A 0.5895-g sample of impure magnesium hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 mL of 0.2050 M HCl solution. The excess acid then needs 19

.85 mL of 0.1020 M NaOH for neutralization. Calculate the percent by mass of magnesium hydroxide in the sample, assuming that it is the only substance reacting with the HCl solution. (Can some please show all the steps to this with the answer? I’m completely lost).

Answer:

91.38 %

Explanation:

First we use the following formula to calculate the number of moles of HCl and NaOH contained in the solutions:

molar concentration = number of moles / solution volume

number of moles = molar concentration × solution volume

number of moles of HCl = 0.2050 × 100 = 20.5 mmoles

number of moles of NaOH = 0.1020 × 19.85 = 2.02 mmoles

reaction between NaOH and HCl:

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

If 2.02 mmoles of NaOH were used for neutralization of HCl left from the reaction, which are 2.02 mmoles of HCl, it means that the HCl reacted with Mg(OH)₂:

20.5 - 2.02 = 18.48 mmoles of HCl

2 HCl + Mg(OH)₂ = MgCl₂ + 2 H₂O

From the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if       2 mmoles of HCl react with 1 mmole of Mg(OH)₂

then  18.48 mmoles HCl react with X mmoles of Mg(OH)₂

X = (18.48 × 1) / 2 = 9.24 mmoles of Mg(OH)₂

now the mass of Mg(OH)₂:

mass = number of moles × molecular weight

mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 9.24 × 58.3 = 538.7 mg = 0.5387 g

Now the percent by mass of magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)₂ in the impure sample (purity):

purity = (mass of pure Mg(OH)₂ / mass of impure sample) × 100

purity = (0.5387 / 0.5895) × 100

purity = 91.38 %

Consider the titration of 100.0 mL of 0.280 M propanoic acid (Ka = 1.3 ✕ 10−5) with 0.140 M NaOH. Calculate the pH of the result
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

(a) 2.7

(b) 4.44

(c) 4.886

(d) 5.363

(e) 5.570

(f)  12.30

Explanation:

Here we have the titration of a weak acid with the strong base NaOH. So in part (a) simply calculate the pH of a weak acid ; in the other parts we have to consider that a buffer solution will be present after some of the weak acid reacts completely the strong base producing the conjugate base. We may even arrive to the situation in which all of the acid will be just consumed and have only  the weak base present in the solution treating it as the pOH and the pH = 14 -pOH. There is also the possibility that all of the weak base will be consumed and then the NaOH will drive the pH.

Lets call HA propanoic acid and A⁻ its conjugate base,

(a) pH = -log √ (HA) Ka =-log √(0.28 x 1.3 x 10⁻⁵) = 2.7

(b) moles reacted HA = 50 x 10⁻³ L x 0.14 mol/L = 0.007 mol

mol left HA = 0.28 - 0.007 = 0.021

mol A⁻ produced = 0.007

Using the Hasselbalch-Henderson equation for buffer solutions:

pH = pKa + log ((A⁻/)/(HA)) = -log (1.3 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.007/0.021)= 4.89 + (-0.48) = 4.44

(c) = mol HA reacted = 0.100 L x 0.14 mol/L = 0.014 mol

mol HA left = 0.028 -0.014 = 0.014 mol

mol A⁻ produced = 0.014

pH = -log (1.3 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.014/0.014) =  4.886

(d) mol HA reacted = 150 x 10⁻³ L  x  x 0.14 mol/L = 0.021 mol

mol HA left = 0.028 - 0.021 = 0.007

mol A⁻ produced = 0.021

pH = -log (1.3 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.021/0.007) =  5.363

(e) mol HA reacted = 200 x 10⁻³ L x 0.14 mol/L = 0.028 mol

mol HA left = 0

Now we only a weak base present and its pH is given by:

pH  = √(kb x (A⁻)  where Kb= Kw/Ka

Notice that here we will have to calculate the concentration of A⁻ because we have dilution effects the moment we added to the 100 mL of HA,  200 mL of NaOH 0.14 M. (we did not need to concern ourselves before with this since the volumes cancelled each other in the previous formulas)

mol A⁻ = 0.028 mOl

Vol solution = 100 mL + 200 mL = 300 mL

(A⁻) = 0.028 mol /0.3 L = 0.0093 M

and we also need to calculate the Kb for the weak base:

Kw = 10⁻¹⁴ = ka Kb ⇒   Kb = 10⁻¹⁴/1.3x 10⁻⁵ = 7.7 x 10⁻ ¹⁰

pH = -log (√( 7.7 x 10⁻ ¹⁰ x 0.0093) = 5.570

(f) Treat this part as a calculation of the pH of a strong base

moles of OH = 0.250 L x 0.14 mol = 0.0350 mol

mol OH remaining = 0.035 mol - 0.028 reacted with HA

= 0.007 mol

(OH⁻) = 0.007 mol / 0.350 L = 2.00 x 10 ⁻²

pOH = - log (2.00 x 10⁻²) = 1.70

pH = 14 - 1.70 = 12.30

An elimination reaction can best be described as a reaction in which an elimination reaction can best be described as a reaction
tresset_1 [31]
So I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking but I’m going to give it a go. The elimination reaction is a term used in organic chemistry that describes a type of reactions. The name kinda tells you what’s going to happen. Something is going to be removed/eliminated from initial reactant/substrate and as a result, an alkene (double bond containing compound) will form.

In elimination reactions a hydrogen atom is first removed (as a H+) from the beta carbon. As a result, the left behind electrons create a pi bond between the beta carbon and the neighboring alpha carbon. This promotes the electronegative atom, on the alpha carbon, to leaves the substrate taking both electrons from the shared sigma bond with the alpha carbon.
