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 of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. If 3.29 mol of m
gregori [183]

Answer:

1.645 moles of excess reactant that is of magnesium metal are left over.

Explanation:

Moles of magnesium metal = 3.29 mol

Moles of HCl = 3.29 mol

Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

According to recation, 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mol of magnesium metal, then 3.29 moles of HCl will react with :

\frac{1}{2}\times 3.29 mol=1.645 mol of magnesium metal

Moles of HCl left = 3.29mol - 3.29 mol = 0

Moles of magnesium metal left = 3.29 mol - 1.645 mol = 1.645 mol

1.645 moles of excess reactant that is of magnesium metal are left over.
