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

1. Which liquid sample is a pure substance?
IRISSAK [1]

The whole Activity , poem and paragraph is missing in the question.

Answer:

(1) Liquid A

(2) Solid A

Explanation:

Using this part of the given poem

Substances and mixtures behave differently,

During boiling and melting most especially

Boiling point of substance is fixed while mixture is not

Substance melts completely but mixture does not

The boiling point of the Pure substance remain fixed after reaching its boiling point this is shown by Liquid A

Solid A is melting completely so Solid A is a pure substance.

26 Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:4Al(s) + 3O2(g) ==> Al2O3(s)
dsp73
(2) gains 12 moles of electrons, easy, because it must retain the same mass in a balanced equation, so if there is no exterior mention of any electrons, such as the notation +12e-, than we must assume that the Oxygen took it at any rate.
