NaC6H5COO \rightarrow Na{^{+}} + C6H5COO^{-}

Here the base is a benzoate ion, which is a weak base and reacts with water.

C6H5COO^{-}(aq) + H2O (l)\leftrightarrow C6H5COOH(aq)+ OH^{-}(aq)

The equation indicates that for every mole of OH- that is produced , there is one mole of C6H5COOH produced.

Therefore [OH-] = [C6H5COOH]

In the question value of PH is given and by using pH we can calculate pOH and then using pOH we can calculate [OH-]

pOH = 14 - pH

pH given = 9.04

pOH = 14-9.04 = 4.96

pOH = -log[OH-] or [OH^{-}] = 10^{^{-pOH}}

[OH^{-}] = 10^{^{-4.96}}

[OH^{-}] = 1.1\times 10^{-5}

The base dissociation equation kb = \frac{Product}{Reactant}

kb =\frac{[C6H5COOH][OH^{-}]}{[C6H5COO^{-}]}

H2O(l) is not included in the 'kb' equation because 'solid' and 'liquid' are taken as unity that is 1.

Value of Kb is given = 1.6\times 10^{-10}

And value of [OH-] we have calculated as 1.1\times 10^{-5} and value of C6H5COOH is equal to OH-

Now putting the values in the 'kb' equation we can find the concentration of C6H5COO-

kb =\frac{[C6H5COOH][OH^{-}]}{[C6H5COO^{-}]}

1.6\times 10^{-10} = \frac{[1.1\times 10^{-5}][1.1\times 10^{-5}]}{[C6H5COO^{-}]}

[C6H5COO^{-}] = \frac{[1.1\times 10^{-5}][1.1\times 10^{-5}]}{1.6\times 10^{-10}}

[C6H5COO^{-}] = 0.76 M or 0.76\frac{mol}{L}

So, Concentration of NaC6H5COO would also be 0.76 M and volume is given to us 0.50 L , now moles can we calculated as : Moles = M X L

Moles of NaC6H5COO would be = 0.76(\frac{mol}{L}) \times (0.50L)

Moles of NaC6H5COO (sodium benzoate) = 0.38 mol

Answer : The number of moles of sodium benzoate is, 0.375 moles

Solution :

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=14-pH=14-9.04=4.96

Now we have to calculate the concentration of [tex[OH^-[/tex] ions.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

4.96=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.096\times 10^{-5}

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of weak base is,

                   C_6H_5COO^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons OH^-+C_6H_5COOH

initially conc.         c                              0         0

At eqm.              c(1-\alpha)                      c\alpha        c\alpha

The expression for dissociation constant is,

k_b=\frac{c\alpha\times c\alpha}{c(1-\alpha)}

when \alpha is very very small the, the expression will be,

k_b=\frac{c^2\alpha^2}{c}=c\alpha^2\\\\\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{k_b}{c}}

And,

[OH^-]=c\alpha

Thus the expression will be,

[OH^-]=\sqrt{k_b\times c}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

1.096\times 10^{-5}=\sqrt{(1.6\times 10^{-10})\times c}

c=0.75M

Now we have to calculate the moles of sodium benzoate.

Moles=concentration\times volume=0.75M\times 0.5L=0.375moles

Therefore, the number of moles of sodium benzoate is, 0.375 moles

What is the most soluble salt of the following set? What is the most soluble salt of the following set?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

(c) AgCN\ (K_{sp} =6.0\times 10^{-17})

Explanation:

The solubility product of a solid is the amount of solid dissociates into its respective ions in the solution. Thus more the value of the Ksp, the more is the salt soluble in the solvent.

So,  Given that:-

Sn(OH)_2\ (K_{sp} =1.6\times 10^{-19})

Al(OH)_3\ (K_{sp} =1.9\times 10^{-33})

AgCN\ (K_{sp} =6.0\times 10^{-17})

Fe(OH)_3\ (K_{sp} =2.6\times 10^{-39})

The salt having highest value of Ksp is AgCN. So, it is most soluble.

1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of metals and nonmetals.
Alona [7]

Answer:

1.Metals

These are very hard except sodium

These are malleable and ductile  pieces

These are shiny

Electropositive in nature

Non-metals

These are soft except diamond

These are brittle and can break down into pieces

These are non-lustrous except iodine

Electronegative in nature

2. The electrochemical series helps to pick out substances that are good oxidizing agents and those which are good reducing agents.In an electrochemical series the species which are placed above hydrogen are more difficult to be reduced and their standard reduction potential values are negative.

3. Arrhenius theory, theory, introduced in 1887 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that acids are substances that dissociate in water to yield electrically charged atoms or molecules, called ions, one of which is a hydrogen ion (H+), and that bases ionize in water to yield hydroxide ions (OH−).

4. The common application of indicators is the detection of end points of titrations. The colour of an indicator alters when the acidity or the oxidizing strength of the solution, or the concentration of a certain chemical species, reaches a critical range of values.

When iron metal reacts with oxygen, the reaction can form Fe2O3. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction, and find
ryzh [129]
The balanced equation is 
4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃

We know that the mole of Fe₂O₃ is 6, and since the ratio between oxygen and <span>Fe₂O₃ is 3:2, we can see that

3:2 = x:6 (3 oxygen moles can make 2 </span>Fe₂O₃ moles = x oxygen moles can make 6 <span>Fe₂O₃ moles)
</span><span>
Multiply outside and inside (3*6 , 2*x) and put them on opposing sides of the equation

2*x = 3*6
2x=18
x=9
Therefore 9 moles of oxygen is needed.

Draw the major product formed when the structure shown below undergoes substitution in ch3ch2oh with heat. (use a wavy bond (sin
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

The missing image is attached below.

The objective of this question is to draw the major product formed from the diagram attached below.

From the diagram attached, we will see the reaction of a tertiary alkyl halide together with a weak nucleophile (ch3ch2oh) undergoing a nucleophilic substitution (SN₁) mechanism to yield a racemic mixture(i.e., compound that is not optically active but contains an equal amount of dextrorotatory and levorotatory stereoisomers) as a product.

How many moles of CO2 are produced from the combustion of 5.25 moles of CH3OH?
iVinArrow [24]

First, we write the reaction for CH3OH combustion

CH3OH+3/2O2--->CO2+2H2O

for 1 mole of methanol, we get 1 mole of CO2, therefore for 5,25 moles of methanol we will get 5,25 moles of CO2
