Gaining of electrons is reduction and loss of electrons is oxidation.

Hope this helped! :)

A 25.0 mL solution of 0.100 M CH3COOH is titrated with a 0.200 M KOH solution. Calculate the pH after the following additions of

zaharov [31]

Answer:

a) pH = 2.88

b) pH = 4.598

c) pH = 5.503

d) pH = 8.788

e) pH = 12.097

Explanation:

CH3COOH ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+

∴ Ka = 1.75 E-5 = [H3O+]*[CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]

a) 0.0 mL KOH:

mass balance:

⇒ C CH3COOH = [CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-] = 0.100 M

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] = [CH3COO-]

⇒ 1.75 E-5 = [H3O+]²/(0.100 - [H3O+])

⇒ [H3O+]² + 1.75 E-5[H3O+] - 1.75 E-6 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 1.314 E.3 M

∴ pH = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ pH = 2.88

b) 5.0 mL KOH:

CH3COOH + KOH ↔ CH3COONa + H2O

∴ C CH3COOH = ((0.025)(0.100) - (5 E-3)(0.200))/(0.025+5 E-3)

⇒ C CH3COOH = 0.05 M

∴ C KOH = ((5 E-3)(0,200))/(0.025+5 E-3) = 0.033 M

mass balance:

⇒ C CH3COOH + C KOH = [CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-] = 0.05 + 0.033 = 0.083 M

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] + [K+] = [CH3COO-]

⇒ [CH3COO-] = [H3O+] + 0.033

⇒ 1.75 E-5 = ([H3O+]*([H3O+] + 0.033))/(0.083 - ([H3O+] + 0.033))

⇒ 1.75 E-3 = ([H3O+]² + 0.033[H3O+])/(0.05 - [H3O+])

⇒ 8.75 E-7 - 1.75 E-5[H3O+] = [H3O+]² + 0.033[H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+]² +0.03302[H3O+] - 8.75 E-7 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 2.523 E-5 M

⇒ pH = 4.598

equivalent point:

(C*V)acid = (C*V)base

⇒ (0.100 M)*(0.025 L) = (0.200 M)( Vbase)

⇒ Vbase = 0.0125L = 12.5 mL

c) 10.0 mL KOH:

∴ C CH3COOH = 0.0143 M

∴ C KOH = 0.057 M

as in the previous point, starting from the mass and charge balances, we obtain:

⇒ [H3O+] = 3.1386 E-6 M

⇒ pH = 5.503

d) 12.5 mL KOH:

at the equivalence point, there is complete salt formation, then the pH is calculated through the salt:

CH3COO- + H2O ↔ CH3COOH - OH-

∴ Kw/Ka = 1 E-14/1.75 E-5 = 5.714 E-10 = [CH3COOH]*[OH-]/[CH3COO-]

∴ [CH3COO-] = (0.025)(0.100))/(0.025+0.0125) = 0.066 M

mass balance:

⇒ 0.066 = [CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-]..........(1)

charge balance:

⇒ [K+] = [OH-] + [CH3COO-] = 0.066 M.........(2)

∴ [K+] = C CH3COO- = 0.066 M

(1) = (2):

⇒ [OH-] = [CH3COOH].......(3)

⇒ 5.714 E-10 = [OH-]² / (0.066 - [OH-])

⇒ [OH-]² + 5.714 E-10[OH-] - 3.7712 E-11 = 0

⇒ [OH-] = 6.1408 e-6 m

⇒ pOH = 5.212

⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 8.788

d) 15.0 mL KOH:

after the equivalence point there is salt and excess base (OH-); ph is calculated from excess base:

⇒ C KOH = ((0.015)(0.200) - (0.025)(0.100)) / (0.025 + 0.015) = 0.0125 M

⇒ [OH-] ≅ C KOH = 0.0125 M

⇒ pOH = 1.903

⇒ pH = 12.097

Please balance the equation, putting the correct coefficient in each box.

Mariulka [41]

Answer: $Bi(OH)_3+3HNO_3\rightarrow 3H_2O+Bi(NO_3)_3$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced equation will be:

$Bi(OH)_3+3HNO_3\rightarrow 3H_2O+Bi(NO_3)_3$

All the bases are not alkali why

Vanyuwa [196]

Alkali are soluble bases, however not all bases are soluble in water, therefore not all bases are Alkali.

Why is gas compressible??

tekilochka [14]

Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. Hope this helped!
