You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH 4.00 buffer solution using 0.100 M benzoic acid (p K a = 4.20 ) and 0.220 M sodium benzoate

. How many milliliters of each solution should be mixed to prepare this buffer?

Answer:

34.5 mL

Explanation:

Given, we ned to prepared buffer solution with pH = 4.00 , volume = 100.0 mL .

[C6H5COOH] = 0.100 M , [C6H5COO-] = 0.120 M , pKa = 4.20

First we need to calculate the ratio of the conjugate base and acid

We know, Henderson Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log [C6H5COO-] /[C6H5COOH]

4.00 = 4.20 + log [C6H5COO-] /[C6H5COOH]

log [C6H5COO-] /[C6H5COOH] = 4.00-4.20

= - 0.20

Antilog from both side

[C6H5COO-] /[C6H5COOH] = 0.631

Now we are given the molarity of each acid and its conjugate base and we need to calculate for volume

Sum of volume = 100 mL = 0.100 L

volume of benzoic acid = x

volume of benzoate = 0.10 -x ,

so Volume of acid + volume of conjugate base = 0.100 L

[C6H5COO-] /[C6H5COOH] = 0.631

[C6H5COO-] = 0.631 * [C6H5COOH]

0.120 (0.1-x) = 0.631 *0.100x

So, x = 0.065

So, volume of benzoic acid = x = 0.0655 L

= 65.5 mL

So, volume of sodium benzoate = 0.1 -x

= 0.1-0.0655

= 0.0345 L

= 34.5 mL

So we need to mix 65.5 mL of 0.100 M benzoic acid and 34.5 mL of 0.120 M sodium benzoate form 100.0 mL of a pH=4.00 buffer solution.

Answer:

Volume benzoic acid= 77.74 mL  

Volume sodium benzoate: = 22.26 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 100.0 mL

pH = 4.00

Molarity benzoic acid = 0.100 M

pKa benzoic acid = 4.20

Molarity sodium benzoate = 0.220 M

Step 2

pH = pKa + log([base]/[acid])

4 = 4.2 + log([base]/[acid])

-0.2 = log([base]/[acid])

10^-0.2 = [base]/[acid]  

0.63 =  [base]/[acid]  

Step 3

start with 100 mL 0.1 M benzoic acid

0.100 L* 0.1M = 0.01 moles.  

Since base/acid = 0.63, add 0.63*0.01 moles base = 0.0063 moles base.

And 0.0063 moles of a 0.22 M salt solution are x mL:

0.22 moles = 1000 mL

1 mole = 1000/0.22 mL

0.0063 moles = 1000*0.0063/0.22 mL = 28.63 mL .

So a mixture of 100 mL 0.1 M bencoic acid + 28.63 mL of 0.22 benzoate has pH =4.00

Step 4: For a total volume of 100 mL we'll have:

Volume benzoic acid: 100*100/(128.63) = 77.74 mL  

Volume sodium benzoate: 28.63*100/(128.63) = 22.26 mL

A compound is 53. 31% c, 11. 18% h, and 35. 51% o by mass. What is its empirical formula? insert subscripts as needed.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

C2H5O

Explanation:

In a 100 g sample we would have

53.31 g of C

11.18g of H

35.51g of O

First, we find the relative number of atoms of each element by dividing the number of grams the element has in the compound by its atomic mass.

Atomic mass of carbon is 12.011

Relative number of carbon atoms = 53.31 / 12.011 = 4.4

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.007

Relative number of hydrogen atoms : 11.18/1.007 = 11.1

Atomic mass of oxygen : 15.999

Relative number of oxygen atoms : 35.51 / 15.999 = 2.2


Now we find a ratio of the relative number of atoms by dividing the # of relative atoms of each element by the element's relative number of atoms that had the lowest number. ( oxygen which had 2.2 ) The outcome of each will be the subscript or number of atoms of each element.

Carbon : 4.4 / 2.2 = 2

Hydrogen : 11.1 / 2.2 = 5

Oxygen : 2.2 / 2.2 = 1

The answer is C2H5O
