In the sn2 experiment, what was the purpose of washing the distilled product with 5% naoh

1 answer:

5 0

The purpose of washing the product with NaOH is simply to neutralize any acid which remained or leaked after the 1st initial separation. The NaOH base reacts with the acid to form neutralization reaction products which are soluble in water.

Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.

Use this equation for the following problems: 2NaN3 --> 2Na+3N2

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1) 65.0

2) 16.434 L = 16434 mL.

Explanation:

2NaN₃ → 2Na + 3N₂,

It is clear from the balanced equation that 2.0 moles of NaN₃ are decomposed to 2.0 moles of Na and 3.0 moles of N₂.

Q1: How many grams of NaN₃ are needed to make 23.6L of N₂?

Density of N₂ = 0.92 g/L which means that every 1.0 L of N₂ contains 0.92 g of N₂.

Now, we can get the mass of N₂ in 23.6 L N₂ using cross multiplication:

1.0 L of N₂ contains → 0.92 g of N₂.

23.6 L of N₂ contains → ??? g of N₂.

∴ The mass of N₂ in 23.6 L of N₂ = (23.6 L)(0.92 g)/(1.0 L) = 21.712 g.

We can get the no. of moles of 23.6 L of N₂ (21.712 g) using the relation:

n = mass/molar mass = (21.712 g)/(28.0 g/mol) = 0.775 mol.

We can get the no. of moles of NaN₃ needed to produce 0.775 mol of N₂:

using cross multiplication:

2.0 moles of NaN₃ produce → 3.0 moles of N₂, from the balanced equation.

??? mol of NaN₃ produce → 0.775 moles of N₂.

∴ The no. of moles of NaN₃ needed = (2.0 mol)(0.775 mol)/(3.0 mol) = 0.517 mol.

Finally, we can get the grams of NaN₃ needed:

mass = no. of moles x molar mass = (0.517 mol)(65.0 g/mol) = 33.6 g.

Q2: How many mL of N₂ result if 8.3 g Na are also produced?

We need to get the no. of moles of 8.3 g Na using the relation:

n = mass/atomic mass = (8.3 g)/(22.98 g/mol) = 0.36 mol.

We can get the no. of moles of N₂ produced with 0.36 mol of Na:

using cross multiplication:

2.0 moles of Na produced with → 3.0 moles of N₂, from the balanced equation.

0.36 moles of Na produced with → ??? moles of N₂.

∴ The no. of moles of N₂ needed = (3.0 mol)(0.36 mol)/(2.0 mol) = 0.54 mol.

We can get the mass of 0.54 mol of N₂:

mass = no. of moles x molar mass = (0.54 mol)(28.0 g/mol) = 15.12 g.

Now, we can get the mL of 15.12 g of N₂:

using cross multiplication:

1.0 L of N₂ contains → 0.92 g of N₂, from density of N₂ = 0.92 g/L.

??? L of N₂ contains → 15.12 g of N₂.

∴ The volume of N₂ result = (1.0 L)(15.12 g)/(0.92 g) = 16.434 L = 16434 mL.

A 4.36 g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 ml of water. an acid-base indicator is added and the

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) $102.6g/mol$

(b) Rubidium

Explanation:

Hello,

This titration is carried out by assuming that the volume of base doesn't have a significant change when the mass is added, thus, we state the following data a apply the down below formula to compute the molarity of the base solution:

$V_{base}=0.1L; M_{acid}=2.5M, V_{acid}=0.017L\\V_{base}M_{base}=V_{acid}M_{acid}$
