Answer:
6.22 × 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction
HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺
Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺
The pH of the solution is 2.78.
pH = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M
Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid
We will use the following expression.
Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M
Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid
We will use the following expression.
Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca
Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵
Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.
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.
Acid A, assuming the two acids have the same pH. The M stands for molarity which is how concentrated a substance is (basically the higher the molarity the more concentrated the acid is). However, pH refers to how acidic a substance is. If the two acids have different levels of acidity, the answer may be different.
Answer:
I don't really get the options but it favoures the reactant side.
Explanation:
Increasing pressure favours the side with fewer moles of gas while decreasing pressure favours the side with the more moles of gas. E.g
If there is 0 moles of gas particles in the reactant side and 1 mole of gas particle in the product side, increasing pressure favours the reactants while decreasing pressure favours the product side.
With the explanations I have made, I hope the question is now clear to you.
