Which statements regarding the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation are true? If the pH of the solution is known as is the pKa for the
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1, 2, and 3 are true.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

  • If the pH of the solution is known as is the pKa for the acid, the ratio of conjugate base to acid can be determined. <em>TRUE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If you know pH and pka:

10^(pH-pka) = \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

The ratio will be: 10^(pH-pka)

  • At pH = pKa for an acid, [conjugate base] = [acid] in solution. <em>TRUE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

0 = log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

10^0 = \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

1 = \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

As ratio is 1,  [conjugate base] = [acid] in solution.

  • At pH >> pKa for an acid, the acid will be mostly ionized. <em>TRUE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If pH >> pKa,  10^(pH-pka) will be >> 1, that means that you have more [A⁻] than [HA]

  • At pH << pKa for an acid, the acid will be mostly ionized. <em>FALSE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If pH << pKa,  10^(pH-pka) will be << 1, that means that you have more [HA] than [A⁻]

I hope it helps!

Identify the type of reaction and then write the formulas for the word equations and then balance each equation.
OLga [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

There are 4 types of chemical reactions:

- Synthesis is when two elements or compounds form only one compound.

- Decomposition is when 1 compound is broken into 2 or more products.

- Single replacement is when one element is replaced by another element.

- Double replacement is when the cations of two compounds are interchanged.

6.- Synthesis                            Al   +   3Cl   ⇒    AlCl₃

7.- Double replacement       2NaOH  +   H₂SO₄   ⇒   Na₂SO₄  +   2H₂O

8.- Decomposition                   Ni(ClO₃)₂   ⇒   NiCl₂   +   3O₂

9.- Combustion                      2C₄H₁₀  + 13O₂   ⇒   8CO₂   +   10H₂O

10.- Single replacement         Zn  +  2HCl  ⇒   ZnCl₂   +  H₂

Assume that the complete combustion of one mole of fructose, a monosaccharide, to carbon dioxide and water liberates 2810 kJ (ΔG
Over [174]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

        C_{6}H)_{12}O_{6}(s) + 6O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 6CO_{2}(g) + 6H_{2}O(l)

It is given that the total energy liberated is -2810 kJ/mol. As the sign is negative this means that energy is being released. Also, it is given that the energy required to synthesis is -64.1 kJ/mol.

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of compound as follows.

         No. of moles = \frac{\text{total energy}}{\text{energy necessary to synthesise 1 mole of compound X}}

                               = \frac{-2810 kJ}{-64.1 kJ/mol}

                               = 43.83 mol

                               = 44 mol (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that the number of moles of compound is 44 mol.
