If the equation is not balanced, you have extra of one substance. If you try to do an experiment, you could wind up with a totally different outcome. Its kind of like baking a cake. If the ingredients aren't the right amounts, you dont get an edible cake.

A 1.0l buffer solution contains 0.100 mol of hc2h3o2 and 0.100 mol of nac2h3o2. the value of ka for hc2h3o2 is 1.8×10−5. part a
Mandarinka [93]
There are two ways to solve this problem. We can use the ICE method which is tedious and lengthy or use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. This equation relates pH and the concentration of the ions in the solution. It is expressed as

pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA] 

 where pKa = - log [Ka]
[A] is the concentration of the conjugate base
[HA] is the concentration of the acid

Given:
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
NaOH added = 0.015 mol
HC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol
NaC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol

Solution:
pKa = - log ( 1.8x10^-5) = 4.74

[A] = 0.015 mol + 0.100 mol = .115 moles
[HA] = .1 - 0.015 = 0.085 moles

pH = 4.74 + log (.115/0.085)
pH = 4.87

Can any one please help me to answers this question i don't get it. thank in advance.

First, lets balance the reaction equation:
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
It is visible form the equation that 4 moles of Fe require 3 moles of O₂
Molar ratio Fe/O₂ = 4/3 = 1.33
Molar ratio O₂/Fe = 3/4 = 0.75
Now, we check the molar ratios present:
Fe/O₂ = 6.8/8.9 = 0.76
O₂/Fe = 1.31

Thus, Iron is the limiting reactant because its ratio is not being fulfilled while the ratio of O₂ is surpassed.

How many grams of sulfuric acid is needed to neutralize 380 ml of solution with pH = 8.94
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer : The mass of sulfuric acid needed is 16.23\times 10^{-5}g.

Solution : Given,

pH = 8.94

Volume of solution = 380 ml = 380\times 10^{-3}      (1ml=10^{-3}L)

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98.079 g/mole

As we know,

pH+pOH=14\\pOH=14-8.94=5.06

pOH=-log[OH^-]

5.06=-log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=0.00000871=8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L

Now we have to calculate the moles of OH^-.

Formula used : Moles=Concentration\times Volume

\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Concentration of }[OH^-]\times Volume\\\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=(8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L)\times (380\times 10^{-3}L)=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles

For neutralization, equal number of moles of H^+ ions will neutralize same number of OH^- ions.

\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Moles of }[H^+]=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles

As, H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO^{2-}_4

From this reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of H^+ ion is given by the 1 mole of H_2SO_4

3309.8\times 10^{-9} moles of H^+ ion is given by \frac{3309.8\times 10^{-9}}{2}=1654.9\times 10^{-9} moles of H_2SO_4

Now we have to calculate the mass of sulfuric acid.

Mass of sulfuric acid = Moles of H_2SO_4 × Molar mass of sulfuric acid

Mass of sulfuric acid = (1654.9\times 10^{-9}moles)\times (98.079g/mole)=162310.94\times 10^{-9}=16.23\times 10^{-5}g

Therefore, the mass of sulfuric acid needed is 16.23\times 10^{-5}g.
