2 1^/4 + 11^/2 = 9^/4 + 3^/2 = 9^/4 + 6^/4 = 15^/4 = 3 3^/4

Answer:

$\frac{15}{4}$ pounds of cheese Sam had bought altogether.

Explanation:

Mass of Swiss cheese bought by Sam = $2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4} pounds$

Mass of cheddar cheese bought by Sam = $1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} pounds$

Total mas of cheese bought by Sam:

$\frac{9}{4} pounds+\frac{3}{2} pounds$

$=\frac{9\times 2+3\times 4}{4\times 2} pounds=\frac{30}{8} pounds=\frac{15}{4} pounds$

$\frac{15}{4} pounds=3\frac{3}{4}$ pounds

$\frac{15}{4}$ pounds of cheese Sam had bought altogether.

A buffer solution is composed of 1.00 mol of acid and 2.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a of the acid is 4.90 , what is

Gemiola [76]

Answer: The pH of the buffer is 5.25

Explanation:

Let the volume of buffer solution be V

We know that:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjugate base}]}{[acid]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.90

$[\text{conjugate base}]=\frac{2.25}{V}$

$[acid]=\frac{1.00}{V}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.90+\log(\frac{2.25/V}{1.00/V})\\\\pH=5.25$

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 5.25

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.7 grams of gaseous helium from 22.1 °C to 39.4 °C ?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Q = 2640.96 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of He gas = 10.7 g

Initial temperature = 22.1°C

Final temperature = 39.4°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree. Specific heat capacity of He is 14.267 J/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 39.4°C - 22.1°C

ΔT = 17.3°C

Q = 10.7 g× 14.267 J/g.°C × 17.3°C

Q = 2640.96 J

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide follows first order kinetics and has a rate constant of 2.54 x 10-4 s-1 at a certain temp

pav-90 [236]

Answer: The initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide at the given temperature is 0.399 M

Explanation:

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is following first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $2.54\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 855 s

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.321 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2.54\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{855s}\log \frac{[A_o]}{0.321}$

$[A_o]=0.399M$

Hence, the initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide at the given temperature is 0.399 M
