Answer:

It cools down

Explanation:

The expansion valve lowers down the pressure of the refrigerant (in liquid form). This allows the refrigerant to expand. As the refrigerant expands the heated molecules in it get spread to a larger area and thus the oscillatory vibrations in the molecules get reduced there by reducing the kinetic energy ( KE )and thus the heat. Also sometimes spray of Aerosols are used to cool down the refrigerant.

A 100.0 mL solution containing 0.864 g of maleic acid (MW=116.072 g/mol) is titrated with 0.276 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the s

Lilit [14]

Answer:

pH = 1.32

Explanation:

H₂M + KOH ------------------------ HM⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

This problem involves a weak diprotic acid which we can solve by realizing they amount to buffer solutions. In the first deprotonation if all the acid is not consumed we will have an equilibrium of a wak acid and its weak conjugate base. Lets see:

So first calculate the moles reacted and produced:

n H₂M = 0.864 g/mol x 1 mol/ 116.072 g = 0.074 mol H₂M

54 mL x 1L / 1000 mL x 0. 0.276 moles/L = 0.015 mol KOH

it is clear that the maleic acid will not be completely consumed, hence treat it as an equilibrium problem of a buffer solution.

moles H₂M left = 0.074 - 0.015 = 0.059

moles HM⁻ produced = 0.015

Using the Henderson - Hasselbach equation to solve for pH:

ph = pKₐ + log ( HM⁻/ HA) = 1.92 + log ( 0.015 / 0.059) = 1.325

Notes: In the HH equation we used the moles of the species since the volume is the same and they will cancel out in the quotient.

For polyprotic acids the second or third deprotonation contribution to the pH when there is still unreacted acid ( Maleic in this case) unreacted.

If 5.12 liters of a 2.75 M phosphoric acid is neutralized by magnesium hydroxide solution of 4.00 M.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

5.28 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Volume of acid (Va) = 5.12L

Molarity of acid (Ma) = 2.75M

Molarity of base (Mb) = 4M

Volume of base (Vb) =.?

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

From the balanced equation above,

Mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

Mole ratio of the base (nB) = 3

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of the base.

This is illustrated below:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

2.75 x 5.12 / 4 x Vb = 2/3

Cross multiply

4 x 2 x Vb = 2.75 x 5.12 x 3

Divide both side by 4 x 2

Vb = (2.75 x 5.12 x 3)/(4 x 2)

Vb = 5.28 L

Therefore, the volume of the base is 5.28 L
