Calculate the pH of a buffer solution prepared by mixing 60.0 mL of 1.00 M lactic acid and 25.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium lactate.

This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:

pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]

Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid). 

Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L

Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M

Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48

Consider the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas to form iodine monochloride. A reaction mixture at 298.15k initially c
uranmaximum [27]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.

I_{2}  (g) + Cl_{2}  (g) ----->  2 ICl (g)

Step 2 : Set up ICE table

We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction

Following points are considered while drawing ICE table

- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0

- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products

- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Check attached file for ICE table

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation

The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as

K_{eq} = \frac{[ICl]^{2}}{[I_{2}][Cl_{2}]}

Step 4 : Solving for x

Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9

Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{(0.437-x) (0.269-x)}

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118}

(2x)^{2} = 81.9 [ x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118]

4x^{2} = 81.9x^{2} -57.8x +9.66

77.9x^{2} -57.8x+9.66 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get

x = 0.488 or x = 0.254

The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.

Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M

Hence, x = 0.254 M

From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x

[ICl]_{eq} = 2 ( 0.254) = 0.508 M

The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M

The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxyacids are acid containing oxygen; they are also known as acid-alcohol or acid-phenol. As said earlier, the strength of these acids increases with increases in the polarity of these compounds. So, what makes the polarity is as a result of the electronegative substituents attached to it. Halogen family possesses the highest electronegativity in the periodic table, and electronegativity decreases down the group.

The ranking of the oxyacids in order of decreasing acid strength from strongest to weakest acid is:

HClO3 > . HClO2 > HClO > HBrO
