Answer: Lake Minnetonka water is buffered instead of Upper Kintla Lake water that doesn´t have molecules to "muffle" the acid rain added.

Explanation:

When Adding Acid or a Base to a sample, and its pH doesn´t change, it will tell us that something is happening and <u>there must be some molecules in the sample that are reacting with the Acid or Base added </u>and that is why, the sample´s pH stay the same. These "molecules" muffle the Acid or Base, and they are called "buffer".

As you can see in the image below, there is an example with a typical Bicarbonate Buffer when adding HCl, the Bicarbonate molecules will react with the HCl, making it to change in other molecule, and losing its acid power.

<em>When the Acid Rain was added to the Upper Kintla Lake sample,</em> the pH changed instantly, because there were any molecule to react with the HCl added and HCl molecules remain the same, making the pH to drop from 7.5 to 5.2

Lake Minnetonka in Southern Minneosta is buffer solution

Explanation:

One can conclude from the observation that Lake Minnetonka is a buffer solution. A buffer solution is a special solution that resist changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added.

  • Buffers are solutions in equilibrium with a fairly constant pH.
  • They are  aqueous solutions containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.
  • Since the pH of water sample from Lake Minnetonka did not change, it is a buffer.

Can I heat liquids in a closed container?​
Anon25 [30]
If the container is closed, all vapor generated by boiling will stay in the container. If it is at constant volume, the pressure will rise in it. ... Heat pipes boil a liquid at one end and condense it at the other. So the system can remain closed because the contents don't increase: you put in heat, you take out heat.

Calculate the pH for each of the following cases in the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) with 0.210 M KOH(aq).
Degger [83]
a) before addition of any KOH : 

when we use the Ka equation & Ka = 4 x 10^-8 : 

Ka = [H+]^2 / [ HCIO]

by substitution:

4 x 10^-8 = [H+]^2 / 0.21

[H+]^2 = (4 x 10^-8) * 0.21

           = 8.4 x 10^-9

[H+] = √(8.4 x 10^-9)

       = 9.2 x 10^-5 M

when PH = -㏒[H+]

   PH = -㏒(9.2 x 10^-5)

        = 4  

b)After addition of 25 mL of KOH: this produces a buffer solution 

So, we will use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get PH:

PH = Pka +㏒[Salt]/[acid]


first, we have to get moles of HCIO= molarity * volume

                                                           =0.21M * 0.05L

                                                           = 0.0105 moles

then, moles of KOH = molarity * volume 

                                  = 0.21 * 0.025

                                  =0.00525 moles 

∴moles HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.00525 = 0.00525

and when the total volume is = 0.05 L + 0.025 L =  0.075 L

So the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume

                                        = 0.00525 / 0.075

                                        =0.07 M

and molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                    = 0.00525 / 0.075

                                    = 0.07 M

and when Ka = 4 x 10^-8 

∴Pka =-㏒Ka

         = -㏒(4 x 10^-8)

         = 7.4 

by substitution in H-H equation:

PH = 7.4 + ㏒(0.07/0.07)

∴PH = 7.4 

c) after addition of 35 mL of KOH:

we will use the H-H equation again as we have a buffer solution:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

first, we have to get moles HCIO = molarity * volume 

                                                        = 0.21 M * 0.05L

                                                        = 0.0105 moles

then moles KOH = molarity * volume
                            =  0.22 M* 0.035 L 

                            =0.0077 moles 

∴ moles of HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.0077=  8 x 10^-5

when the total volume = 0.05L + 0.035L = 0.085 L

∴ the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume 

                                      = 8 x 10^-5 / 0.085

                                      = 9.4 x 10^-4 M

and the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                          = 0.0077M / 0.085L

                                          = 0.09 M

by substitution:

PH = 7.4 + ㏒( 0.09 /9.4 x 10^-4)

∴PH = 8.38

D)After addition of 50 mL:

from the above solutions, we can see that 0.0105 mol HCIO reacting with 0.0105 mol KOH to produce 0.0105 mol KCIO which dissolve in 0.1 L (0.5L+0.5L) of the solution.

the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                   = 0.0105mol / 0.1 L

                                   = 0.105 M

when Ka = KW / Kb

∴Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 4 x 10^-8

       = 2.5 x 10^-7

by using Kb expression:

Kb = [CIO-] [OH-] / [KCIO]

when [CIO-] =[OH-] so we can substitute by [OH-] instead of [CIO-]

Kb = [OH-]^2 / [KCIO] 

2.5 x 10^-7 = [OH-]^2 /0.105

∴[OH-] = 0.00016 M

POH = -㏒[OH-]

∴POH = -㏒0.00016

           = 3.8
∴PH = 14- POH

        =14 - 3.8

PH = 10.2

e) after addition 60 mL of KOH:

when KOH neutralized all the HCIO so, to get the molarity of KOH solution

M1*V1= M2*V2

 when M1 is the molarity of KOH solution

V1 is the total volume = 0.05 + 0.06 = 0.11 L

M2 = 0.21 M 

V2 is the excess volume added  of KOH = 0.01L

so by substitution:

M1 * 0.11L = 0.21*0.01L

∴M1 =0.02 M

∴[KOH] = [OH-] = 0.02 M

∴POH = -㏒[OH-]

           = -㏒0.02 

           = 1.7

∴PH = 14- POH

       = 14- 1.7 

      = 12.3

When 0.5141 g of biphenyl (C12H10) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 25.823 °C to 29.419 °C
natka813 [3]

Answer:

\Delta_{r}U of the reaction is -6313 kJ/mol

\Delta_{r}H of the reaction is -6312 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Temperature\,\,change= \Delta U = 29.419-25.823 =3.506^{o}C

q_{cal}= C \times \Delta T

=5.861 \times 3.596 = 21.076\,kJ

q_{rxn}= -q_{cal}= -21.076\,kJ

\Delta_{r}U= -21.076 \times \frac{154}{0.5141}= -6313\, kJ/mol

Therefore, \Delta_{r}U of the reaction is -6313 kJ/mol.

The chemical reaction in bomb calorimeter  is as follows.

C_{12}H_{10}(s)+\frac{27}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 12CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}O(g)

Number\,of\,moles\Delta n=(12+5)-\frac{27}{2}=3.5

\Delta_{r}H=\Delta E+ \Delta n. RT

=-6313+3.5\times 8.314\times 10^{-3} \times 3.596=-6312\,kJ/mol

Therefore, \Delta_{r}H of the reaction is -6312 kJ/mol.
