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

5.0 g of NaCl is dissolved in water, and the solution is brought to a final volume of 150 mL. What is the molarity of this solut
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Molarity is a sort of concentration for solutions. When you talk about it, means mols of solute, that are in 1000 ml of solution. The molarity at this is 0.57M

Explanation:

As you have the solution in a volume of 150ml with 5 g of solute, in 1000 ml how much solute, do u have? The answer is 33.333g so now, you have to take the molar mass of NaCl and get the mols. Mass/molar mass, you will get the moles, so 33,3333 g / 58,44 g/m is 0.570 moles. That's M

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Sound waves required a medium.

Explanation:

In space, there is only vacuum hence no any medium for sound wave travel.

Since sound waves are mechanical waves, they require a material medium such as air, hence no sound transmission.

How many moles of silicon are in 5.9 X 10 to the 24 power atoms of silicon​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

9.79740949850 moles

Explanation:

  • 1 mole = Avogardo's Number <<6.022 E 23 <<particles, atoms, etc.>>
  • This problem can be solved using dimensional analysis by multiplying atoms (5.9E24 atoms) by (1) mole and then dividing the number by Avogardo's number (6.022 E 23 atoms).
  • Note: E = * 10

Side Note: Please let me know if you need any clarifications about this!

How do I draw energy level diagrams?
finlep [7]

Energy levels inside an atom are the specific energies that electrons can have when energy occupies specific orbitals. Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings, an equivalent light is emitted when an electron returns from a high energy state to a lower one. Representation of this diagrammatic is known as the energy level diagram.
