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>

Solid iron(III) hydroxide decomposes to produce iron(III) oxide and water vapor. If 0.75 L of water vapor is produced at STP, ho
MaRussiya [10]
The reaction is 2Fe(OH)3 --> Fe2O3 + 3H2O, so the mole ratio of iron (III) hydroxide to water is 2 to 3, or 0.667. That means you need 0.667 moles of iron(III) hydroxide for every mole of water that forms. 

<span>You are missing some info. You need the volume of the water vapor. At STP, 1 Liter of gas contains 22.4 moles, so you can find the moles of water vapor once you know the volume of the water vapor in Liters. </span>

<span>Then, mulitply moles of water by 0.667 to find moles of iron (III) hydroxide used. Finally, multiply by the molar mass of iron (III) hydroxide to find the mass in grams.</span>

g How many grams of beryllium are needed to produce "11.5" g of hydrogen gas?Be(s) + 2H 2 O(l) → Be(OH) 2 (aq) + H 2 (g)
slega [8]

Answer:

m_{Be}=51.3gBe

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, with the given chemical reaction:

Be(s) + 2H_2 O(l) \rightarrow Be(OH)_ 2 (aq) + H _2 (g)

We can notice a 1:1 mole ratio between hydrogen gas and beryllium metal, therefore, beryllium requirement is computed as shown below:

m_{Be}=11.5gH_2*\frac{1molH_2}{2.02gH_2} *\frac{1molBe}{1molH_2} *\frac{9.01gBe}{1molBe}\\ \\m_{Be}=51.3gBe

Regards.
