Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical</em>

<em />

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

<em>pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺</em>

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = <em>4.74</em>

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

<em>Moles NH₃</em>

<em>2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃</em>

<em>H-H equation:</em>

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 = log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 = [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

How many moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas?

tino4ka555 [31]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 340.0 moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CO₂ + 4 H₄ → CH₄ + 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

CO₂: 1 mole
H₄: 4 moles
CH₄: 1 mole
H₂O: 2 moles

<h3>Moles of CH₄ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of CO₂ form 4 moles of CH₄, 85.1 moles of CO₂ form how many moles of CH₄?

$moles of CH_{4} =\frac{85.1 moles of CO_{2}x4 moles of CH_{4} }{1 moles of CO_{2}}$

<u><em>moles of CH₄= 340.4 moles</em></u>

Then, 340.0 moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water ________

Kitty [74]

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

<h3>What is One Calorie ?</h3>

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature by 1 gram of water through 1°C is known as One Calorie.

1 Calorie = 4.18 J

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of -6.4 C and a molal freezing point depression constant Kf= 3.96 degrees C.kg

Brut [27]

Answer: $1.0\times 10^2g$

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=(-6.4-(13.6))^0C=7.2^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte like urea)

$K_f$ = freezing point constant = $3.96^0C/m$

m= molality

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}$

Weight of solvent (X)= 950 g = 0.95 kg

Molar mass of non electrolyte (urea) = 60.06 g/mol

Mass of non electrolyte (urea) added = ?

$7.2=1\times 3.96\times \frac{xg}{60.06 g/mol\times 0.95kg}$

$x=1.0\times 10^2g$

Thus $1.0\times 10^2g$ urea was dissolved.

Select all steps below that you followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment. used tongs or a test tube holder t

uysha [10]

Explanation:

Steps followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment are as follows.

Used tongs or a test tube holder to hold materials over the Bunsen burner flame.
Wore gloves and goggles.
Made careful observations of the products and reactants.
Did not smell the gases produced.

When we heat a test tube over bunsen flame then the tube gets hot and when we hold it with bare hands then out hands will burn. Therefore, it is advised to hold test tube with the help of tongs or a holder so that our hands did not burn.

We should also wear gloves and goggles so that any acid would not spill directly on our hands, skin and eyes as it can affect or damage the skin severely.

Careful observations were made so that correct calculations about the experiment can be carried out.

It is also advised that we should not smell the gases produced but gases move freely from one place to another in a laboratory or any where else.

So, we can try to avoid it by covering our mouth with a cloth but we cannot stop it. If we keep on inhaling the gases produced in a laboratory then it can also lead to severe disease or defect in the human body.
