Answer:

pH = 4.58

Explanation:

The reaction of NaOH with acetic acid, CH₃COOH occurs as follows:

NaOH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + H₂O

<em>Moles that react:</em>

NaOH = 10mL = 0.010L * (0,240mol / L) = 0.0024 moles NaOH

CH₃COOH = 50.0mL = 0.050L * (0.120mol / L) = 0.0060 moles CH₃COOH

That means after the reaction you will have:

CH₃COOH: 0.0060 mol - 0.0024 mol = 0.0036 moles

CH₃COO⁻Na⁺: 0.0024 moles

in solution, you will have the mixture of a weak acid (Acetic acid), with its conjugate base (sodium acetate, CH₃COO⁻Na⁺). And pH of this buffer can be determined using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

For Acetic buffer pKa = 4.76:

pH = 4.76 + log [CH₃COO⁻Na⁺] / [CH₃COOH]

<em>Where [] is molarity of each species or moles</em>

<em />

Replacing:

pH = 4.76 + log [0.0024 moles] / [0.0036 moles]

<h3>pH = 4.58</h3>

<em />

A sample of hydrogen occupies a volume of 351 mL at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. What is the new volume if the temperatu
xeze [42]
Volume of Hydrogen V1 = 351mL 
Temperature T1 = 20 = 20 + 273 = 293 K 
Temperature T2 = 38 = 38 + 273 = 311 K 
We have V1 x T2 = V2 x T1 
So V2 = (V1 x T2) / T1 = (351 x 311) / 293 = 372.56 
Volume at 38 C = 373 ml

The molecular weight of vitamin C , C6H8O6 is 176.12 grams over mol
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0250 g.

Explanation:

∵ no. of moles (n) = mass / molar mass.

<em>∴ mass of Vitamine C = (n)(molar mass)</em> = (0.000142 mol)(176.12 g/mol) = 0.02501 g = <em>0.0250 g. "three significant figures"</em>

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element that differ in their numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Many isotopes occur naturally. ... Different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties because they have the same numbers of protons and elec

Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing boiling point: potassium fluoride (KF), acetylene (C2H2), and formaldehyde (
otez555 [7]

Answer: KF > CH_2O > C_2H_2

Explanation:

The order of boiling point depends upon the type of interactions present between the molecules.

Potassium fluoride (KF) is an ionic compound and the opposite ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

C_2H_2 is a covalent compound and the molecules are held together by weak van der Waals' forces.

Formaldehyde is a polar compound due to presence of polar carbonyl group. Hence dipole-dipole force is present between formaldehyde molecules.

Thus the decreasing order of boiling point is:

KF > CH_2O > C_2H_2
