Write reaction showing how each of the buffers would neutralize added naoh. hcho2 and nacho2

1 answer:

3 0

The acid-base neutralization reaction between formic acid (HCHO2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is

HCHO2(aq) + NaOH(s) --> NaCHO2(aq) + H2O(l)

Formic acid is a weak acid. So, the salt formed here is a basic salt, NaCHO2 or Sodium Formate. A buffer solution is when the system contains either a weak acid and its conjugate strong base or a weak base and its conjugate strong acid. In this case, formic acid is the weak base, while sodium formate is the conjugate strong base. So, this is a buffer system. By definition, a buffer resists pH changes with small addition of either a base or an acid. So, when NaOH is added, it would produce more of sodium formate. As long as formic acid is not depleted, the buffer system would be stable.

Answer: 1. $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles

2. 90 mg

Explanation:

$O_3(g)+2NaI(aq)+H_2O(l) \rightarrow O_2(g)+I_2(s)+2NaOH(aq)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $4.54 \times 10^{-6}$ moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 4.54 \times 10^{-6}=9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide are needed to remove $4.54\times 10^{-6}$ moles of $O_3$

2. $\text{Number of moles of ozone}=\frac{0.01331g}{48g/mol}=0.0003moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus 0.0003 moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0003=0.0006$ moles of sodium iodide.

Mass of sodium iodide= $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0006\times 150g/mol=0.09g=90mg$ (1g=1000mg)

Thus 90 mg of sodium iodide are needed to remove 13.31 mg of $O_3$ .

How does induced transmutation produce trans uranium elements ?

kifflom [539]

Answer: Artificial transmutation may occur in machinery that has enough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements. This releases, on average, 3 neutrons and a large amount of energy. The released neutrons then cause fission of other uranium atoms, until all of the available uranium is exhausted.
