Explanation :

In thermodynamics, a system is region or part of space which is being studied and observed while the surrounding is the region or space around the system which interacts with the system.

Here in the experiment ,system which is observed is reaction or changes when citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are mixed together. And the mixing is carried out in the calorimeter which serves as a surrounding around the system.

The reason behind the using the calorimeter is measure the energy change occurring during the reaction.

Amphetamine (c9h13n) is a weak base with a pkb of 4.2. calculate the ph of a solution containing an amphetamine concentration of
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

pH = 10.505

Explanation:

Molar mass of Amphetamine ( C9H13N) = 135 g/mol

Given that the concentration of Amphetamine = 225 mg/L

mass of Amphetamine in one Liter = \frac{225}{ 1000} = 0.225 g

Number of moles of Amphetamine in one liter =\frac {0.225 g} { 135g/mol}

= 0.001667 mol

∴ molarity = 0.0017 M

              C₉H₁₃N          +        H₂O -------->       C₉H₁₃NH⁺  +      OH⁻

I(M)         0.001667   M                                                  0                 0

C(M)            -x                                                                  x                 x

E(M)         0.001667 - x                                                   x                 x

Pkb = -log Kb = 4.2

∴ Kb = 6.309 x 10⁻⁵

Kb = 6.309 x 10⁻⁵

Equilibrium constant  = [C₉H₁₃NH⁺][OH⁻]/ [C₉H₁₃N]

6.309 x 10⁻⁵  = x² / 0.001667-x

where 0.001667 -x ≅ 0.001667

Then;

x² = 6.309 x 10⁻⁵  × 0.001667

x² =  1.0517103 × 10⁻⁷

x = \sqrt {1.0517103 * 10^{-7}

x = 0.00032 M

x = [OH-] = 0.00032 M

∴ pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = -log (0.00032)

pOH =3.495

pH = 14 - 3.495

= 10.505

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a buffer solution to the pKa of its conjugate acid and the ratio of the con
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The correct answer is 190.5 mL of 1.00 M KH₂PO₄

Explanation:

A phosphate buffer is composed by phosphate acid (KH₂PO₄) and its conjugated base (K₂HPO₄). To obtain the relation between the concentrations of base and acid to add, we use Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH= pKa + log \frac{base}{acid}

We have: pH= 6.97 and pKa= 7.21. So, we replace the values in the equation:

6.97= 7.21 + log \frac{base}{acid}

6.97-7.21= log \frac{base}{acid}

-0.24= log \frac{base}{acid}

10^{-0.24}= \frac{base}{acid}

0.575 = \frac{base}{acid}

\frac{0.575}{1}= \frac{base}{acid}

It means that you have to mix a volume 0.575 times of conjugated base and 1 volume of acid. If we assume a total buffer concentration of 1 M, we have:

base + acid = 1

base= 1 - acid

We replace in the previous equation:

0.575= \frac{1-acid}{acid}

0.575 acid= 1 - acid

0.575 acid + 1 acid= 1

1.575 acid = 1

acid= 1/1,575

acid= 0.635

base= 1 - acid = 1 - 0.635 = 0.365

For a total volume of 300 ml, the volumes of both acid and base will be:

300 ml x 0.635 M = 190.5 ml of acid (KH₂PO₄)

300 ml x 0.365 M= 109.5 ml of base (K₂HPO₄)

We can corroborate our calculations as follows:

190.5 ml + 109.5 ml = 300 ml

109.5 ml / 190.5 ml = 0.575

why is a graduated cylinder most appropriate for measuring the volume of a liquid instead of a beaker ?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Graduated cylinders are designed for accurate measurements of liquids with a much smaller error than beakers. They are thinner than a beaker, have many more graduation marks, and are designed to be within 0.5-1% error. ... Therefore, this more precise relative of the beaker is just as critical to almost every laboratory.

Explanation:
