Answer:

pH = 8.11

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of a 0.150 M benzoic acid sample = 25.0 mL

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.150 M

Ka of the benzoic acid = 4.50 * 10^-4

Step 2: The balanced equation

C7H6O2 + NaOH → C7H5O2Na  + H2O

Step 3: calculate moles

At the equivalence point we have the same amount of of acid and base

Both benzoic acid and NaOH will completely be consumed.

Moles benzoic acid = molarity *volume

Moles benzoic acid = 0.150 M * 0.025 L

Moles benzoic acid = 0.00375 moles

We we'll need 0.00375 moles NaOH to reach the equivalence point

Volume NaOH = 0.00375 moles / 0.150 M

Volume = 0.025 L = 25 mL

Total volume = 25 + 25 = 50 mL

Step 4: Calculate moles of C7H5O2Na

For 1 mol benzoic acid we need 1 mol NaOH to produce 1 mol C7H5O2Na

For 0.00375 moles benzoic acid we'll have 0.00375 moles C7H5O2Na

Step 5: The equation

C7H5O2- + H2O → C7H6O2 + OH-

Step 6: The initial concentration

[C7H5O2-] = 0.00375 moles / 0.050 L

[C7H5O2-] = 0.075 M

[C7H6O2] = 0M

[OH-] = 0M

Step 7: The concentration at the equilibrium

[C7H5O2-] = 0.075 - X M

[C7H6O2] = XM

[OH-] = XM

Step 8: Calculate Kb

Ka * Kb = Kw

Kb = Kw / Ka

Kb = 10^-14 / (4.50 *10^-4)

Kb = 2.22 *10^-11

Kb =  [C7H6O2][OH-]/[C7H5O2-]

2.22 * 10^-11 = X²/ 0.075 - X

2.22 * 10^-11 = X²/ 0.075

X² = 2.22 *10^-11 * 0.075

X² = 1.665 *10^-12

X = 1.29 * 10^-6 = [OH-]

Step 9: Calculate pOH

pOH = -log[OH-]

pOH = -log(1.29 * 10^-6 )

pOH = 5.89

Step 10: Calculate pH

pH = 14 - 5.89

pH = 8.11

Solution:

At the equivalence point, moles NaOH = moles benzoic acid  

HA + NaOH ==> NaA + H2O where HA is benzoic acid  

At the equivalence point, all the benzoic acid ==> sodium benzoate  

A^- + H2O ==> HA + OH- (again, A^- is the benzoate anion and HA is the weak acid benzoic acid)  

Kb for benzoate = 1x10^-14/4.5x10^-4 = 2.22x10^-11  

Kb = 2.22x10^-11 = [HA][OH-][A^-] = (x)(x)/0.150  

x^2 = 3.33x10^-12  

x = 1.8x10^-6 = [OH-]  

pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.74  

pH = 14 - pOH = 8.26

Which best describes the molecules of an ideal gas
Serhud [2]
Options are as follow,

A)  <span>Constant volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction,energy loss in collisions 

B)  </span><span>No volume, strong intermolecular forces of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions

C)  </span><span>Constant volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction, energy gain during collisions

D)  </span><span>No volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions

Answer:
            Option-D (</span>No volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
                   As we know there are no interactions between gas molecules due to which they lack shape and volume and occupies the shape and volume of container in which they are kept. So, we can skip Option-B. 
                   Secondly we also know that the gas molecules move randomly. They collide with the walls of container causing pressure and collide with each other. And these collisions are perfectly elastic and no energy is lost or gained during collisions. Therefore Option-A and C are skipped.
                   Now we are left with only Option-D, In option D it is given that ideal gas has no volume. This is true related to Ideal gas as it is stated in ideal gas theories that molecules are far apart from each other and the actual volume of gas molecules compared to volume of container is negligible. Hence, for ideal gas Option-D is a correct answer.
