To solve this problem, we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation which relates the pH to the measure of acidity pKa. The equation is given as:<span>

<span>pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid])                ---> 1</span></span>

Where,

[base] = concentration of C2H3O2 in molarity or moles

<span>[acid] = concentration of  HC2H3O2 in molarity or moles</span>

 

For the sake of easy calculation, let us assume that:

[base] = 1

[acid] = x

<span>
Therefore using equation 1,
4.24 = 4.74 + log (1 / x) 

<span>log (1 / x) = - 0.5

1 / x = 0.6065 </span></span>

x = 1.65<span>

The required ratio of C2H3O2 /HC2H3O2 <span>is 1:1.65 or 3:5. </span></span>

The combustion of 14 grams of co according to the reaction co(g) ½o2(g) co2(g) 67.6 kcal gives off how much heat?
Irina18 [472]
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide is expressed co(g)+ ½o2(g) <span>→ </span>co2(g). The heat of combustion is 67.6 kcal per mole CO. We are given with 14 grams CO. Convert this to mole equal to 0.5 mole. Hence the total heat is 33.8 kcal.

If 20.0 mL of Ca(OH)2 with an unknown concentration is neutralized by 37.5 mL of 0.124 M HCl, what is the concentration of the C
Nady [450]
You first need to write the balanced chemical reaction for what is going on.
Ca(OH)₂+2HCl→2H₂O+CaCl₂

After you make the balanced chemical reaction, First you find the moles of HCl used.  To do this multiply 0.0375L by 0.124M to get 0.00465mol HCl.  Then you multiply 0.00465mol HCl by (1mol Ca(OH)₂)/(2mol HCl) to get 0.002325mol Ca(OH)₂.  Finally to find concentration of Ca(OH)₂ used you divide 0.002325mol by 0.020L to get 0.116M Ca(OH)₂.
Therefore the concentration of the unknown solution of Ca(OH)₂ was 0.116M.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

How do you know if your hypothesis is supported by your results or not?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Your hypothesis is an educated guess of what the end results of an experiment will be, using what you already know about your experiment you are going to conduct. So when you receive your final results, if your hypothesis is correct, or even somewhat correct then you know that it is supported by your results. For example, if I were to conduct the Coca-Cola and Mentos experiment, I could make a hypothesis that the Coca-Cola will have a bigger eruption when I add more than one Mento to the bottle due to a higher amount of a chemical with the addition of each mento. When I receive my results that the eruption was bigger each time, I know that my results supported my hypothesis.
