • Ka = Kw/Kb ⇒ Ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴/4.4x10⁻⁴ = 2.27x10⁻¹¹
  • pKa = -log(Ka) = 10.64

Now we can <u>calculate the concentration of the salt</u>, CH₃NH₃Cl:

  • pH = pKa + log\frac{[Methylamine]}{[Salt]}
  • 10.40 = 10.64 + log\frac{1.70}{[Salt]}
  • -0.24 = log\frac{1.70}{[Salt]}
  • 10^{-0.24}=\frac{1.70}{[Salt]}
  • [Salt] = 2.95 M

Now we use the final volume to <u>calculate the moles of CH₃NH₃Cl and finally its mass</u>, using its molecular weight:

  • 450 mL ⇒ 450/1000 = 0.450 L
  • 2.95 M * 0.450 L = 1.3275 mol CH₃NH₃Cl
  • 1.3275 mol CH₃NH₃Cl * 67.45 g/mol = 89.54 g CH₃NH₃Cl

Which when rounded to 2 significant digits becomes 90 g CH₃NH₃Cl

Why is it important for scientists to review and repeat the work of other scientists?
Veronika [31]

Scientists repeat experiments for reliability.  Experiments have to be repeated, since performing an experiment only once, does not prove a scientists theory on the experiment, which they develop by performing the experiment.  And then performing the experiment again or even many times to prove or disapprove their theories.  Btw, before an experiment begins, the scientist will make a hypothesis of what they believe will happen.  If proven correctly, they would then use those results they record throughout the experiment, from beginning to end to prove whether or not their hypothesis are correct or incorrect.  Click to let others know, how helpful is it

So that they can prove the other scientists views wrong and develop a new theory in which there is more sense and credibility.

2) If I have an unknown quantity (# of moles) of gas at a pressure of 32 atm, a volume of 70 L, and a temperature of 25˚C. How m
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

91.5 mol

Explanation:

Volume of gas = 70 L

Temperature = 25°C

Pressure = 32 atm

Moles of gas  = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

25+273.15 = 298.15 K

By putting values,

32 atm × 70 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 298.15 K

2240 atm.L = n ×24.48 atm.L /mol

n = 2240 atm.L / 24.48  atm.L /mol  

n = 91.5 mol
