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

Which of the following samples had the lowest average kinetic energy?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B. 10 mL of Cabr2(aq) at 35 degrees celsius

Explanation:

The colder something is the more the atoms are compressed together; atoms can't move as much. 35 degrees is the warmest option, so it makes the most sense.

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction 3H2 + N2<----->2NH3. In this reaction, the product absorbs heat. WHICH WAY WILL
AURORKA [14]

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction,the reaction shifts forward.

The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased,then the equilibrium will shift to decrease the temperature.

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is decreased,then the equilibrium will shift to increase the temperature.

During the formation of the ammonia,it gives off heat.So it is an exothermic reaction.

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

A decrease in the temperature favors the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction)because it produces energy.Therefore,if the temperature is decreased,the yield of the ammonia increases.

<em>Therefore if the temperature is increased,the reaction shifts forward and the yield of the ammonia increases and it is an exothermic reaction.</em>
