An analytical chemist is titrating 118.3 mL of a 0.3500 M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H7CO2) with a 0.400 M solution of KOH. T

he pKa of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 115.4 mL of the solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of KOH the solution plus the volume of solution added. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

pH = 12.33

Explanation:

Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.

The titration reaction is

HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

number of moles of HA :   118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA

number of  moles of OH  : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L  = 0.046 mol A⁻

therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is  the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.

n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH

pOH = - log (KOH)

M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M

pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66

pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33

Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.

Consider the following voltaic cell:(j) In which direction do anions within the salt bridge move to maintain charge neutrality?
aniked [119]

In order to maintain neutrality, the negatively charged ions in the salt bridge will migrate into the anodic half-cell. A similar (but reversed) situation is found in the cathodic cell.

<h3>What purpose does a salt bridge serve in an oxidation process?</h3>

Anions (negatively charged particles) are added to the solution of the oxidation half of the cell by the salt bridge, and cations (positively charged particles) are added to the solution of the reduction half of the reaction. 

<h3>What purpose does the salt bridge serve in a galvanic cell?</h3>

For instance, KCl, AgNO3, etc. In a galvanic cell, such as a voltaic cell or Daniel cell, salt bridges are typically used. A salt bridge's primary job is to assist in preserving the electrical neutrality of the internal circuit. Additionally, it aids in keeping the cell's response from reaching equilibrium.

What relationship does Avogadro's law describe?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

D. The relationship between volume and moles

Explanation:

Amedo Avogadro found the relationship between the volume of a gas and the number of molecules contained in the volume.

The law states that "equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains the same number of molecules or moles".

Mathematically:

                         V ∝ n (P,T constant)

El ácido sulfúrico H2SO4 es uno de los compuestos que se utiliza para la producción de fertilizantes como el nitrosulfato amónico. Si disponemos de 8 mL de H2SO4 al 37 %P/P (d=1,26 g /mL), los cuales se disolvieron hasta alcanzar un volumen de solución de 400 mL, con una densidad de 1,08 g/mL. (La densidad del soluto es corresponde a 1,83 g/cm³)
