Answer:
9.1 mol
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:
CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)
According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).
To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;
mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol
mole = 36.7/2.02
mole = 18.17mol
This means that if;
2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH
18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;
18.17 × 1 / 2
= 18.17/2
= 9.085
Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).
The HCl added = 1.25 moles
and the moles of Na2HPO4 = 1 mole
Now when acid is added in the given solution of Na2HPO4
One mole of H+ will react with one mole of Na2HPO4 to given one mole of NaH2PO4
Na2HPO4 + H+ ---> NaH2PO4
Now this one mole formed NaH2PO4 will further react with 0.25 moles of H+ left to form 0.25 moles of H3PO4 and 0.75 moles of NaH2PO4 will remain in the solution
So this will result into formation of a buffer of phosphoric acid and NaH2PO4
NaH2PO4 + H+ ---> H3PO4
pKa of H3PO4 = 2.1
so pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] = 2.1 + log [0.75 / 0.25] = 2.58
so the pH will be in between 2.1 to 7.2
Answer:
Solvents are substances in which solutes dissolves while solutes are substances that dissolve in solvents and solutions result from mixing solvents and solutes.
Explanation:
- A solvent is a substance such as water that dissolves a solute.
- A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. For example, when sodium chloride dissolves in water, sodium chloride is the solute and water is the solvent.
- A solution, on the other hand, results from combining a solute and a solvent. Therefore, a mixture of water and sodium chloride forms the solution.
