An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.


Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]

moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles

moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles

pKa of phenol = 9.98

We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula

pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46

Hydrogen iodide decomposes slowly to H2 and I2 at 600 K. The reaction is second order in HI, and the rate constant is 9.7×10−6M−
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer : The molarity after a reaction time of 5.00 days is, 0.109 M

Explanation :

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)

where,

k = rate constant = 9.7\times 10^{-6}M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time taken  = 5.00 days

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = ?

[A]_o = Initial concentration = 0.110 M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

9.7\times 10^{-6}=\frac{1}{5.00}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{(0.110)}\right)

[A]=0.109M

Hence, the molarity after a reaction time of 5.00 days is, 0.109 M

Explain the three types of cumbusion ??​
Alik [6]

Answer:

Complete Combustion

One of the types of combustion is Complete Combustion. Complete combustion occurs in an unlimited supply of air, oxygen in particular. Also, complete combustion is also known as clean combustion. Here the hydrocarbon will burn out completely with the oxygen and leave only two byproducts, water, and carbon dioxide.

An example of this is when a candle burns. The heat from the wick will vaporize the wax which reacts with the oxygen in the air. The two products of the reaction are water and carbon dioxide. In an ideal situation all the wax burns up and complete combustion takes place

2] Incomplete Combustion

Incomplete combustion takes place when the air is in limited supply. And as opposed to complete combustion it is otherwise known as dirty combustion. Due to lack of oxygen, the fuel will not react completely. This, in turn, produces carbon monoxide and soot instead of carbon dioxide.

An example is burning of paper. It leaves behind ash (a form of soot) as a byproduct. In a complete combustion, the only products are water and carbon dioxide. Also, incomplete combustion produces less energy than complete combustion.

3] Rapid Combustion

Another type of combustion is Rapid Combustion. Rapid energy needs external heat energy for the reaction to occur. The combustion produces a large amount of heat and light energy and does so rapidly. The combustion will carry on as long as the fuel is available.

An example is when you light a candle. The heat energy is provided when we light the candle with a matchstick. And it will carry on till the wax burns out. Hence it is a rapid combustion

4] Spontaneous Combustion

As the name suggests the combustion occurs spontaneously. This means that it requires no external energy for the combustion to start. It happens due to self-heating. A substance with low-ignition temperatures gets heated and this heat is unable to escape.

The temperature rises above ignition point and in the presence of sufficient oxygen combustion will happen. The reaction of alkali metals with water is an example.

5] Explosive Combustion

Explosive Combustion happens when the reaction occurs very rapidly. The reaction occurs when something ignites to produce heat, light and sound energy, The simple way to describe is it to call it an explosion. Some classic examples are firecrackers or blowing up of dynamite.

How does 0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution compare to 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180) solution?
mash [69]

Answer : Both solutions contain 3.011 X 10^{23} molecules.

Explanation : The number of molecules of 0.5 M of sucrose is equal to the number of molecules in 0.5 M of glucose. Both solutions contain 3.011 x 10^{23} molecules.

Avogadro's Number is  N_{A} =  6.022 X 10^{23} which represents particles per mole and particles may be typically molecules, atoms, ions, electrons, etc.

Here, only molarity values are given; where molarity is a measurement of concentration in terms of moles of the solute per liter of solvent.

Since each substance has the same concentration, 0.5 M, each will have the same number of molecules present per liter of solution.

Addition of molar mass for individual substance is not needed. As if both are considered in 1 Liter they would have same moles which is 0.5.

We can calculate the number of molecules for each;

Number of molecules  = N_{A} X M;

∴  Number of molecules =  6.022 X 10^{23} X 0.5 mol/L X 1 L which will be  = 3.011 X 10^{23}

Thus, these solutions compare to each other in that they have not only the same concentration, but they will have the same number of solvated sugar molecules. But the mass of glucose dissolved will be less than the mass of sucrose.
