formic acid buffer containing 0.50 M HCOOH and 0.50 M HCOONa has a pH of 3.77. What will the pH be after 0.010 mol of NaOH has b

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

pH = 3.95

Explanation:

It is possible to calculate the pH of a buffer using H-H equation.

pH = pka + log₁₀ [HCOONa] / [HCOOH]

If concentration of [HCOONa] = [HCOOH] = 0.50M and pH = 3.77:

3.77 = pka + log₁₀ [0.50] / [0.50]

<em />

Knowing pKa, the NaOH reacts with HCOOH, thus:

HCOOH + NaOH → HCOONa + H₂O

That means the NaOH you add reacts with HCOOH producing more HCOONa.

Initial moles of 100.0mL = 0.1000L:

[HCOOH] = (0.50mol / L) ₓ 0.1000L = 0.0500moles HCOOH

[HCOONa] = (0.50mol / L) ₓ 0.1000L = 0.0500moles HCOONa

After the reaction, moles of each species is:

0.0500moles HCOOH - 0.010 moles NaOH (Moles added of NaOH) = 0.0400 moles HCOOH

0.0500moles HCOONa + 0.010 moles NaOH (Moles added of NaOH) = 0.0600 moles HCOONa

With these moles of the buffer, you can calculate pH:

pH = 3.77 + log₁₀ [0.0600] / [0.0400]

In the bromination of arenes, which of the following statements regarding the reaction is true?a.The hydrocarbon is used in exce

Olenka [21]

The hydrocarbon is used in excess.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bromination of an arene is not simple as bromination of an alkane. This is because the carbocation or free radicle formation in benzene is a very energy consuming process. This is why a lewis base like aluminium bromide or ferric bromide is used. The ferric bromide takes in the bromine radicle and forms the brominium cation which helps in the formation of electrophile. Now this electrophile brominium cation attacks the benzene ring and forms a temporary sp3 hybrid carbon intermediate. Then the hydrogen is taken by the FeBr4- forming HBr and regenerating the FeBr3 as well as Aromaticity of the arene species at the same time. Here hydrocarbon is used in excess just to prevent the chances of multiple substitution in the same arene molecule.
