Answer:

pH = 3.70

Explanation:

Moles of aniline in solution are:

0.0500L × (0.0350mol / 1L) = <em>1.750x10⁻³ mol aniline</em>

Aniline is in equilibrium with water, thus:

C₆H₅NH₂ + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 3.8x10⁻¹⁰

HCl reacts with aniline thus:

HCl + C₆H₅NH₂ → C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

At equivalence point, all aniline reacts producing  C₆H₅NH₃⁺.  C₆H₅NH₃⁺ has its own equilibrium with water thus:

C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Where Ka is defined as:

Ka = [C₆H₅NH₂] [H₃O⁺] / [C₆H₅NH₃⁺] = Kw / Kb = 1.0x10⁻¹⁴ / 3.8x10⁻¹⁰ = <em>2.63x10⁻⁵ </em><em>(1)</em>

<em />

As all aniline reacts producing C₆H₅NH₃⁺, moles in equilibrium are:

[C₆H₅NH₃⁺] = 1.750x10⁻³ mol - X

[C₆H₅NH₂] = X

[H₃O⁺] = X

Replacing in (1):

2.63x10⁻⁵ =  [X] [X] / [1.750x10⁻³ mol - X]

4.6x10⁻⁸ - 2.63x10⁻⁵X = X²

0 = X² + 2.63x10⁻⁵X - 4.6x10⁻⁸

Solving for X:

X = -2.3x10⁻⁴ → False answer, there is no negative concentrations

X = 2.0x10⁻⁴ → Right answer

As [H₃O⁺] = X, [H₃O⁺] = 2.0x10⁻⁴.

Now, pH = -log[H₃O⁺]. Thus, pH at equivalence point is:

<em>pH = 3.70</em>

Fed [463]

Answer:

T2 = 94.6 C

Explanation:

Use Clausius-Clayperyon equation.

ln P1/P2 = ∆Hvap/R (1/T2 - 1/T1) where R = 8.314 J/mol-K and T is in degrees K

P1 = 760 mmHg

P2 = 630 mmHg  

T1 = 373 K

T2 = ?

∆Hvap = 40.7 kJ/mole

R = 0.008314 kJ/mole-K (NOTE: change R to units of kJ)

Plug in and solve for T2

ln 760 mmHg/630 mmHg = 40.7 kJ/mole (1/T2 - 1/373K)

T2 = 367.74 K = 94.6 C

An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.Into which family you shall place elements with atomic number 17 and 19 and why?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.

The element with atomic number 19 will have one extra electron so it can donate one electron or shed one electron to attain noble gas configuration .

It tends to shed one electron to become positively charged ion . Hence they are electro-positive elements .  

Similarly the element with atomic number 17 will have one short  electron so it can gain  one electron  to attain noble gas configuration .

They  tend to gain  one electron to become negatively charged ion . Hence they are electro-negative  elements . They have high  electronegativity .
