Answer:

9.94 mL, the volume of ethanol needed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l)

We convert the mass of the formed product to moles:

15 g . 1mol / 44g = 0.341 moles

2 moles of dioxide are produced by 1 mol of ethanol, in order to stoichiometry.

Therefore, 0.341 moles of CO₂ must be produced by (0.341. 1) / 2 = 0.1705 moles of alcohol.

We convert the moles to mass, and then, the mass to volume by the use of density.

0.1705 mol . 46 g / 1 mol = 7.84 g of ethanol

Ethanol density = Ethanol mass /Ethanol volume

Ethanol volume = Ethanol mass /Ethanol density → 7.84 g /0.789 g/mL =

9.94 mL

Answer:

We need 9.95 mL of ethanol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Density ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

Mass CO2 produced = 15.0 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)

Step 3: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 15.0 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.341 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles ethanol

For 1 mol ethanol, 3 moles we need O2 to produce 2 moles CO2 and 3 moles H2O

For 0.341 moles CO2 we need 0.341 /2 = 0.1705 moles ethanol

Step 5: Calculate mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.1705 moles * 46.07 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 7.85 grams

Step 6: Calculate volume ethanol

Volume ethanol = mass / density

Volume = 7.85 grams / 0.789 g/mL

Volume= 9.95 mL

We need 9.95 mL of ethanol

A buffer solution is made using a weak acid, HA. If the pH of the buffer is 9 and the ratio of A– to HA is 100, what is the pKa
sdas [7]
To calculate the pKa of the weak acid, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. It is expressed as pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]. This equation takes into account the concentration of the substance that does not dissociates into ions since it is a weak acid. We caculate as follows:

pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]
9 = pKa - log 1/100
pKa = 7

HC2H3O2 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇔ C2H3O2- (aq) + H3O+ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10-5
marin [14]

The concentration of [H3O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In general, the weak acid ionization reaction  

HA (aq) ---> H⁺ (aq) + A⁻ (aq)  

Ka's value  

\large {\boxed {\bold {Ka \: = \: \frac {[H ^ +] [A ^ -]} {[HA]}}}}

Reaction

HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇔  (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

\tt Ka=\dfrac{[C_2H_3O^{2-}[H_3O^+]]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}}\\\\1.8\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{0.22\times [H_3O^+]}{0.035}

[H₃O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

What are some chemical properties of Gallium?
Natali [406]

Answer:

Gallium is silvery white and soft enough to be cut with a knife. It takes on a bluish tinge because of superficial oxidation. Unusual for its low melting point (about 30 °C [86 °F]), gallium also expands upon solidification and supercools readily, remaining a liquid at temperatures as low as 0 °C (32 °F).
