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.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

3.50*10^-11 mol3 dm-9

Explanation:

A silver rod and a SHE are dipped into a saturated aqueous solution of silver oxalate, Ag2C2O4, at 25°C. The measured potential difference between the rod and the SHE is 0.5812 V, the rod being positive. Calculate the solubility product constant for silver oxalate.

Ag2C2O4 -->  2Ag+  +  C2O4 2-

So Ksp = [Ag+]^2 * [C2O42-]

In 1 L, 2.06*10^-4 mol of silver oxalate dissolve, giving, the same number of mol of oxalate ions, and twice the number of mol (4.12*10^-4) of silver ions.

So Ksp = (4.12*10^-4)^2 * (2.06*10^-4)

= 3.50*10^-11 mol3 dm-9

A client with a long history of cigarette smoking and poorly controlled hypertension is
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

It may be a hemorrhagic stroke because of the patient's history.

Explanation:

Uncontrolled hypertension could generate a hemorrhagic stroke within the brain generating the sign of progressive dementia, this is due to the vessel breaking due to the excess pressure of the internal light, it breaks and releases or extravases all the bloody contents to the brain

The difficulty of this is that the brain is the one that yields to a force in relation to the skull, that is why it is compressible against hemorrhage generating these signs as progressive dementia and could even be death or vegetative state

Murphy built a simple motor with a battery, permanent magnet, copper coil of wire and iron bar. When the motor is turned on, the
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Energy transformation between mechanical energy and electrical energy

Explanation:

Generally, when the copper coil and the iron bar rotate in a circular direction, there is change in the magnetic flux, and as a result an electromotive force (also known as EMF) is generated. The induced electromotive force is the voltage produced due to the presence of magnetic force due to the rotation of the coil and iron bar. Thus, the energy transformation between mechanical energy and electrical energy occurs.

T/F: The electromagnetic force holds negatively charged electrons in orbit around thr positively charged nucleus of an atom
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oppositely charged particles attract each other, while like particles repel one another. Electrons are kept in the orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force, because the nucleus in the center of the atom is positively charged and attracts the negatively charged electrons.
