What is the ph of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Reika [66]3 years ago
7 0
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:

pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19

The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.

Which is a pure substance?<br> soda<br> gasoline<br> salt water<br> carbon dioxide
hram777 [196]

Answer: Carbon dioxide is a pure substance.

Explanation: A pure substance is defined when a substance has a single type of molecule. If more than 1 type of molecule is present in a substance, then it is considered as a mixture.

  • Soda is basically a mixture of water and carbon dioxide. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Gasoline is a mixture of may gases. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Salt water contains salt and water molecules, hence it is considered as a mixture.
  • Carbon dioxide has only 1 type of molecule which is CO_2 molecules. Hence, it is a pure substance.

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl
Annette [7]

Answer:

3.67 mol Cl

Explanation:

We need to convert g of Cl 2 to moles of Cl. First we divide 130 gCl2  by the molar mass (70.90 gCl2/mol) to find out how many moles of Cl2 do we have.

130 gCl2 x \frac{1 mol Cl2 }{70.90 gCl2} = 1.83 mol Cl2

Then we need to convert 1.83 mol de Cl2 to moles of Cl. We have 2 moles of Cl in every Cl2 molecule so we just need to multiply by 2.

1.83 molCl2 x \frac{2 molCl}{1 molCl2} = 3.67 molCl
