You are asked to prepare a pH=4.00 buffer starting from 1.50 L of 0.0200 M solution of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) and an excess of

sodium benzoate (C6H5COONa). You may want to reference (Pages 721 - 728) Section 17.2 while completing this problem. Part A What is the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate?

Answer:

pH = 2.96

Explanation:

C6H5COOH ↔ C6H5COO- + H3O+

∴ Ka = 6.5 E-5 = [H3O+][C6H5COO-] / [C6H5COOH]

C6H5COONa → C6H5COO- + Na+

prior to adding C6H5COONa:

⇒<em> C</em> C6H5COONa = 0 M = [Na+]

∴ mass balance:

⇒ <em>C</em> C6H5COOH = [C6H5COOH] + [C6H5COO-] = 0.0200 M

⇒ [C6H5COOH] = 0.0200 - [C6H5COO-]

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] = [C6H5COO-]

⇒ [C6H5COOH] = 0.0200 - [H3O+]

⇒ Ka = [H3O+]² / (0.0200 - [H3O+]) = 6.5 E-5

⇒ [H3O+]² + 6.5 E-5[H3O+] - 1.3 E-6 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 1.108 E-3 M

∴ pH = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ pH = 2.9554 = 2.96

Gallium is produced by the electrolysis of a solution made by dissolving gallium oxide in concentrated NaOH ( aq ) . Calculate t

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Approximately $6.30\times 10^{-3}\;\rm mol$ .

Explanation:

The gallium here is likely to be produced from a $\rm NaGaO_2\, (aq)$ solution using electrolysis. However, the problem did not provide a chemical equation for that process. How many electrons will it take to produce one mole of gallium?

Note the Roman Numeral " $\mathtt{(III)}$ " next to $\rm Ga$ . This numeral indicates that the oxidation state of the gallium in this solution is equal to $+3$ . In other words, each gallium atom is three electrons short from being neutral. It would take three electrons to reduce one of these atoms to its neutral, metallic state in the form of $\rm Ga\, (s)$ .

As a result, it would take three moles of electrons to deposit one mole of gallium atoms from this gallium $\mathtt{(III)}$ solution.

How many electrons are supplied? Start by finding the charge on all the electrons in the unit coulomb. Make sure all values are in their standard units.

$t = \rm 80.0\; min = 80.0\; min \times 60\;s \cdot min^{-1} = 4800\; s$ .

$Q = I \cdot t = \rm 0.380 \; A \times 4800 \; s = 1.824\times 10^3\; C$ .

Calculate the number of electrons in moles using the Faraday's constant. This constant gives the size of the charge (in coulombs) on each mole of electrons.

$\begin{aligned} n(\text{electrons}) &= \frac{Q}{F} \cr &= \rm \dfrac{1.824\times 10^3\; C}{96485.332\; C \cdot mol^{-1}}\cr &\approx \rm 1.89\times 10^{-2}\; mol \end{aligned}$ .

It takes three moles of electrons to deposit one mole of gallium atoms $\rm Ga\, (s)$ . As a result, $\rm 1.89\times 10^{-2}\; mol$ of electrons would deposit $\displaystyle \rm \frac{1}{3}\times 1.89\times 10^{-2}\; mol \approx 6.30\times 10^{-3}\; mol$ of gallium atoms $\rm Ga\, (s)$ .

Lead(II) nitrate is added slowly to a solution that is 0.0800 M in Cl− ions. Calculate the concentration of Pb2+ ions (in mol /

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$

this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

Explanation:

$PbCl_2$ ⇄ $Pb^{2+}+2Cl^-$

Precipitation starts when ionic product is greater than solubility product.

Ip>Ksp

Precipitation starts only when solution is supersaturated because solution become supersaturated then it does not stay in this form and precipitation starts itself only solution become saturated.

This usually happens when two solutions containing separate sources of cation and anion are mixed together and here also we are mixing lead (||)nitrate solution(source of lead(||)) into the Cl- solution.

$Ip=[Pb^{2}][2Cl^-]^2=Ksp$

$Ksp=2.4\times 10^{-4}$

lets solubility=S

$[Pb^{2+}] = S$

$[Cl^-]=2S$

$Ksp=[Pb^{2+}]\times [Cl^-]^2$

$Ksp=S \times (2S)^2$

$Ksp=4S^3$

$S=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Ksp}{4} }$

$S=3.9\times 10^{-2}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$ this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation
