Answer :
(1) pH = 1.27
(2) pH = 13.35
(3) The given solution is not a buffer.
Explanation :
<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>
Concentration of HCl = 
As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.
So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>
Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M
As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.
So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
![pOH=-\log [OH^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BOH%5E-%5D)
Now we have to calculate the pH.
<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>
Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.
It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.
As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.
So, the given solution is not a buffer.
Answer:
The oxidation state of N in the KNO3 is +5
Explanation:
Oxidation rules:
1. Oxygen is -2, unless in peroxides.
2. Group 1 metals = +1
3. Group 2 metals = +2
4. If the molecule is neutral, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to zero.
5. If the molecule is charged, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to the charge of the molecule.
So, the given formula represents the salt compound formula unit of potassium nitrate: KNO3
The formula unit is uncharged.
From our rules, we know that,
O = -2
And we can find K on the periodic table, in the first group, thus giving it a +1 charge. Now let's put it all together.
K = +1
N = x
O = -2
Let's take into account the number of atoms of each element we have and make an equation since we know everything has to add up to zero since the molecules are neutral.
+1 +x+3 (-2) = 0 (notice we multiplied 3 by -2 because in the formula we have 3 atoms of oxygen with -2 charge each)
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in KNO3 is +5.
Answer:
T2 = 94.6 C
Explanation:
Use Clausius-Clayperyon equation.
ln P1/P2 = ∆Hvap/R (1/T2 - 1/T1) where R = 8.314 J/mol-K and T is in degrees K
P1 = 760 mmHg
P2 = 630 mmHg
T1 = 373 K
T2 = ?
∆Hvap = 40.7 kJ/mole
R = 0.008314 kJ/mole-K (NOTE: change R to units of kJ)
Plug in and solve for T2
ln 760 mmHg/630 mmHg = 40.7 kJ/mole (1/T2 - 1/373K)
T2 = 367.74 K = 94.6 C
Answer: The correct answer is A. Hydrogen and chlorine need to be balanced. There's an equal amount of magnesium on each side.
