Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$pH=4.1$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for a concentration of 0.42 M of benzoic acid whose Ka is 6.3x10⁻⁵ in 0.33 M sodium benzoate, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the required pH:

$pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )$

Whereas the concentration of the base is 0.33 M and the concentration of the acid is 0.42 M, thereby, we obtain:

$pH=-log(Ka)+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\pH=-log(6.3x10^{-5})+log(\frac{0.33M}{0.42M} )\\\\pH=4.1$

Regards.

When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II)

lesya692 [45]

Answer: The mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.

Explanation:

Given: Current = 62.0 A

Time = 23.0 sec

Formula used to calculate charge is as follows.

$Q = I \times t$

where,

Q = charge

I = current

t = time

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$Q = I \times t\\= 62.0 A \times 23.0 sec\\= 1426 C$

It is known that 1 mole of a substance tends to deposit a charge of 96500 C. Therefore, number of moles obtained by 1426 C of charge is as follows.

$Moles = \frac{1426 C}{96500 C/mol}\\= 0.0147 mol$
